Also it is VERY IMPORTANT to note, the Beo6 does not charge very well when connected to the USB on th PC. Make sure it is fully charged before to connect it to the PC.
I would say this is the major issue with Beo 5/6: powering. If your remote battery is fine, which will be rare nowadays, no problem. But if it is weak or old, whatever you do will be complicated and useless. I own a lot of these remotes and pretend" to know how to use and program them. The problem is just  that their battery management is so mysterious they dont work for more the a couple of seconds. AFAIK, no answer was given anywhere on that matter. Sad to say but to me Beo 5/6 are dead.

I have both Beo5 and Beo6 and once they are prog=rammed they have been working well. I put new batteries in about 18months ago and they seem to be working just fine.

I turn off the WiFi on the Beo6 as I don't have any compatible B&O equipment. I think that helps with battery life.

It is worth perservering Sataffan, as long as your battery is not almost dead.

I Stobbie,

Could you tell us where you get your batteries? Unfortunately all, I've tried an various Beo6 led me to no charging or very short (few seconds) battery lifetime. Even after reprogramming and with wifi turned off. So far I suspect a problem with the thermistor or worse with some weak component on the power circuit on the remote side but really I don't know. And I also doubt all my four Beo6 would have the same defect.

Thanks.

Hi Matador,

I bought one battery through the local B&O dealer here in Exeter, and one from a chap on the old Beoworld site who made them up.

I think it would have been around 2019/2020

Thanks
