Yes but then he needs to make content out of nothing. Don't he?

this can also inspire some people to reuse lithium batteries that are only sit maybe in some other things, but yeah is an overkill for a tv remote...

@@MiguelRodriguez5 ever heard of rechargable lithium batteries?

Lol let the man be great dammit

Exactly

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

New Batteries: Plz only with Lithium, not Alkali Mangan! Why? The Cells of Alkali Mangan has Acid in it....

Capacity is not everything. You need to take Energy storage in to consideration if you want to compare two different Cell chemistries. In that case: NiMh: 2 x 0.75Ah x 1.2V: 1.8Wh Li-Ion: 0.25Ah x 3.7V: 0.925Wh Also you have to take charge and discharge losses in to account, Li-Ion cells are at something like 99%, I'm not sure how high the losses are for NiMh, but they are way higher. But I agree, it's a stupid idea in that case. Also there is no discharge protection, so that cell will probably die, because the remote probably still works at 1.8V or even lower, which will quickly kill the Li-Ion cell. With some devices, it does make sense (old NiMh Battery powered drill is a prime example were it DOES make sense). But for such lowpower devices, it really doesn't.

Last week i changed the Batteries on my TV remote. They worked almost 5 years.

Some batteries can spill/ leak and corrode the terminals and spoil the panel

a couple of rechargeable AAA will require you to take them out every time you need to charge ... but this silly idea allows you to just plug in your phone charger

@@fidztshuma1986 'Every time you need to charge'? Two AAA's will last for about two years, it's not exactly hard work.

Where are your remote batteries lasting so long? I replace them at least once a year

All that work vs changing the batteries once every 5 years.

Simple problems require complex solutions 😎

🤣🤣

Take a walk through a factory and you’ll notice that they’re fairly complicated operations. This guy came up with a great idea that manufacturing companies should implement. The issue is that the battery companies probably have a stake in the controller/battery powered industry 🤷🏾‍♂️ Why phase yourself out of a market? If batteries aren’t included with the device, I’d bet that a deal couldn’t be made with the battery company to supply batteries to ship with the device. Just my 2 cents.

@@riffdex _Surely_ he could have disassembled a cordless drill, used the gearbox and motor as a generator, rigged it up to a stationary bike, and used _that_ to power his remote control? Rube Goldberg is alive and well in the Third World -- and he's getting by via YooToob monetization payments!

Our was a giant of a remote back in the day and it had them big ass numbers and to push a number it half your body strength . Lol 😂

​@@pedrorodriguez8942 Yes they were the ones like on the old Dennis the menace show when Mr Wilson kept trying to figure out why his remote wouldn't work. They were huge and made a loud click noise changing the channel and had to wait like 10 seconds for the signal to catch up with the TV 😂

I was our remote as a kid

A genius would add a coil to a capacitor and have a magnet that moved freely within the coil. A quick shake would charge the capacitor and provide enough power to use the remote. But don't let anybody know about this...

I totally agree and do that myself, but there is one advantage to being able to recharge the battery without having to swap out for freshly recharged ones. Invariably after weeks of use, the batteries conk out at a critical moment when I'm using the remote, and this would allow me to plug in to the phone charger I always have handy at my TV chair and keep going without getting up or interrupting my watching. After all, the whole point of a remote control is to avoid getting up out of your chair, right? 😉 I actually have one old universal remote that has a (gasp!) replaceable rechargeable Li-Ion battery and a charging dock, but most don't. None of my Logitech Harmony remotes are rechargeable, and with their LCD displays they run through batteries much quicker than most remotes. I think I'll need a bigger battery than the one used in this video, though.

@@awo1fman Your remotes batteries never fail instantly to the extent where you would need to get up and get new batteries immediately. Failing batteries will take many weeks to completely stop working. The trick to keeping them alive for longer is knowing that the batteries and the contacts will oxidise over time. When they start to lose power, simply shake the remote, which will slightly move the batteries, which will clean a little bit of the oxide from the contacts allowing the reduced power to be enough, as you're reducing the resistance in the circuit. After a few weeks this will become less effective, but you can then open the remote and give the batteries a half rotation and this will improve the contact and you'll get a few more weeks of power, in which time you can replace at your leisure and convenience. I once got 3 extra months out of some failing remotes batteries.

A genius is getting paid from u watching and commenting on his channel...lol

Lol.. i hope no one really goes and actually does this to their remote..that would be hilarious 😂 🤣

Yes it is an incredible advance of science but this guy does not get the news of new inventions in the world

They already did. They used a physical AA batteries with a micro USB charging port

They're already out. I think it's called Nickel cadmium. Something like that. I had them when I had RC cars back in the day. Came with a charger but the charger didn't keep the charger like what's out now.

This is a genius idea, lol

The original batteries are AAA, they are usually around 1.2v - 1.37v each

@@ArcAiN6 When dead, yes.

​@@saraheart8527no he's correct. Rechargeable AAA batteries are often 1.2 rather than 1.5

@@CraigAHaskell Yes, I'm aware of petty much all battery chemistry voltages, so when I saw "ORIGINAL" battery voltages, I figured he meant the batteries they come with, alkaline batteries, which I'm sure you know can be as high as 1.6 Volts, but are pretty much dead at 1.2V. So no biggy, just a misunderstanding. I use LiPo battery's with my Radio Control Aircraft. Using rechargables on a remote control is actually a hassle and a waste of energy, since a set of alkalines can last 2 years. But I bet you know that too. : )

For real, it's totally mind blowing. 🤣

Oh the humanityLOL

And there's me thinking that he'd somehow managed to channel 'thought' to power the remote. Instead.. " I think I'll use a more expensive Battery to replace a cheaper one" - Einstein would be proud of this..

Yes, but now it's rechargeable.

True. I have (do not know why) many remotes for equipment that dissaperared years ago, same with cell phones.

I was going to say that exact thing! lol

Probably outlast some crappy budget lithium rechargeable, too...

@@EnriqueThiele My couch ends up swallowing my remotes. I have to fight the beast to get it back before it evolves into a monster that then tries swallowing my dogs.

Ours outlast the remotes... those things grow legs and feet and get up and walk off in our house. Only reason the TV's don't is because they are typically mounted up on the wall, too high for our 8 year old to do anything to them. The ones that haven't been before have ended up in our sub basement, his closet, our basement hidden under a table while he was suppose to be cleaning up a huge mess he made... so, yea... I feel ya!

Would have been much better to store the cell up higher in the remote and enclose the little charge board completely inside the compartment. Just open to charge.

@@maskedavenger2578 So, my critique of his design, saying he should have taken a moment to consider making it better, makes you judgemental about me and my home? That's interesting. Are you going to point out the other people who've mentioned the voltage of the rechargeable battery being higher than what the remote is designed for, possibly causing it to fail sooner? Perhaps I should have phrased my design comment differently, but I'd hardly call this a "genius" idea. It does a good job of showing an idea, but hopefully so people can learn from it and do a better job. Read the other comments and see, people are doing just that.

Yup I just got 4 lithium AAA 1200.mAh batteries and charger for $10 ....uses any 5 volt transformer .... since my Buzz TV remote uses batteries fast (every 3-4 weeks) now instead of replacing I (R&R) Remove & Recharge batteries instead.....gonna do the same with my AA toothbrush batt's since the same charger will recharge them

💯% right!!.. 🤯

Or just glue the two assemblies together, adjust the incoming voltage for the circuit, and have a remote that outlives our power grid.

Because it is useless hack. Alkaline batteries in remote would last 2+ years easily. The time and effort to replace batteries in remote is too low. Same with clocks as most clock batteries last 2+ years. These kind of rechargeable batteries are needed only in intensive appliances like cameras, speakers etc

Hahahahahahhahhahaa

@@thomasthompson1846 but you are still using a battery to replace a battery. Just use rechargeable batteries, and no modifications needed.

Yes, you can have two in the remote and change them out if or when they go flat, two minute job and you can use the remote again , with this you have to find a power bank or if you do not have one you have to plug it into an outlet and wait for it to charge . Dumbest idea ever

Wow that genius idea didn't came 2 my mind 😂

With a charging port*. I install rechargeable batteries in tons of things; I just leave the charger on my desk.

In some languages rechargeable batteries are not called "batteries" e.g. some use word like "accumulator". In Polish, for example, for "battery" we call the one that is not rechargeable.

Rechargeable alkaline has 1.5V & high capacity, but need expensive charger. No of times recharge also much less.

I've never had much luck with them 30 years ago. I'm sure they're not any better now

@max marrero A remote uses only 5-10mA current and that too only when buttons are pressed. So, a typical alkaline battery in a TV remote will last 2 years easily

None of the replacement batteries ever seem to last as long as the funky Japanese or Chinese batteries that come with the device! Kinda makes you wonder 🤔 can't I just get a case of the funky ones??? They would probably out last me!! Lol 😆 🤣 😂

@@tomwyrick2824 All of my remotes last a long time with any batteries. I also use rechargeable nimhs in some, no modification necessary..

it certainly can be done, i installed a charge port in my old gameboy with a drill and dome cheap usb ports offline aswell as a lithium cell so i charge it just like a phone and the charge lasts weeks of game play before recharge. just gotta findout what the device requires for power and replace with literally any type of rechargeable u want that will physically fit! :) its a fun project for sure and veeeery inexpensive.

Nice. But difficult to make it and maintain it .New idea i get from you. Thanks Bro.

Buy them some rechargeable batteries and a charger. Problem solved.

Its not that hard to learn. For 99% of toys/gadgets, one lithium battery will work instead of 2 AA batteries. Remember they have to work at wide ranges of voltages anyway - a fully charged alkaline AA is 1.5 volts, near death around 1.2 volts. A rechargeable AA is 1.2 volts full, around 1 volt when nearly dead. A lithium is around 4v charged 3.6v dead, so you are putting 4v into something that is designed for 3v with a tolerance of 1v - so most of the time you will just get toy car motors spinning a bit faster etc.

Normally toys actually _don't_ come with batteries; if they need any you have to buy them separately.

Applies to remotes and dinosaurs 😉🤣🤣

Like how often do you change remote batteries... once per year? They discharge naturally faster than the remote discharges them. Fitting a small solar panel (like on a solar powered calculator) to keep the battery floating would have been a better idea. Then you would never need to open the battery compartment ever again!

its not aboutsolving a problem tho, its about creating one😁

Your actually right over time there's a little chip in there that will heat up and it'll stop working all together and then you'll weigh the options that it was better just to switch out the batteries then to destroy the remote all together. Been there you have to put in one of those little things they called resistors I think in order for it not to destroy the remote

I think the remote consumes 0.01 amp by pressing the buttons not 0.1 amp. So the resistor should be 150 ohms.

@@AiantasD If its 0.01A, then 150ohms is okay. The wires, switch, terminals also have resistances

Oh ya and watch out for the pervert electron .he goes around blowing all the fuses.🤪😜😎

A 1s lipo is running at a max of 4.2v fully charged. So You're running at a max of 1.2v over. I highly doubt it's going to hurt anything. It might prematurely kill the electronics, but honestly, I doubt it. Electronics are usually rated at a couple volt give or take, so it'll work while the batteries are draining. I think this is a pretty good idea. I would just make it cleaner, and drill a hole in the bottom and hide everything.

140% of design voltage assuming the design calls for 2 alkaline batteries @ 1.5v each in series.

3.7 watch again. 7 tenths of a volt more won’t hurt it.

@@vsmichael1 yeah, but 3.7v lipo fully charged is around 4.2-4.3v

@@vsmichael1 but still, I'm with ya lol

Yes, but it's not a "remote control" battery.

"Already... already"? Oops.

I can't see the point, AA/AAA nimh batteries are already inherently a suitable voltage, and readily available including high quality ones like eneloop. The extra bit of charge lithium can hold is pretty meaningless for something that uses a tiny amount of power like most remotes.
