Vizio remote batteries
Most documented Vizio TV remotes take two AAA cells — but confirm the printed remote model (XRT…) on the back or inside the door before buying. Do not assume a soundbar remote matches your TV remote.
Which generation do you have?
| Generation / model | Battery | Replaceable? | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vizio XRT136 | 2 × AAA | Yes | Vizio support lists Battery Type AAA · Qty 2 for XRT136. |
| Vizio XRT290 (Bluetooth) | 2 × AAA | Yes | Vizio support lists AAA · Qty 2. Pairing issues are separate from the cell type. |
| Other Vizio XRT TV remotes | Usually 2 × AAA — confirm on the label | Yes | Vizio’s remote information sheets for XRT112, XRT500 and many voice remotes also list 2× AAA. Still verify the printed model on your unit. |
| Unsure / no model print | Open the door — read the tray | Yes | If you cannot find an XRT number, use the tray print or Vizio’s support remote lookup — do not guess from a neighbour’s remote. |

Still not working?
Fit fresh AAA only after the tray or Vizio sheet confirms them. If the remote is still dead, a current Vizio replacement remote for your TV model is the next step — battery type first, replacement second.
