At Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2023, another innovation has been unveiled and this time it’s a TV remote with forever running battery. TW Electronics introduced the remote for Google TV.
The remote is backed by technology that allows it to self-charge with the light.
The innovative remote could end the pain of remotes suddenly halting to work due to batteries running out of juice. Especially, when a pair of batteries is not immediately available, the irritation gets worse. Although there are universal remotes available for smartphones, they are no guarantee that they work for all. But a remote that works ‘without batteries’ in a traditional sense is a major leap in itself.

TW Electronics Launched the Self-Charging Remote for Google TV
The said remote manufactured by TW Electronics is catered for Google TV. It uses a regular remote layout as the Google TV remote with the charging mechanism being its distinguisher.
“Excited to announce the launch of a self-charging, battery-free #remotecontrol powered by indoor light. Developed with #Exeger, the device is #GoogleTV ready and easily integrated into your existing system. Get in touch with us for more details,” the company said in a tweet.
The remote gets a photovoltaic panel enabling it to self-charge using indoor light. The panel for the innovative remote is provided by Exeger, a Swedish solar cell maker.
Interestingly, it’s not the first time ever. Samsung already has its own self-charging remote for Google TV as well.
