Are lithium or alkaline batteries better for TV remotes?
Choosing between lithium or alkaline batteries for your tv remote comes down to cost and quality. Lithium batteries tend to last longer than conventional alkaline batteries and carry a more expensive price tag. Many alkaline options provide above-average performance which rivals lithium batteries. If you’re looking for the absolute longest-lasting, highest-performing battery, lithium remains king. For more conventional solutions, many alkaline batteries can provide sufficient use at a much cheaper price.
What kind of batteries do TV remotes take?
Depending on the size, TV remotes take either AA or AAA batteries. Satellite or cable TV remotes are often bigger and require the additional power AA batteries provide. TV sticks such as Roku or Amazon Fire have smaller remotes, which are sufficiently powered using AAA batteries. If you purchase a new TV remote it will often come with off-brand, low lifespan batteries that quickly wear out.
