They don't, both batteries are new &amp; pushing out 1.57v. I have left them out of the remote overnight to see if that would reboot the remote in some way - no difference.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Is there a secret 'menu' on the remote to kill this error, or is it time to toss the remote in the bin and get a new one?</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="sky remorte failed battery.jpg" style="width: 999px;"><img src="https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/104361iE715815389C07EDA/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="sky remorte failed battery.jpg" alt="sky remorte failed battery.jpg" /></span></P> Sun, 06 Oct 2024 14:21:56 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky/Sky-remote-failed-battery-warning/m-p/4779597#M152619 StephenSky 2024-10-06T14:21:56Z https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky/Sky-remote-failed-battery-warning/m-p/4779604#M152620 <P>Have you rebooted the Sky box?????</P> Sun, 06 Oct 2024 14:30:46 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky/Sky-remote-failed-battery-warning/m-p/4779604#M152620 Annie+UK 2024-10-06T14:30:46Z https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky/Sky-remote-failed-battery-warning/m-p/4779605#M152621 <P>Have you tried new batteries - perhaps from a different batch? They're cheaper than a new remote! The nominal battery voltage is a bit misleading. Better to check the output voltage when the batteries are under load.</P> Sun, 06 Oct 2024 14:32:54 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky/Sky-remote-failed-battery-warning/m-p/4779605#M152621 Mark39 2024-10-06T14:32:54Z https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky/Sky-remote-failed-battery-warning/m-p/4779608#M152622 <P>I should have said, yes, a box reboot made no difference, and even though I've been testing batteries for many decades with a trusty multimeter, yes, I did try some new Duracells as well as Panasonic, all measured in excess of 1.5v, both gave same screen fault message...</P> Sun, 06 Oct 2024 14:37:40 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky/Sky-remote-failed-battery-warning/m-p/4779608#M152622 StephenSky 2024-10-06T14:37:40Z https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky/Sky-remote-failed-battery-warning/m-p/4780331#M152639 <P>Problem solved.
