Charge the Siri Remote
The Siri Remote has a rechargeable battery inside. With typical usage, you’ll need to charge it a few times a year. An alert appears on the TV screen when the remote battery is running low. You can also check the battery level in Settings.
Note: You can continue to use the Siri Remote while it’s charging.
