Wireless Keyboard 1-2 day battery life!

Since upgrading to OS X 10.11.4, the battery life on Wireless Keyboard (older model, not the new Magic Keyboard) dropped from about 3 to 4 weeks to 1 to 2 days! I am using Apple's rechargeable batteries and the same set of batteries hasn't affected Magic Trackpad (also older model).

And FYI, I only use the keyboard for about 8-12 hours.

OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

I've experienced the same battery drain since upgrading software on my late 2012 iMac. Was never a problem before...

I have same issue. I am having to change batteries often! Not rehargeables though. Using Duracell; same I've always used. Getting too expensive. Any solution?
