1.0 out of 5 stars NOT recommended, August 10, 2009

This review is from: CTA Digital Wii Remote Dual Charge Station with 2 Rechargeable Batteries (White) (Accessory)

I was excited to get a dual charger since we were going through regular batteries like crazy and I thought this was a great deal (as far as the price went).

The charger hooks up to a USB (either via wii or computer).

Wii remote has to be charged for 12 hours in order to take advantage of the full capacity. But this has to be done for first use only.

The light indicator lets u know if it's fully charged. Blue for fully charged. Red for charging.

I found this item rather inconvenient because the Wii system has to be on for the charger to work. It doesn't work if the wii is off.

If I had known this I would have purchased something else. It doesn't make any sense that the wii has to be on for it to charge. Who leaves their wii on all the time if they're not playing it?

I have read of other USB charging stations that charge without having the system on.

This is a great way to recharge your Wii remotes but be aware that the charger plugs into a computer port and not an electrical socket.

I bought this item when it was on sale for $7.00 That's about all it is worth. The rechargeable batteries take about 10 hours for a full charge, yet they only last a few hours of use. If the battery pack dies while you are playing, it's game over until they recharge.

I am going back to using Eneloop rechargeable AA cells. They last for much longer usage. I can have extras charged & ready when needed.

Skip this product. Buy some Eneloops or Rayovac 4.0 cells & a good charger like the LaCrosse. You will be much happier.
