Seriously, I don't know.
If not, then you'll be running out more often than a normal remote, and have to keep buying (More expensive, and more annoying since they're not always stocked) watch batteries.

Well I don't really know either. They seem to have more charge, since I think I've had to replace my watch battery once, and I've had it for ten years, and presumably I can't see it taking much more power than a remote control.
My main point is that at least on the surface it seemed like they were trying some new shit to make common place things slightly better. So thus we should all think of new shit to make common things slightly better.
Like...solar panels on your car.

Anyway, any battery that actually requires you to take it out in order to recharge it, is for chumps.

True, but presumably integrated rechargeable batteries would drive the price up. It's just a remote, not an MP3 player, which also takes a lot more juice to run. Rechargeable batteries in an MP3 player make a lot of sense, because if it used regular old batteries you'd be replacing them every two days, since the things run for hours at a time.
What MP3 players need is...a keychain attachment and belt clips standard on all models. So many simply have one or the other, or, in the case of most Apple products until the iPod Nano, neither.
