Using innovative electromagnetic induction technology, you can charge your controllers without the hassle of having to remove protective silicone covers or Wii MotionPlus!

5 of 5 Excellent Charger! 9/1/2010
StephenH from CLT-NC
We bought this charger and a brand new Wii motion+. We tested it out and had our new wii motion+ charged in less than 4 hours. Easy setup and does not require the rubber sleave taken off for charging. Charge-n-play! I recommend it.

A customer from Birmingham, AL
I have had these remotes for a couple of weeks and have no complaints. My young son is able to put them on and take them off the charger without having to mess with the silicone cover or the Motion Plus.

5 of 5 Works as described 8/31/2010
Chandler from Arlington, TX
This item does exactly what it is supposed to do. You replace the batteries with the ones supplied and then just set the controllers on the charger and they charge. The lights flash until it is finished and then they turn blue. It is that easy. The battery life seems pretty good. My kids play Wii a few hours a day and we don't have to recharge for several days. Great product.

5 of 5 Works well! 8/31/2010
Roy from GA
I must admit I was skeptical but these last much longer and charge quicker than the previous set of rechargeable cover type batteries I had. Best of all, the kids can easily put them on the charger without worrying if they are actually charging. The indicator lights are clear and bright, and a quick sign of what the status is

5 of 5 Best charger I've found so far 8/30/2010
Steve from Sunnyvale, CA
I love the fact that you can charge the remotes without having to remove the rubber case.
I dislike the fact that the LEDs are very bright, and on all the time.
I also dislike the fact that the unit appears to charge for a fixed amount of time (several hours) any time the remote is placed on the charger; hard to know whether that's going to result in any over-charging on the batteries.
Not sure where to get replacement packs if/when needed. I suspect (since it appears to be a proprietary pack) that when the pack dies, it's back to alkalines....

5 of 5 Wii Remote Charger is very good 8/30/2010
A customer from Missouri City, TX
I didn't have high hopes for this device when ordering it. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the package. The product quality is very good. Well manufactured with great finish. It functions just as expected and we haven't had any trouble with it so far after using it for about a month.
Since you just place your remotes on the surface of the charger for charging, you don't have to remove motion plus accessory or nunchuck. Very convenient. A great product, and a very satisfactory purchase. Highly recommended.

4 of 5 Tough to Call 7/19/2010
SLG from Louisville, Ky
I'm hard pressed to say these are a good value - they're a bit pricey in my mind. On the up side, they certainly do sound better than the spkrs that come with the BT2. Of course really "hi-fi" sound from such small spkrs is a challenge. Most importantly for me, these come with a connector that is much more substantial than the one on the spkrs that come with the BT2 (the one shown is like the original - rubbery, these actually came with a hard plastic connector shaped differently). I bought these to replace an original that failed (connector) within a month. Midland did send me a replacement under warranty with the new connector, but I needed one ASAP and now I have a spare.

1 of 5 Not functional 7/19/2010
FranO from Ashland OR
This leather IPad case fails in one critical respect. It does not hold the IPad securely in place, so the controls get covered by the case - a shame. Because it's attractive and has a wonderful leather smell.

5 of 5 Works as advertised. 6/15/2010
Chris Miller from Milpitas, CA
I've had this charging station for a little over 6 months now, and haven't had any issues with it. It's been working great. I love not having to swap the batteries out anymore, and it works just fine with the Wii Motion Plus adapters in place, as well.

5 of 5 Well designed induction charger 3/20/2010
R from Huntington Beach, CA
You just replace the covers that came with the Wii remotes with these cover/battery packs and charge them up. Easy to use even with the silicone covers in place. No need to fiddle with the covers to charge. Just put them in their cradles and they'll be ready to play when you are. No color option other than white, but they are on the bottom and hidden by the silicone skins well.

4.7 of 5 Charges quickly with good battery life 1/1/2010
Brad from Harrisburg, PA
This charger meets my needs of having rechargeable battery packs included and not having to remove the jackets to charge AA cells anymore. The one negative I see with the charger is that even when you don't have the remotes charging, the 2 charge lights are blaring a solid red color. Quite annoying at night. Bypassed this with a piece of black electrical tape. I think the lights should just be off when the remotes aren't in the charger. That would make more sense. Excellent value for the price.

5 of 5 Works Great 1/1/2010
NewWiiDad from Grand Haven, MI
Works great, as advertised. Very easy to use. Was pleased to find out you can charge the battery pack when not in the remote control. The instructions weren't real clear on how to do that, so I struggled for a few minutes until I first looked at how they were oriented when charging IN the remote and copied that.
My only beef: Buy.com was kind enough to send me an e mail a week later letting me know the price had dropped $6!

4 of 5 Excellent charger compared to my old one 12/8/2009
Johnson from St Paul
I got this for my birthday from my girlfriend and I really like it. I had an old Wii charger and you always had to line up the battery slot with the charger. Sometimes I would think it was lined up and charging, only to come back to a dead remote. This Air Charge is much better. I just lay it on there and it charges it no matter what - even with the rubber covers on it. Highly recommended for kids, adults, and anyone who plays their Wii.
