I've had this happen a few times over the years.

After the first couple occured, I just change the transmitter as you
suggest. It never occured to me to mention it here. I just considered
it one of those product quirks. HOWEVER ...... there are times when
brand new lithium batteries will go bad very quickly. So it's not
always the transmitter.
