Believe it or not, this actually works! I'm pretty sure we go through a Costco-sized flat of batteries every couple weeks. Bryce has a need to play Wii every day, and Henry is now very good at it as well. Add to that the times we play together as a family at night, and we are going through AA batteries like a kids goes through his Halloween candy the next morning! Unfortunately, this morning we made the crucial error of running out of AA's before I bought a new package. This is not acceptable. To anyone else maybe, but to Bryce it is a bitter loss, worthy of great tears. Especially on a Saturday when he has time to actually play. I remembered seeing this pinned a while back and thought I would try it. Sure enough, it works great! I know a small battery like a AAA won't last long in the remote, but it WILL get me through Charlie's nap, after which we will making a run to the store! NOTE: The picture is wrong, the description is correct. Put the foil on the positive side of the battery posts. In the picture, it's on the negative side.
