Harmony remote batteries

The battery life in the Harmony remote will vary depending on usage. As your Harmony replaces all of the remotes in your home entertainment center, it is doing the work of multiple remotes which can drain batteries at a faster rate than a single device remote.

Harmony will retain all of your device and Activity information when replacing your batteries.

Harmony Express

The battery life in your Harmony remote will vary depending on usage. Since Harmony replaces all of your home entertainment center remotes, doing the work of multiple remotes, the batteries may drain at a faster rate than a remote which only controls a single device.

Warning

Removing your battery will damage your remote. The battery in your Harmony Express is rechargable and not replaceable. You should only remove your battery to properly dispose of it.

  1. Place a large flat-head screwdriver inside the USB port and twist to separate the bottom cover.
  2. Using a philips #0 screwdriver, remove the four screws from the plastic housing of the battery.
    • Do not try to separate the battery from the plastic housing.
  3. Disconnect the battery cable and remove battery from the remote.
  4. Replace the battery and snap the battery cover back on.
