How do we know that when the battery is fully charged?

Great concept for any device that uses 3-4 V, add the longest capacity (mAh) lithium flat possible with a charge protection circuit (like in device he dismantled) and USB recharge very convenient. I've been using rechargeable NiMH Batts for years in some products (headphones, smart deadbolts, flashlights, etc), last almost as long as alkaline (most devices), less likely to leak. (Panasonic Eneloop #1) But they only max out 1.3-1.4 V freshly charged), not enuff V for some products, either to work properly or show accurate %charge left. Lithium rechargeables provide full 1.5+ V , last moderate duration, then nothing (per design, protect lithium cells), but still $$$ and higher failure rate.

At first sight, one might think that the idea is of the same caliber as replacing the television with a large exterior window, but in fact, no! It can be a kind of training challenge because there are already rechargeable batteries! When you install wireless charging on the remote control and wireless charger on a side (or bedside) table, I definitely give you a thumbs up !

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.

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.

I performed this exact mod on my automatic lid opening (and closing) garbage can. I bought ten USB to 3.7v charging boards for like $2 and used an old cell phone battery. It worked great and eventually I installed outlets with USB ports so I removed the battery since it was plugged in all the time. That worked really well also since the lid was now slightly overvolted (like a really fun power wheels car). Then about three years later we lost power for longer than a couple minutes. I was surprised at all the garbage piled up after the power was finally restored. You don't really realize how often your trash can kid opens and closes until it quits. I thought about refactoring the battery but I figure i can simply throw the trash out of the window or in the fireplace depending on the season when this happens again.

Lithium batteries have a charge and discharge amperage rating, and the charging circuitry is ideally matched so as not to exceed capacity and cause a fire. This video recommends substituting a charge circuit for a battery that is likely well over the capacity of the recommended battery being used (as no specifications were given for the original battery but it is obviously physically much larger).

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.

@@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.

I started using the magnetic connectors. Worked fine for a couple of months. One by one, my devices would no longer charge. I went back to plug in connectors with no issues.

That sounds pretty neat. Have you considered doing some videos showcasing this?

Such a great idea Not only in remotes but this can be used in many different things I'm gonna use this in college project Thanks brother 🔥♥️

This isn't college-project worthy. At least not at an engineering university in the US. In college, you'd be capturing the IR signals from the remote with an IR receiver connected to a microcontroller. You'll write some code to do different things depending on which button was pressed. This here is just replacing non-rechargeable batteries with a rechargeable battery.

Instead of damaging the remote and power bank both , go for chargeable battery. No sound in video 🤗 don't go for this. Waste of time

what is a power pank..? how to get it..?

Battery’s left the char

Pro tip: Test the circuit first before making it incredibly difficult to disassemble by gluing it all together. Or just use rechargable batteries and avoid this whole mess.

I agree with the rechargeable battery part ,I commented didn’t realize there was someone else who felt this way :)

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

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

I've wondered why I haven't seen rechargeable remotes for tv yet. Great video!

Probably because they're not really needed. Batteries in a television remote will last for a couple of years. But you know having one that runs sore or ambient light recharges itself continuously, it's not such a bad idea. Though I think this solution given here is a complicated solution to a simple problem of just replace the batteries once every year and a half or two.

would be quite sensible now that many lounge suites come with USB chargers built in. I was surprised when we bought a new lounge suite that with the electrics built in wasnt all that expensive, and there was quite a range available. if your remote was flat it would be no issue

OR,,, get an old snooker cue that’s long enough to reach your TV from your armchair 😮

Better to use a rechargeable vape pen for the parts

I dunno. I think I can handle replacing my batteries every few years. Hell, my batteries often outlast the devices the remote goes to.

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!
