Can I replace the battery on my Apple remote. It will not recharge.

The remote which came with my Apple tv will no longer re-charge. Can I replace the battery or do I need to purchase a new remote?

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 16

Your profile indicates you have the Apple TV 4K. If that’s the case then your remote has a rechargeable battery that is not user replaceable. The cost to replace it would likely be close to the cost of a new one so…


But have you tried a different cable and/or a different charging unit? Have you taken a look at the charging port on the remote and looked for an obstruction like a pice of dirt or lint in there? Maybe try using a can of air and blowing out the port?
