5 out of 5 stars Essential for wiimoting   November 6, 2007
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

The rechargable battery is great because you needent keep dumping money on aa's but the real star of the show is the rubberised back which gives you a far greater grip on the slippery when sweaty wiimote.

PROBLEM SOLVED-you needent even use the strap with a rubberised battery cover.



5 out of 5 stars battery packs work great   November 6, 2007

Battery packs work great, recharge quickly with nyko charging base. I play wii approx. 3-5 hours per week and have only had to recharge the batteries once over a 2 month period. I would recommend this product.


4 out of 5 stars Almost perfect   October 26, 2007

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.



4 out of 5 stars Great Buy   October 18, 2007

I was tired of having to use batteries in my Wii controllers. I have four controllers and two of them had rechargeable batteries from the charging station Wii Charge Station. So i purchased two more from amazon. The grips are great and the battery life is long. My only complaint is that one came in gray (which i wanted) and the other came in blue. I wish i knew ahead of time that they would ship different colors. It would be nice if we could select which color we wanted.


5 out of 5 stars Awesome Investment   October 12, 2007

I would just like to say that for all of you Nintendo Wii owners out there these rechargeable battery packs are a worthwhile investment. My fiancee and I were buying the rechargeable batteries but it was hard to keep them charged for long periods of time. WIth the Wii Chargestation and these battery packs and covers it makes life a whole lot easier and I would rather purchase this than have to go through a million batteries because it gets very expensive very quickly. So I say that you should definitely buy these if you are a gamer because they will dave you a lot of time and money.
