5.0 out of 5 stars Great WiiMote Charger, May 13, 2009

I purchased this charging base because it is the only one I found currently available that will work with the silicone sleeve and Wii Motion Plus installed. I was a little nervous when I first received it due to its light weight and somewhat flimsy feel. The charger has worked wonderfully however. The batteries were initially charged very quickly (within a couple of hours), and the WiiMotes have worked great for hours and hours of play. The flashing blue light upon a full charge is somewhat annoying, but can be easily fixed by pushing the power button on the unit off, or simply placing the WiiMotes elsewhere. A small piece of translucent tape over each light would probably also make the lights less bright and annoying. Have used for about a month. Overall a great product.

i'd been looking and looking for a Wiimote recharger that you didn't have to remove the jacket to use, and this is it! NO physical contacts needed. it's literally as easy as putting the Wiimote down, even with a MotionPlus attached so that it doesn't fit exactly on the base


a hidden advantage -- the charge packs included weigh much less than two AAs or other rechargeable packs i've used. this makes the Wiimote noticeably lighter and better-balanced


a hidden problem -- the jackets MUST be clear. there's a tiny light in the charge pack, and if the charger can't "see" the light, it won't charge. in other words, i can't use my black silicon Wiimote skin, or the very cool Nerf jacket, or anything else that blocks light. that's a small price to pay for the rest of the convenience, though, and i think just cutting a tiny hole in the black skin will allow charging

the new packs charged in less than 2 hours. i have not yet tested the full life of a charge, but after a couple of hours of play the battery level still showed full. so far so good

pic here: [...]
note blue glow under Wiimote. that must be "seen" through whatever jacket you're using

I had high hopes for the charger and purchased it because of the ease of charging. However, only half of the charging ports worked and one became so hot that it melted the plastic on the battery case as well as the charger itself. The battery pack would lose the connection to the wii remote if you squeezed it with any sort of pressure. So, during the middle of playing a game, the wii would stop the game to establish the connection again. I usually don't write reviews, but I wanted to warn people to avoid this charger.
