YES! and when you turn it on, ever time you use it, check your battery strength (the % left will display before it goes into transmitting mode) If you are under 60-50% please, for my sake if I am the one you are trying ti find, REPLACE the batteries with a fresh set of 3 of the same batteries!

yeppers, hate the white chalky residues when opening it back up the night before you go out early season.

Yes... to avoid corrosion which can normally occur when alkaline batteries are stored for long periods of non-use in devices

Definitely re-up your batteries every year, whether you leave them in over the summer or not. Pulling them out now means backup batteries for the remote during the hockey playoffs - that is good.
