Now, a wind-up remote control to end misery of dying batteries!

London, Dec 27 (ANI): Tired of searching your home for batteries after the remote control runs out of 'oil'? Well, then stop running, for a new eco-friendly wind-up device has come to town.

The makers of the handset say that thirty turns of the gadget's dial is enough to keep it powered for seven days.

The gadget, which costs 19.95 pounds, is on sale at ethicalsuperstore.com based in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear.

The device can be programmed to operate up to six devices at the same time, including cable or satellite boxes, TVs, DVD players and video recorders.

It works with a host of top brands including Samsung, Sony, Phillips and Panasonic, reports the Sun.

In an online review, one user said:"There is more than enough time to crank it up during ad breaks. It means you never have to run out of - or dispose of - batteries again."(ANI)
