Twin Dual Remote Charger/Charging Docking Station Stand + 2 x 2800 Rechargable mAh Batteries for Nintendo Wii

Yes they are delivered quickly and they come in a plastic bag but the worst part is I charged the batteries for more than 12 hours as it said in the instructions and when I tried to play only thing i managed to do was to turn on the remotes and the batteries died. They are not worth trowing out your money, give it to a homeless person or buy some beer instead of getting these batteries.

The best invention ever, stops the 'Mum I need more batteries' whines! Although I would recommend you purchase a USB adaptor plug at the same time, so you can charge it from the mains and not the computer!

Should have read the other reviews before I purchased this item. It takes hours to charge the two wii controllers, not so much of a problem having the have the wii on to charge them but it is the length of time it actually takes. Probably would be cheaper to keep buying batteries than the amount of electric it takes to charge them. If you in the middle of a game when controller needs charging you have to use normal batteries anyway unless you want to wait hours to carry on the game !!! Not a good buy.

I am totally disappointed with this. It takes hours and hours to charge the remotes and then they do not hold their charge even if you do not play with them. I would recommend anyone else to look at alternatives.

A bit more warning when they are running low would be useful! The first I know is when the handset does not work, which means I then have to charge it up before I can use my Wii, which is a bit annoying.

As others have noted, the batteries in the pack are rubbish and don't hold their charge, and they are not replaceable, so you can't put better quality ones in. I got this for convenience of being able to just drop the handsets into the charger when we had finished using them, but you have to remove the rubber sleeves from the handsets to get them into the charger. Also, if you have Wii motion plus adapters fitted to the base of your handsets, this makes them too tall for the docking station, so you have to remove them as well as the sleeves in order to charge them, which makes it all a real pain.

This battery charger is USB powered and can be plugged into one of the two USB ports at the back of your Nintendo Wii. The re-chargeable batteries are set into the wii-mote covers and simply replace the covers on your existing wii-motes. Once you've done that you pop them in the charging dock and enjoy the illuminations! The charging unit glows bright blue across the bottom and glows red where the wii-motes are to indicate that they are charging. Once they are charged the light turns blue - but this can take a long time! The quality of the unit is fine, it looks impressive and it matches the look of the Wii itself but the main flaw is the length it takes to charge your wii-motes. Thankfully though, as USB is pretty common these days you may be able to plug it into something else such as your computer or even your DVD player if it has a powered USB port rather than leaving your Wii turned on purely to charge to batteries (which take 12 hours+ to charge!).

My experience of this product appears to be very different from those of other customers. I charged my battery packs, as suggested, for at least 12 hrs before first use with no problems. Once charged, I used one remote for a couple of hours and the battery charge indicator was at about 50%. The only quibble I had was with the packaging and customers should be aware that the item is packed in padded envelope with no box and as such isn't really suitable as a present. Although, for the price I paid, I'm not complaining!

Im not impressed with this product so far i have charged it for over 12hours through my laptop im i doing it rite? i now have pluged into the wii the light is still red. Also are they ment to be any lights on on the remotes them selfs? please help thank you

Got this as a present after I had put it on my wish-list. I'll be needing to get another one now. They have spent hours and hours on charge and give very little playtime before needing a full charge again. Not impressed at all with it. Searching now for smoething that does the job properly....
