Product Description

Easily charge and store your Wii Remotes with Nyko’s Charge Station for Wii. The Charge Station includes 2 NiMH batteries, exclusively designed for the Wii Remote, each providing up to 25 hours of play time. Each battery is easily recharged by placing the Wii Remote in the charging dock. The charging dock conveniently plugs into any standard wall outlet, allowing for rapid recharging of both batteries in 8 hours. The Charge Station includes 2 custom battery covers with contact pass-through points so you can charge the batteries while they are still in the remote. Each battery cover is also rubberized for superior grip during intense gaming sessions. The Charge Station matches the décor and styling of the Wii, and is small enough to fit in any home entertainment center.

It can be difficult to get the remotes seated in the charge station but it isn't as difficult as some might say. I have two daughters, six and nine, and it only took them a couple of tries before they learned how to get the remotes seated correctly. The light on the charger just below the remote provides instant feedback as to whether or not the remote is correctly seated and charging. Just wiggle the remote until it lights up.

This is not a "platinum" piece of hardware but it works just fine. I have friends who have bought other chargers, including the charge pad, and I found those to be more problematic.

I've had my current charge station for almost one year and am preparing to buy a second one to charge my other two remotes. The first charge station still works just fine.

This charger seems to work well, you just have to remove the remote jackets in order for the wiimotes to fit into the charge station. The lights on the front of the charger indicate when they are charging and change color when the batteries are fully charged. This product is a nice addition to my black Wii and Wii Remote Plus controllers.

For any Wii gamers out there, a charging station is a necessity since lets face it, AAs become expensive after a while. While this charger is fast, the power cells aren't as long lasting as the manual claims. However, it is still a life saver for Wii gamers and a good addition to the set up.
