 Overall, a very nice and convenient product Jan 07, 2010
By Gary
Just got the charger at Christmas. It seems to charge just fine, even with various sleeves on the wiimotes. However, be aware, that due to the induction circuitry's space requirements, the battery packs use AAA cells, not the AA cells that come stock with the wiimotes. (BTW, You can open the packs with one screw, and can easily replace the cells with new rechargeable AAA's when they wear out.)
Generally, a standard AAA cell has 1/2 the MAH (Milli amp hours) of a AA cell (around 1200 MAH to 2400 MAH). This means that in theory, the wiimote using the energizer packs should only last around 1/2 as long between charges as a wiimote using AA cells. I haven't tested this as of yet.
They do seem to last enough for our normal playing sessions, and we always store them on the charger.
My initial impression still, however, is that this is a very nice product, that is a very convenient way to keep your wiimotes charged.

 Works well with no worries Jan 05, 2010
By Zachary M. Richardson

So I've always had trouble getting the younger siblings to keep the wii remotes charged up and ready to play... until now. There's nothing more frustrating than getting all set up for a 4 player game only to realize that one controller is dead. Then comes the waste of time search for charged up batteries, the inevitable cannibalizing of batteries from the Xbox360 or TV remotes and then, finally, you're ready to play... until a second remote dies halfway through the first round. Not cool, not fun, and not the simple user-friendly charging experience I expected when I bought the Wii.
This induction charger fixes all my problems. The remotes just sit on the charger when not in use, a little green light tells you when they're fully charged, and it still charges the remote with motionplus through the jelly sleeve thing it comes in. The little guys are (so far) managing to put the remotes on the charger when not using them and we haven't had a problem starting up a 4 player game since we got the thing. Induction chargers are very cool. I look forward to the day when power cords (and cords in general) are a thing of the past and everything runs on wireless power. This little gadget takes me one step closer to that blissful day when I won't have to set up anyone's TV/Cable/Bluray(though no doubt it'll all be digital distribution by then)/game system etc.
I give the thing five stars. I'm SO glad I got this before getting Wii Sports Resort. As fun as it's been (and anyone who's given showdown mode in sword fighting a whirl can tell you, there's loads to be had), it would have been a royal pain in the butt to have to take the remote's jelly casing off every time I wanted to switch the batteries out.
To wrap it up, I'm impressed, pleased, and would recommend this ploduct to anyone with a wii. I hope this kind of tech comes built in to the next Nintendo system, or, if it doesn't, that energizer has the next version of this gadget ready to launch alongside it. Very nice. Go buy it already.

Very cool! Very easy to use! Jan 04, 2010

You can't beat this charging system. Batteries don't last as long as my over-the-counter Duracell and Energizer systems, but they last long enough to play all day. Plus the ease of charging makes it a snap to swap the controllers out if you should need to swap.
You don't need to remove the rubber coating and the controllers fit on the pad with the straps and WiiMotion accessories without any problems.
This is a must have for WiiHeads.

Best Charger I found Mar 13, 2010
By reviewer
I love this charger. It looks great. It charges the remotes while in the silicone sleeves as well as with the motion plus attached. I have this version that charges 4, but there is also one that charges 2.
The battery packs that come with it do not make the remote any bulkier or heavier and you wouldn't notice they were there unless you had a colored remote--the battery packs have a white back so on the pink and blue remotes you will have the white back. It doesn't really look bad, but it would have been nice to have the same color.
The thing that i don't like is that there doesn't seem to be much by the way of support information. I went to charge all 4 remotes and the 2 outer ones would charge fine but the 2 inside ones would just blink. but once the outside ones charged, the inside ones charged as well. They maintain sufficient charge for us to play throughout the day.
The biggest boon is not having the bulkier battery packs and not having to remove anything to charge the remotes.
I would definitely recommend this product.
UPDATE: 4/5/10: Out of cautiousness, i got a second unit to test. I discovered that with both units, the inside charging areas (slot 2 and 3) would blink red while the others (1 and 4) would charge. when they are done charging, then the inside ones would charge. While the outside ones were charging, the inside ones blinked constantly. There is no information i could find on energizers site that addressed this issue. Even with 4 fully charged remotes, if i put them on the station, initially slot 2 and sometimes also slot 3 would blink. After a few hours, all slots had a solid green. With that test, no remotes needed charged--so my theory is just that slot 1 and 4 work first, sort things out--figure out if the remotes need charged or not and then slot 2 and 3 take over. This is only a theory--tested on 2 separate units. I am not an electronic whiz--i'm just assuming that this is by design for some reason.
I am completely pleased with this unit and would highly recommend.
UPDATE 9/30/10: The charger still works great--never a problem. Remotes are always fully charged. Absolutely thrilled with this purchase. Just wanted to update as some people reported their units only lasted a couple of months.
UPDATE 9/11/11: Still works great and still very satisfied with purchase. Highly recommend.

This is a Great Charger As Long as you... May 08, 2010
By Josh Valenzuela

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 :)
