I'm on my my second set of the chargers. With the first set the batteries would only last for about 45 minutes even though I charged them for a day before using them the first time. The company sent me a new set and the batteries now last about 1.5 hours. I can play on a normal set of batteries for weeks so i'm not impressed.

I've gave up on using this charger. With the Wii silicon jacket on. You just can't charge it. Well, I can live with that. But the battery life is really bad. I went back to my old fashion rechargeable battery. And it only comes with a USB charger so you can't plug this into the wall outlet and have to sacrifice one of the USB port on your computer.

The first one sent to me would not charge.I emailed them about it and they sent are sending out another one. Havent recieved it yet so I cant really review. If that one is bad I will be sure to come back here to leave another review.. Otherwise, I can't see why this product wouldn't be a great buy. the price was great!

my niece have a Wii for almost a year... she used lots of AA batteries for her Wii Remote... so i finally bought this one... she had some difficulties to place her both remotes on this charger, bcoz she had snap-on remote covers... but once she remove their covers, its soo easy for her to charge and use efficiently... Pros : Cheaper Price , Save AA batteries , fast charging , easy to use. Cons : connecting cable is too short (u need to place charger near to Wii Console) , need to remove cover/strap from remote

Got the product in two days, easy to setup and works great. The only thing is that the light under the controlers are always on, even if you don't have a controller on the station.

charger works great and now i don't have to search around for my wii remotes anymore. only complaint is the connectors on the dock are finiky somtimes you have to adjust the remotes to get it to charge. other than that you can't beat this for the price.

Seems to work just fine - battery life is pretty good, and for the cost, you would be hard-pressed to get 4 good rechargeable AA batteries at the same cost (at the sale price that I paid for it) The only downfall is that the Wii has to be turned on for the charger to work, as it is powered via one of the USB ports on the back of the Wii. Another issue is that if you use the protective silicone jacket on the Wii remote, it has to be pulled up and out of the way for the remote to fit in the charger. For $12, I'm not complaining all that much.

Hey can't beat the price. All the others are in the $25-$50 range. I got one of those a year ago and here I am replacing it with the $15. Dave from Iowa said he should have bought two. I did and very happy about it. My nephew played for 3 hours and it took about 30 mins. to recharge.

Does what it is supposed to do. Batteries don't seem to hold a charge for very long but, this thing keeps em charged so, works for me.
 
Was this review helpful?    

This is a cheap charging station. The charge does not last very long on the battery. To charge your controller with protective "glove", you will have to peel it half-way off or not use the protective sleeves at all. Otherwise it is nice to not have to constantly swap out batteries.

Only one side of the charger works, which is not good enough in my opinion. But the good news is that the unit was "cheap". Next time I will go with a more well known brand.

CONS: USB cable is too short, batteries don't last long enough, remote is hard to seat in charger <P> PROS: price (I paid $11 shipped), value compared to non-rechargable batteries <P> OVERALL: ok deal, but after about 30 days of light usage, batteries will now barely charge enough to play a couple of hours

Works as it should. Blue light is bright as hell and cord is short. But for its price, it's definitely a deal.

Seems to work well, but it has some minor issues. The USB cord is fairly short. I had to remove the covers to my remotes to get them to fit. I have to be careful placing them in the unit to arrange the strap for the remote. The red/blue light is awfully bright. My wife complained that it bothered her when she was watching TV & I had to turn it sideways.

So far, we're really liking the charger. It doesn't last as long as we would like, but it's better than buying batteries constantly. Only once have we had to stop playing to charge the batteries. Overall, good value for the price paid, and quick shipping.

We have had this for a couple weeks now and LOVE it! It is great to set the Wiimotes on the charger after we are done playing, then have them ready for play the next time! Sure beats the heck out of throwing $$$ away on batteries! Highly recommended!!!

I got these for 12 bucks shipped. Great deal. The batteries are holding up so far. I've played for more than 3 hours on a charge. (Had them for about a month now.) Much more convenient than switching out batteries.

Great idea for the Wii, you hate to run out of power in the middle of a game. Real nice for the great price, shipping was very fast.

if u r like myself i have about 7 different things pluged into outlets on main living room entertainment center. this charger lets me charge it directly to the wii station so it doesnt need to occupy another outlets plug, which is great considering after my multiple tv"s( so i can play games while watching a movie ), playstation 3, xbox, dvd. stereo system ..its one less thing i have to plug into an outlet. great on delivery also..very prompt depending on where u live. heard complaints on battery life but i have multiple wii stations( one for the child and one for myself) i like the usb cable better than the wall outlet unit

When I 1st got this, I was disappointed that this is a piece of junk. I said to myself, no wonder it's only $10.00. I'm not sure if I can trust switching the battery on my Wii controllers. I just don't feel comfortable at all. This is not made from Nintendo, it came with a crummy box (something you pick out from the 99cent store), this doesn't look legit, no wonder Video game or retail store don't sell this merchandise. Should come with a Warning: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

The product works as expected, and it is very intuitive to install. The red and blue indicators let you know whether charging or already charged. The only CON I would say is that the blue light does not turn off after a certain period of time, and I have to disconnect it at night because it's very bright. Other than that, it's great! It pays for itself in the batteries you don't have to buy if you play a lot of Wii, and it's more convenient than rechargeable standard batteries.

It works. Included batteries are just OK. The bright blue light is great for about 30 seconds and then gets annoying.

Does exactly what it's supposed to. Nice red=uncharged, blue=charged glowing lights. It's a little annoying that the silicone covers have to come off the controllers to put them in the charger, but that's someone else's problem. Only paid $10.

Keeps the batteries charged and always ready. My only complaint is that you cant keep the Wiimote sleeves on otherwise its an excellent product.

Had this thing for a few weeks now. Batteries are now always ready when we want to play. Can't even begin to count the number of times we went to play the Wii and the batteries were dead. The Wiimotes eat regular batteries at an astounding pace. This is a must have as far as I am concerened. Has 2 battery packs and cool led lights that change from red to blue to let you know the charge status. Best of all it plugs into the back of the Wii! 5 stars! Get 1!

Nice and cheap, a good replacement for batteries. Wish the cord for the charger was longer though. Sometimes takes a couple tries to seat the remotes properly for charging. And the blue idle/charged light is really bright, something to keep in mind if your Wii is in your bedroom. Also they shipped mine (free) via the postal service, so keep that in mind if the Post Office doesn't deliver to your house.

Love it will never run out of battery. After the kids done, just place on the charger and will be ready for next use with fully charge battery. Recommended.
 
Was this review helpful?    

I can't complain about the price paid for them ($10 with free shipping). The batteries don't last too long, approximately 4-6 hours depending on the game being played. If the battery lasted longer would be great but it definetly saves on buying batteries or playing a game and having the remote stop working during play time.

overall a great price for a great product. Only downside is the USB cord is less than a foot long, so you have to have the charging station RIGHT next to the wii.

This charger does the job for me. I play maybe an hour and a half at a time. The batteries are always charged and ready to go.

I give this item a 3 out of 5. The charger works great, but at times, I have to make sure I play with the way the controller sits on the charger in order to make it light up red (charge light, regular light is blue). The charge does not seem to last for very long. After a full charge, both controllers were played for approx. 3-4 hours and was at 1 battery bar. If they made this item more easier to use, fixing the charge problem and also perhaps 2-3 more hours more play time, this would be great. My friend has the other charge unit made by Nyko and it lasts much longer. Can't complain about the price since it was a steal. I regret purchasing since I could have spend another 15 dollars and bought the Nyko unit. Also, it lights a bright blue light at all times. A little irritating when you are trying to sleep.

Pretty good unit for the price. The illuminated charging station lets you know instantly whether the wiimote is charging or fully charged. The wiimote cord makes seating of the wiimote difficult, but I have found if you run the cord under the unit towards the front it seats a little more easily. Battery life on a full charge is not impressive, I would estimate about 2-3 hours max.; still enough for what we use it for, but serious gamers would have issues with that. The unit plugs into the USB port and will charge on standby mode, but if you turn the Wii off (by holding the power button in for 5 seconds) the unit does not charge.

Great item its cool to not have to waste money on batteries. or even take rechargable ones out to charge simply put the wiimote into the charge station and ur done. Great buy looks cool next to the Wii. just wish they had a 4 remote station.

I suppose for the price, my expectations should be tempered, but I was a little surprised by how quickly the LiOn Batteries seem to lose their charge. They fit in the Wimotes nicely and the station seems to charge them fine, but they only last 20-30 minutes at best. If the batteries were to last as long as our AA rechargeables, then this would be a 5-star product.

I bought this because it was on sale for $10 with free shipping. Not sure its even worth that. The batteries last about 15-30 minutes each. Even on a full charge.

It works and it plugs right in to the back of the Wii, which is rather convenient. Was cheap so I picked one up. For the cost of the product over how many times I'd have to replace the batteries thus far it was a good purchase. I'm confused how game play and graphics are supposed to be factored in to it, although it is a very nice looking addition and has a simple light feature, red for charging blue for done. Easy to set up and easy to use. Compared to the Nyko I'd have to say its actually easier to get the Wii mote with a strap in to the charger. No problems so far, but still watching for them.

I got this for pretty cheap, so can't complain. We have never played for hours on end, so haven't run into any problems with the batteres dying. Once you are done, you can just stick them in the chargers and they will be ready for the next time.

I like the concept of these controllers, as they'll surely save me some money on batteries, but they're not without their faults. First off, they don't seem to charge to 100% battery, which just means they run out fast. Second, they don't seem to hold a charge between use, so I often have to use one until it dies, while charging the other. My third fault is that my controllers seem to freak out sometimes. I've been playing a game that requires subtle moves, and I occasionally have problems with the controllers now. Aside from those three things, though, these are pretty cool. for the price, it's pretty easy to justify the purchase. They're quirky, but once you figure out how to work with that, all is well.
