Charge the Apple TV 4K remote

The remote that comes with your Apple TV 4K 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 remote while it’s charging.

Depending on the model of your remote, you’ll need to charge it with either a USB-C cable or a Lightning cable (sold separately).

  1. Connect one end of a USB-C or Lightning cable to the port on the bottom of your remote.

  2. Connect the other end of the cable to a computer USB-C or USB port or to an Apple USB-C or USB power adapter (sold separately).
