A:Answer Hi Vicki, Thank you for your interest in the Hisense 65U8N. The remote provided with the unit is what comes with the unit; however, it is not rechargeable and requires batteries. If you have any further questions or concerns, please give us a call at 1-888-935-8880 or email us at Service@Hisense-usa.com. Thanks again, Harley with the Hisense Support Team.
