A standard Sky Q remote takes 2 x AAA batteries.

All Sky Q remotes take standard AAA batteries @Jenny+Baker+Auste 

Insert the negative (-) end first then the positive end.

@Jenny+Baker+AusteBy do not fit, do you mean will not work or won't go in. Some batteries usually cheap ones have insulation that wraps round the -ve end of the battery a bit this prevents the -ve making contact. I have had no problems with Duracell batteries fitting or working.
