I tried that with a dead battery once before. Once it was totally frozen, and then thawed, and then dried, it only ran for about a minute. It would have been cheaper to just go buy another batterie instead of useing the electricity to freeze it.:p

Shinta,

Next time the remote's batteries "die", try smacking the thing on your armrest. Usually mild corrosion at the battery contact causes the remote to stop working.

PS: Next time it stops, throw it against a brick wall. If that doesn't fix it, you'll probably need a new remote. :D

I actually watched a guy once recharging D cells with a car battery and a long screw driver. I told him he was nuts and found out later he was. ;)
