5 out of 5 stars Fantastic! Never need to worry about batteries again!   October 13, 2007
 82 out of 84 found this review helpful

This is a great Wii Charging Stand, which runs directly off the Wii console using a USB cable. It comes with two 1200mAH battery packs, one per wii remote. It takes about 2 hours to fully charge the remotes, and you can charge two remotes at a time in the simple docking station. The remotes fit very snugly, which can be irritating if you use Wii skins on your remotes (which need to be peeled back first, so that the remotes can be docked), but this is a minor inconvenience for the benefit of quick and efficient charging.

I find I get about 6 hours playtime out of each remote before it needs to be docked again. I recommend not "overcharging" the remotes past 2-3hours, because I've heard that for some people it has damaged the battery packs irretrievably, so leaving the remotes in overnight may not be a good idea.

When you "dock" the wii remote in the station, the LED should glow "red" while charging, and then turn to green/yellow when it has finished charging. This is especially useful if you have more than two remotes, as you can continuously rotate the remotes you're playing with (with friends etc) and the ones being charged, and ensure that everyone has a charged remote. I recommend this for Wii owners who want to save money on buying oodles of AA batteries. No more I say!



5 out of 5 stars So long, Rechargeable batteries!!   October 5, 2007

The Wii remote dual charging system is a very usefull little gadget, first of all you don't have to keep changing the batteries every time your Wii remote konks out, which means you have to either buy new batteries which i think is a waste of money, or keep using rechargeable batteries which is still very annoying!
Second of all theres two charging stations, me and my brother were always fighting over new batteries before i bought one of these nifty gadgets! now its great, we just slip our remotes into the charger atfer HE beats me at Wii bowling once again, and they're ready for us to use next time we want to play, and there's even a single docking station, for people who like to play wii on their own or over Wi-Fi! In my opinion, nintendo should have made wii remotes with a built in battery and a charger before they released wii and i actualy think they have just realised it now, but unfortunately its too late now!
Overall, i think this is one nifty little gadget, and no Wii-owning battery hater should be without one!!

This little gadget has saved me so much money, and it will do the same for you. Not only is it one of the cheapest chargers around, it is one of the best. The battery packs that come with the charger charge in about 1-2 hrs from empty. Also, the wii remotes are actually lighter than ones with batteries in them.
Well worth the purchase.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent Last Minute Buy   December 31, 2007
 10 out of 10 found this review helpful

I bought this at the last minute before Christmas to try and save on buying excessive numbers of batteries. Excellent decision. The batteries re-charge in less than an hour (making the point about leaving the Wii on during charging a little over-the-top) and they last well in excess of 4 hours. Ok it's not made or badged as an official 'Wii' accessory but so what, it does exactly what it says on the tin and for a very reasonable price. To avoid overcharging and potential damage to the remotes, simply turn off the console as soon as they are charged. Simple!

This item is really handy if you own a wii console, i bought one the other day and its great. it provides full charge for the wii remote in under an hour wich is handy if you want to get straight back to your game after a break. overall i would recomend this product to all Wii owners and if you dont own a Wii.... You must be mad!!! :-)
