Apologies if the has already been addressed.
I am trying to charge a Legacy remote that hasn't been used in several years, with the original batteries. The charging lights on the base are both slow flashing simultaneously, and the back of the remote is getting warm. After the remote has been in the base for almost two hours, the remote does not turn on. Is there an obvious thing I'm missing? Or are the batteries kaput and need replacing?

Your rechargeable batteries are toast. Don’t try to use them. Shut the charging feature off on the base and use alkaline batteries until you get replacement rechargeables
I use my #993 charging base to charge the CAB2 remotes, the #990 gets them too warm. As Gary says, toss those batteries and get some new ones. I use the Tenergy low-self-discharge NiMh batteries, they work fine in the CAB2 and charge in the charging base fine as well.
Gentlemen,
Many thanks. I shall make that the canonical solution. Alkalines until I can get new NiMH.
