AAA batteries are 1.5v DC, TV circuitry is designed to run off of 120v AC. The first device the power cord on a TV connects to is a transformer with takes the 120vAC and converts it to several different AC & DC voltages. 1.5v DC simply cannot carry the current required to even fire the tubes on the CRT TV shown in the video.
I call BS… This will not work.
Please elaborate.. I'm thinking about giving it a try.
Oh I don’t know…. how about the fact that TVs run on 110ac and a 1.5v DC battery won’t do a thing. Make this right and remove this blog post.
TV is AC, Battery is DC.
