Hape - Remote Control Engine

Battery wearing out after only a few weeks

Was great at the start. Lasted a whole day of constant play on a charge and easy for child to turn on and off. After a few weeks it now suddenly does not last more than 2 hours of on and off play. Little Canadian won't provide any solutions or help either, that makes me weary to purchase electronics from here again. It could have just been from a bad batch but it is an expensive toy that I am now stuck having to constantly charge and take away from my child mid play. To stop a tantrum doing this, I swap it with a cheap ikea battery powered one that lasts much much longer.....
