4.0 out of 5 stars Almost perfect, October 26, 2007

By	El Geraldo (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

I got the Nyko twin pack battery/charger plus one extra battery, since we have 3 kids and 3 Wii remotes.

Pros:

* Charging dock has built-in AC supply, so no clunky wall wart adapter to find a home for - just plug the dock into a convenient AC socket.
* Dock doesn't get warm (either while or while not charging batteries) which is unusual for cheap consumer electronic devices.
* Battery and cover are a perfect fit into the Wii remote.
* Comes with NiMH batteries (rather than the cheaper NiCd) so they should last a long time despite not being given 'good charging etiquette'.
* Looks like the designer put a proper charging circuit in, since the LEDs on the front go blue for 'charging' and green for 'finished'. I hate it when batteries are left roasting indefinitely.

Cons:

* Would have been nice if the supplied battery covers were of a different color - helps kids to know which are remotes 1, 2 and 3 before grabbing them. This is a constant source of squabbling in our house. There is a pecking order to who gets controller #1.
* There is no slot on the dock for the Wii remote strap to exit. You have to hold it awkwardly to the side while clicking the remote into the dock. This makes the charging contacts only just make contact. Any slight move and the remote stops charging. Tweeny kids are not very good at doing this.

2.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't last!, April 13, 2008

By	Nathalie Barnes-fichter (Miami, Florida USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

I purchased the Nyko charger and an extra battery kit and in the beginning it was great!! It saved us alot of money on disposable batteries and we had no complaints at all. Unfortunately, after only 3 months two of the rechargeable batteries stopped working. I wrote to Nyko to ask them if this was a normal occurrance or if I could purchase replacement batteries but I never received a response. I find that a 3 month life span is a bit short for the price that we paid and the lack of customer service is offensive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for the Nyko Charger Set, September 18, 2007

By	A. Lee (Oakland, California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This way you don't have to get another entire Nyko charger set. I'm not sure how long the rechargeable batteries last but i'm sure they eventually run out of juice. At $6.99 each you can't go wrong. I may even get some extras. Only bad thing is you cannot choose the color on the backing! I purchased one on 9/12/07 and rec'd a turquoise one.
