Firestick Remote Batteries

[Dar1437]

Why do the batteries run down so quick, even though i hardly use it?

Only 2 quid just get some new ones.

I want to know why :)
I use my TV and Zgemma remotes every day, and they hardly ever need changing.

Someone just informed me that it used Bluetooth instead of IR?

it has voice on it that cant go over IR

There's always this (if you don't use the mic)

And a USB keyboard/ air mouse. :)

il stick with the standard. i don't use any sided loaded apps where i need a mouse

 

[Dar1437]

I suppose there's always MouseToggle, if you did ever need it. :)

If it's got a voice on it why don't you ask it why the batteries don't last

 

[siilver]

I have never noticed a battery problem. Maybe not using it enough

I'm still on the same batteries from when I bought it at Christmas and it is used everyday,now bragging about it will cause me to have to replace them

 

[siilver]

Sure get a usb cable. Cut the device end off
Wire up the red and black to the first and last point and you’ll never run out of power, well until you don’t pay your bill lol

Just rub batteries together then awap them round brings them back to life!! So I've been told

I actually tried asking Alexa yesterday, but she didn't know. :)

Maybe my pack of 10 for a £1 had something to do with it? Lol

Cheeky cow bet she knows how to order them for you though! Typical woman. Takes the easy route!

I have 5 firetv products and have never had battery issues, other then expected life. Firestick tells you battery percentage on screen when they start to get weak. I have a buzz box with a bluetooth remote that burns thru batterys bi-weekly.

issue with amazon fire remote batteries is often poor connection not flat battery. the positive pimple on many batteries is virtually non existent on some makes and the contact in the battery holder is set up inside the plastic surround. New batteries manage to jump the power gap but the arcing effect eventually takes its toll.

 

[superdark024]

same here, no matter what brand of batteries i use, runs out very quickly

 

[channelking]

Thats weak thing about firestick how fast batteries drain.

Dont even use it alot but have to change batteries every 1-2 weeks at least. Proper p*ss take.

Have enough batteries though to last few years though

Which remote is it there is 3 for firesticks and several others for TV edition and sound bars. I have had battery's not sitting well in the spring loaded terminals were the batterys are beside each other. Think its first generation with alexa.
