Dual Charging Station w/ 2 Rechargeable Battery & LED light for Wii Remote Control, White
I thought I would try this for the wii as it was inexpensive, really surprised at the quality small compact and looks great, plugs into the back of the wii with the supplied cable, the battery’s are built into the new covers which are a excellent fit and have a small hole in them so you can sync your controls if need be, two supplied 2800mAh NiMH.
Remember to give them a good charge first time twelve hours at least, when you charge the lights on the docking station turn red and then blue once fully charged, for the price you can’t go wrong, as two packs of decent alkaline battery’s would nearly cost you the same.
Haven’t had it long enough for a longevity test, but I will follow the usual guideline with rechargeable battery’s, give them a good charge to start of with and run them flat, and another good charge and do that periodically.

Recieved the charger within a few days. The design and size is very comapct making it ideal when space is at a premiuim. The lights are great and when charging overnight my kids loved the lights on the base glowing. Have used a couple of times and works great, remember to leave the charger for min. 12 hours on 1st charge.
Only one small minus point, the Wii has to be on for remotes to charge. I would of prefered for them to charge on standby mode.
Overall very happy would of been 5 stars if the above mentioned was available.

Remotes do not store power for any length of time. You have to leave them permanently charging. If you take them off the charger for 30 minutes (to free up a USB port) then they lose all their power. Even when taken off charge and used straightaway the batteries do not last very long at all!
complete waste of money – luckily the price is low otherwise I would be more annoyed with this purchase. I would advise going for something else, but in the meantime I will be sticking with normal batteries

Fast delivery, and good packaging. The item is small and compact and sympathetically fits in well with the rest of the Wii equipment without taking up much room. The base light can be either on and illuminated or turned off, the charging does seem to be a little sparodic, I have had the items on charge, the colour indicator changes from red to blue to indicate fully charged. I have then removed the controller, not used it, and then placed it back in the cradle immediately afterwards and the lights have returned to red to charge. Because the item connects through a USB cable for power you can also connect via your computer to charge. However for the money it is really good value compared to other similar products on the market, however a small instruction pamphlet to be included would be a benefit for those people not necessarily aufait with equipment set-up, and to realise that the initial charge period for the batteries needs to be 12 hours. I only found this out from the reviews previously listed, this detail should be included from the supplier.
