In general, the battery holder is going to be found underneath the fireplace. You may need to take a face off or fold a grill/door down. You'll also want to lift the screen frame off to give yourself more room to work with if your appliance has one.
Many models have a battery backup that can be used to light the pilot during a power outage. Batteries should only be used as a power source only in the event of a power outage.
Like with a backup ignition module, you can replace the batteries in the remote to eliminate the beeping sound. New batteries should disable the beeping noise. Keep in mind that the receiver box may contain batteries as well. The receiver box is designed to receive the signals sent by the remote.
Many models, such as Heat & Glo gas fireplaces and gas inserts are outfitted with IntelliFire or IntelliFire Plus ignition systems, which have battery backup systems that can be used to light the pilot during a power outage.
The batteries have a typical lifespan of about two years, but frequent use of the fireplace may deplete their charge in less time. You can replace the batteries in the remote control, but it's best to leave the gas log battery replacement to a trained professional.
Our Fingerslide control gas fires do not require a battery or mains power supply to operate however, do require a battery (supplied) for ignition. This is located below the burner. Our Remote control fires do not require a mains supply but do require a battery (supplied) for ignition.
Our fireplaces do not rely on main power, which means that the batteries in your fireplace and remote allow it to continue to be used during power outages or severe storms. With that in mind, it is important to remember to replace the batteries once per year, or when indicated, to ensure optimal performance.
Outside of that though, virtually all gas fireplaces that I'm aware of have battery backups as standard equipment, although there are a few that offer it only as optional. If emergency heat is important to you, make sure to let your dealer know that you need that, so they can recommend the right fireplace for the job.
Check your circuit breaker, and if it's tripped, flip it to the on position. If the gas and electricity supply seem to be functioning well, it could be a sensor issue. Adjust your temperature settings to see if your unit kicks on. Ensure that the thermocouple or thermopile is securely in its proper place.
Your “beeping” fireplace is telling you something: It's time to replace batteries!
Answer: The series of quick beeps is an indication that the batteries within the unit are critically low.
Thermocouple issues, pilot light problems, blocked venting systems, safety features, and gas supply issues are common reasons why gas fireplaces shut off. Regular maintenance, cleaning, and professional servicing are essential to prevent unexpected shut-offs.

Many gas fireplaces use batteries to power key functions such as the ignition system and remote control operation. While the fireplace may rely on gas for heat, the electronic components are battery-powered, especially in newer models.
The remote receiver can be either wall-mounted in a standard plastic switch box (not metal) or placed on or near the fireplace hearth. Preferably, the remote receiver should be wall-mounted in a plastic switch box, as this will protect its electronic components from the heat produced by the gas appliance.
