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
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! ....
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.
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? 😂
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.
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
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.
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.
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...🎥🎬🎥
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
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. 😮
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
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.
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.
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!?
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".
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 ?
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!👍💯
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
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.
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 👍
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.
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.
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.
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..
C'est une aberration, il suffisait de changer les anciennes batteries par des rechargeables ! D'ailleurs c'est ce que je fais pour toutes mes télécommandes.
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.
As i see it, a power bank circuit is calculated on 5V the battery replacement is 3.7V and two 1.5 batteries in series is 3V. The remote control circuit is calculated on 3V. So i forsee problems.
I would rather just continue to put my batteries in the charger once every year or two. High mAh rechargeable batteries last alot longer than a toy helicopter battery.
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 ..
😅 Para ficar melhor poderia usar um nobreak com uma bateria estacionária externa e algo que converta os 127 volts AC do nobreak na corrente CD necessária ao controle. Teria mais autonomia. O que acham da ideia?
