THATS why you should put a piece of Aluminum Foil in the Remote Control 💥

[@jerryg50]

This is very dangerous if you cause a short with the foil. Not recommended. If the foil is not sitting correctly you can have a fire, and also damage your remote unit. I personally would run out to the local store and buy the proper batteries. I generally keep a supply of proper spare batteries on hand for all my devices.

WARNING! don't do this on the + terminal! The entire side of the battery is connected to the - terminal only the top part is +. If you by accident short the 2 terminals it might cause fire/exploding batteries (though since low voltage it doesn't have to) So for safety reasons only attach it to the - terminal!

[@jmartmac]

I'm glad to see someone else noticed the fatal flaw in this technique. If you have to do as shown, only shim the negative side. Some batteries have a metal outside case connected to negative that folds under only milimeters from the positive point.

Its not a good idea to mix battery sizes especially if the current load excedes the current rating of the AAA battery which is about 10mA, if this happens it could cause the battery to leak or explode

[@jetjet642]

You may have too replace the entire remote if you do this. Just easier buying a battery. It can short-out your remote. Not cool, unless only option in an emergency

[@JT-SE-OHIO]

I already knew that but did you know that cutting the foil up with your scissors will sharpen them. Before you throw the foil away after using it for cooking just fold it over several times and cut it up into 1/4 to 1/2" strips and your scissors will be super sharp.

Just put in larger springs and install them on the negative side so you can use the AAA batteries over the AA batteries. Or just buy some new AA batteries.

I never throw away batteries that "seem" like they have no charge...I take them out for a few days to "rest"... later I replace them back into the remote and they work again for an extended time...or sometimes I just have to "spin" the battery as it lays in the remote to reposition it. Also, when u are "storing/resting" your batteries, make sure the neg and pos posts are not touching each other. Also, I am one of those people who buy AA & AAA batteries at the dollar store.

One little problem. The smaller battery will discharge much sooner than the large one. The result is, you could get less "run" time out of the batteries than you would with two small batteries. Always best to have batteries balanced in size and freshness for max running. Use two small batteries is you have them.

My take away from this hack is if the batteries leak that it will not corrode the the contacts or ruin the inner circuitry of the remote. And a brilliant protective solution to prevent corrosion inside the battery compartment of other types of electronic divices.

Good Advice. I use what are called Battery shells ( adapters ) that allow you to use a AAA in a double slot and there are C and D shells that use a AA. Using a AAA or AA in a C or D shell makes a good bit lighter then a standard C or D would be as well.

WOW!!! Perfect for temporary use until you can purchase the correct battery.

[@Velodynamic]

Uhm...not "all batteries". It has to be the right voltage of the battery to work. In this case 1.2 - 1.5 volts. Even if the aluminium foil makes electrical contact to the + or - pole it will add a bit more resistant than usual for the smaller battery to push electrical current through hence it will not last as long as a new, correct sized AA battery. But as a temporary solution it is all fine and dandy.
