The Buzz xr4500 remote seems to work well for a couple of weeks with rechargeables, then it seems to start having a mind of it’s own, and starts to malfunction, speeds through channels etc. Change the batteries and then it is okay again for another couple of weeks. Any suggestions?

Batteries are an issue with the Buzz remoted. Rechargeables don't work well they need 1.4 volts to work properly and rechargeable don't have it for very long.
I will they could fix it.

I put my Energizer rechargeable in April in my BT-200 and I'm at 51% 4 months later with no issues.

As good as the ARQ-100 is it doesn't come close to the BT-100 or BT-200.And the ARQ-100 works with all models including the 3000 series.

also per video all buttons on v2 are properly mapped for 4000+ and essentials.

If you do not use the IR the batteries last longer.
