1.0 out of 5 stars Caveat emptor: It's a Ni-MH, not Li-Ion as advertised., August 10, 2011

The Ni-MH batteries I got before died within a year of very infrequent usage.

So I was looking specifically for Li-Ion batteries.

Alas, I got Ni-MH ones again.

This battery charger console is a money-saver to keep from having to replace the batteries so often. You don't have to worry about the individual batteries getting lost or the kids taking the batteries and using on another item. The battery packs just clip on the back of the Wii controller, which is handy. We've only used this about a month, but it's been good so far.

3.0 out of 5 stars Seems to work but no instructions provided, February 10, 2009

I purchased two of these to charge our four Wii remotes. Installation was intuitively obvious but the product came with no instructions. Removing the remote cover to charge the batteries is inconvenient. Also, the remote is tricky to seat properly when the wrist strap is attached.

The description said that the lights indicate the charging status, but we're left to guess what that status is. It appears that the blue light indicates only power and that red is charging. But sometimes the light appears purple. Does that mean that the remote is not seated properly in the cradle? Or does the color of the light change back from red to blue when the remote is fully charged and purple indicates an 'almost ready' state? That might explain why only one of the chargers has red/purple lights and the other one remains blue.

It would also be helpful to know whether it is safe to keep the remotes plugged in even after they are fully charged.
