Reviving a remote battery is simple. Open the battery compartment. Remove the old batteries and inspect for corrosion or residue. Clean the contacts with a small amount of vinegar or lemon juice on a cotton swab. Ensure the contacts are dry before inserting fresh batteries. Always use the correct battery type specified by the manufacturer. If the remote still doesn’t work, the issue may lie with the remote itself, not the batteries.
