Tired of running to the store every time your batteries die? Same here—until I found a simple DIY hack that transformed my remotes into rechargeable gadgets. It’s affordable, eco-friendly, and genuinely satisfying to build.

The battery problem: Ever settled in to watch a movie, only for the remote to stop working? Between TVs, fans, and toys, batteries disappear fast—and quietly drain your budget.

The fix? Make your remote rechargeable.
You’ll need:

A small rechargeable battery (like a 3.7V 14500)
A USB charging module (TP4056)
A diode (e.g., 1N4007)
A bit of patience
Just solder the battery wires where the originals were, install a USB port on the back, and voilà—no more swapping batteries.

Feeling advanced? Add Bluetooth with an ESP32 and reprogram the board.
