How to turn off remote control low battery notifications? XH95

[JD----]

Hi, new member hoping for some help as title. I have an XH95 with the 611E bluetooth remote. I'm using rechargeable batteries (why do the instructions suggest I shouldn't?) and simply want to disable the low battery warning that is constantly delivered to BRAVIA notifications. I guess I need to disable notifications in the app that is sending the warnings - is anyone able to advise please? Thank you

Hi,

Rechargeable batteries have a lower voltage than standard batteries. This results in the battery alarm.

To my knowledge the alarm can't be switched off. So I would recommend to use standard batteries instead of rechargeable ones.

Cheers

Thank you; I'd actually not realised rechargeable batteries are of a different voltage! I guess I'll try regular alkalines next to see how they perform in comparison. Rechargeables operate the device just fine and it seems a shame to have to rely on disposable batteries to avoid hectoring - if anyone is able to advise how to disable the warnings, I'd still be interested to learn. Thanks

there's really no point in using rechargeable batteries in something that needs changing them once in 2 years. Unless you sit on you remote so something is always pressed.

So even if you find a way to disable this, it is still a bad idea from technical POV. Good alkaline will hold charge much better.

Thanks. If alkalines last two years, I'd have to be satisfied. 500mAh rechargeables last about six weeks (!) so I'm now trying 930mAh rechargeables and will see how alkalines manage after the 930s. I guess bluetooth/key illumination/microphone all contribute to relatively short life? All new to me, just wondered if I could circumvent the unnecessary mssgs from the OS.

@JD---- really appreciate the constant updates and creating the thread as I just learnt about the voltages too myself!

It'd also be really helpful if you mark the thread as solved so others can find the answer faster (in the future).

Hope the 930mAH's work out for you!
