I don't know how safe this would be! One thing I will say is TRY CLEANING YOUR SOLDERING IRON OCCASIONALLY!! The tip should be bright and shiny and you should 'tin' the tip, that is, apply some solder to the tip, before soldering the joints, to ensure good heat transfer. Then the solder will flow much better and not 'ball' up.
Better still, use NIMH batteries, which have the exact shape of batteries and can be recharged hundreds of times WITHOUT having to do all that work!!.... PS: for future work on electronic circuits and components, I recommend that to change the soldering iron (for a much finer one!) and practice soldering for longer! ....
True, although you've just gained some knowledge and could use this idea on other devices instead. You could rig other devices the same way. In my case I have kids, so i'll take the most battery hungry toy that gets used a lot and rig it up this way to avoid having to buy AA/AAA batteries. Toy car stopped working son? Daddy will fix it for you! plugs it in, works again. Happy kid + wallet doesn't get raped for battery money = happy Dad
It's an excellent idea. Here in Brazil, cheap batteries don't last long, and good batteries are a little expensive. I also do this here, but I place a diode in series with the positive wire to reduce the voltage to 3V, as the lithium battery is usually 3.7V. Thanks for the video.
You are a wise person, you would be very foolish if you follow this nonsense destroying the back of the remote control and a power bank its penny wise and pound foolish to follow his instructions because it still using a mini capacitor type battery.
This is a beautiful idea I will never try, imagine destroying a whole power bank and buy another 3.5v battery just to work a remote, my question is, how much is the battery itself that I'll have to go through all those stress? 😂
Maybe nobody told you.. but there are rechargeable AA and AAA batteries in every store. Also good non rechargeable batteries lasts for more than 5 years. It actually costs less to replace batteries for the entire lifetime of the remote... than making this "hack".
Just buy a pack of rechargeable AAA batteries. Because my home phone takes AAA batteries so I just keep changing out the batteries when they go dead. So all I have to do when they go dead is change out the batteries in my home phone and charge them back up
I don't know if your incredibly cheap, smart or intervative, but you got us all tuned in... Keep up the good work, because if you can do it there is no reason this can't be the future or remote control technology... Personally I purchased rechargeable batteries for all my remotes & solved this...#GreatVid...🎥🎬🎥
But, like all mini-liths, it will need to be changed occasionally, which will not be convenient, especially if your soldiering iron is as crappy as the one the guy in this video is using.
As suggested, why not replace with rechargeable batteries? You still have to recharge that 3volt battery. However, if you're trying to recharge your batteries without the house current, you can get those rechargeable yard lights that use solar power to recharge the batteries.
Dennis I thought he knows what's he's doing but he takes littery minutes staring at the items dumps the batteries and what does he do disgraced it for the batteries, and battle to solder it on. Oh no, I don't think I want to go to such a pro. No offence, but it took a looking time to finish it. 😮
really a genius !! don't you know there are rechargeable AA or AAA batteries in the supermarket ?? even though the voltage is a little bit lower than non rechargeable batteries, the remote can still function without any problem, why need to do something like that ?
The idea is sound, but, you need to learn some Basic Electronics Skills. The Pliers you use are more suited to working on Mains Power gear. Heat the joint, THEN apply the Solder. A Big Blob of Solder is useless. You will end up with Dry Joints. You get the Idea. The Correct Tools are essential. A better idea would be to make room for a set of USB RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES. You can purchase a Set of Three AAA Batteries with a USB Port Wired in for a low price. Wire it so the USB Port is attached to the Outside of the Control. A simple matter to Recharge when required Best of luck. I like to see people trying new methods
It would be easier to buy 4 rechargeable batteries and swap them. That 3.7 v rechargeable will not hold a charger as long as 2 of its larger sized 1.5v cousins.
Obviously, this video is not for you guys who come from countries where remote controls are ordered off Amazon or rechargeable batteries are available at the bodega. Good job bro. Don't let these haters get in your way,
Except what country has the lithium power bank plus the mini lithium “tv battery?” Buying those would be more expensive than just replacing the batteries.
Wow, soviel Arbeit um Batterien, die ca. 1 Euro kosten und ca.4-5 Jahre funktionieren, zu sparen. Man das rentiert sich ja in ca. 150 Jahren. Super...........bescheuert.
Not a problem at all! I have replaced all my remotes with E-Cig Lithium batteries. Haven't had to charge a battery in over 3 years so far. I molded the plug into the battery door of the remote so you don't have to take the door off to charge it. Works awesome!👍💯
That was a waste of 8 minutes in my life that I won't get back. I'll stick with replacing the batteries, I think I've changed mine once in the last 2 and a half years or longer even. But on a more positive note, this is a good way for someone who wants to learn about fixing electronics to try, It will help to develop their soldering and analysing skills. So for that well done.
Ill stick to my removable Energizer rechargeable batteries , 😅so hubby doesn't RIP the plug out of the controller when he forgets it is connected to the charger like he does his phone. But good start
what is the purpose of using a power bank? the purpose of a power bank is for device that running out power quickly you added another dependency complexity to a simple working device, and you didn't have a backups device for a replacement, if something went wrong when working on it. I would not take the risk, if I were you
In the head lines, it is mentioned as if no battery is required for the remote.But a battery is how ever, used.Moreover, a lot of time waste to do this work.When a lot of batteries are available, where is the necessity for this!?
Great idea needs a little tweaking but the concept is there. The battery needs to be mounted off or need something to stop it , touching pcb, plastic mount, or something, I'm very surprised these are not already on the market, well may already be I haven't looked lol 👍
Now instead of changing batteries once in a while. You get to change charging ports, and the battery. We all know how cheap those charging ports are, I have had ports go out a lot more then dead batteries. Just stating the facts. Fun to watch.
Thanx for the vid, but...I'll just keep on spending $1.25 (from Dollar Tree) for 6 batteries once every 18-24 months. Cheaper than replacing the remote that I'll probably tear up..
Bad Idea! This is a lipo battery and meant to be charged and used right away and returned to storage voltage of 3.8v when not using. Lipo's should never be fully charged and just left that way. Will degrade and damage battery over time. More likely to swell and explode if left fully charged . Better idea would be to just put a usb plug on it and plug it into a 5 v adapter with a Buck Step-down Power Converter Module and dial in the correct voltage. Down side would be having to plug in, but you would'nt need batteries
Oh dear, remote is dead. That’s ok, give it 30 mins and it will be charged. But of course, if I had left it alone I could have replaced them in 30 seconds. And I wouldn’t have buggered it by upping the voltage from 3.0v to 3.7v 😅😅😅
I just subscribed and i see the point of the haters but you done a cool project! I see that you have other videos of great content. I cant wait to watch them! 👍
Why you involved in this problem? ? You go and buy new remote esselly. New remote price is not expensive? But I appreciate you maked good video with new idea...thanks ..
The problem here is the normal batteries lasts for long time according to usage. But the recharge batteries will be discharged quickly or may stop working if we don't charge it on regular intervals.
ça fait plus 30 ans que j'ai remplacé les piles pas des accus rechargeables ds tous mes appareils y copris ds les télécommandes de TV ,vidéo et autres idem a l'époque ds mon walkman, même ds la souris de l'ordi j'ai un accu R6, pour les télécommandes c des accu s de récup sur de vieux tels sans fil résidenciels (R3).et elle tiennes pratiquement 10 mois.

I will never get the time back wasted watching this
Interesting concept and a good DIY but i think its easier just popping in 2 rechargeable battery.
Exactly what I was thinking while watching this.
@ 4:27, it also uses a Battery 3.7V. You just changed the type of Battery. It still needs a Battery to work.
The point is one is not buying batteries anymore, or for a long while than normal.
Just use rechargeable aaa👍😎 less work especially when you have many remotes!
The batteries in my remotes last so long, I forget they even exist. Looks like a solution without a problem.

THIS PROJECT DO NOT DESERVE THIS WORK AND TIME BECAUSE THE PRICE OF BATTERIES ARE CHEAP AND THE LIFE OF BATTERIES ARE LONG .

Easy changeable AA or AAA batteries is still better than internal chargeable battery. The chargeable battery is a pain if you need to change it.
Eso no vale la pena las baterías sin super baratas y duraderas además no hay que están conectando ni nada por el estilo
Rechargables would be a better alternative, and a hell of a lot less work.

"Energizer Lithium" best decision for remotes. Live long and not leak.

Cannot believe i actually sat here and watched this madness.🤔🤨 Rechargable batteries are easier.😉
To check the transmitter work in front of remote, face your cell camera to remote and press button, you will see a white light beaming from remote

so you will destroy one decent powerbank just to convert one standard remote control to a rechargeable one? isn't it cheaper to buy batteries?
$2 for a pack of 4 batteries, that will last 2 years in a remote control

The only problem is, now when I use my remote control, I get planes trying to land in my back garden!
Why did'nt you replace the regular2 AA batteries with 2 rechargeable 2 AA batteries ?
Exactly it would be the same if you get some rechargeable battery without destroying the remote it's like jumping over a gate that's already open😂😂
