It's a bit ridiculous to suggest changing the batteries in your TV remote once per year. You change them when they no longer work. Don't leave batteries long-term in devices you don't regularly use.

You’d be surprised how much a difference fresh batteries makes in a TV remote, at least with the regular infrared kind. There’s like months of KINDA being able to change the channel, IF you press the button 3 times and hold the remote up high, that’s actually low-battery-related. the IR receivers are sensitive enough to use reflections off walls and stuff when the remote battery is strong 💪🔋

Where did they say TV batteries? Oh, they didn't.

This is s generally tip, for stuff not used frequently. Granted, not really a lpt.

It says older remotes, what does that mean if not TV remotes?

There's countless remotes besides tvs.

Raio, fan, ac, heat, humidifier, dehumidifier, air filter, garage door, alarms, windows, doors, shade screens, gates, etc.
