  • What remains is no challenge for our Minnow Driver Kit.

  • The battery and charging port combo connects to the back of the main board via a ZIF connector, much the same as in the 4th generation remote control.

  • The power cell offers 1.52 Wh (398 mAh at 3.81 V), which is fractionally less than the 1.55 Wh (410 mAh) in the previous design iteration.

  • We’d hoped to find a slightly more user friendly method for two of the most likely repairs on this remote (charging port and battery).

  • The battery at least is likely to last longer than it would in a smartphone or tablet, since it won't go through charge cycles nearly as often. As long as it's not defective or subjected to uncomfortable temperatures, you should get at least a few years out of it.
