Contact Shaw, and say that your remote-control is broken. They will ship a replacement to you, at no cost.
There might be a fee if you walk in to a Shaw/Rogers store-front, to ask for a replacement (from their back room).
Are you testing both voltage (1.5 V) and amperage (over 4 A for a brand-new battery) ?
