I saw this charger and just had to have it, I had a different type of charger for the Wii remotes that had the small 3 plates on the back, and after One of them tore up from just trying to set it in the right place I wanted something better.
With this Induction Charger I Pretty Much Found what I was looking for.
One problem I had was getting the lights to stay constant and then show that the remotes were charged... well by my mistake I had the Charger sitting on an old dvd/vcr combo It was somehow causing interference with the panel being able to charge.
One of my remotes would give a constant quick red flashing light. It would no longer charge, I tried it on different parts of the panel and I would get the same result. So I read around and Saw that you can Replace the Batteries in the Charger Pack... I took apart the battery pack and the two batteries were AAA batteries apparently rechargeable. I acquired some Energizer AAA rechargeable batteries 850mah which just means once it's charged it will last longer. The batteries that come with the remote are around 500mah they charge faster than the remote that I replaced the batteries in but the other one will outlast the 3 original batteries never really an issue though.
the battery pack has to be attached to the Wii Remote to Work on the Charger too, I thought the batteries would not work at first because I was only trying to charge the pack, then just out of hope I put it on the Wii Remote and it charged... Hope this helps someone out, It beats purchasing a new charger :)

Works like a charm... with a battery replacement.

Ok. So I got the item. Looks like it was pretty well cared for. Minimal scratches. My packaging had a little dry rotting from age, but that's all. My only complaint? There was no specificity on color. My Wiimotes are black and the charging system came with white battery cases. These replace the stock black battery covers. However, a black rubber Wiimote grip case covers these, and white Wiimotes have clear cases, needing white packs... so complaint withdrawn.So here's the deal. It's a great system with sub-par batteries. Google the iFixit fix to replace the actual rechargeable batteries in the pack. When I got it, two packs would not charge. I learned of this issue in reviews and found the fix. I ordered better batteries right along with it and replaced them all outright.After doing that, thing of beauty! Clean, sleek design without fumbling with cables (except the pad power cable of course), crappy contacts, or taking the jackets off. Why would they stop making these!!!!
