Rechargeable Batteries vs. Traditional Batteries for Remotes

Remote controls are amazing things when they work. When their batteries go dead—not so much. Remote control owners can power their devices with rechargeable or disposable batteries. Knowing what applications each is best suited for will help remote owners make the best choice.

The key draw for rechargeable batteries is that you can use them for several battery lifetimes by recharging them when they run out of current. That’s good for the environment, as far too many disposable batteries end up in landfills, and because of the costs involved in making new batteries. It can also be cost-effective, as in some cases rechargeable batteries turn out to be less expensive in the long run than disposable batteries.

For devices that are occasionally used, disposables are the most cost-effective solution. For devices in regular use, like remotes or video game controls, rechargeable batteries are the best solution. Buy enough to rotate in your devices and the charger, and you’ll never be without power for your remote control device. When purchasing rechargeables, be sure to read the product literature to get an idea of how long the useful life of the rechargeable battery will be.
