My only con with this charger is, Now with the wii motion plus. I have to remove the wii motion plus from the controller to charge the battery pack. If the company that makes this charger would make a new base to allow the wii motion plus to remain attached to the controller, this charger and battery pack combination would be the "cats meow"!

It sure is nice to see a product that performs like this. The charging system is great, not having to remove the rubber sleeves from the controllers. And the batteries stay at full charge for a LONG time!!!

In all, this changer w/ battery packs is a good buy. Let me go over it a bit though. Cons: * Batteries are 'light'. This is a con for me because now the remotes have little heft in them and feel a little awkward. * Wii always thinks the batteries are full. Just charge them regularly. They seem to last about 8 full play hours or so per charge (nowhere near 25 hours). As long as you can get a full play session in though, that's all that should matter since you can easily recharge the batteries. * Batteries do not always charge when light is on. The first time I charged the batteries by themselves (not in the remotes), one did not charge. Pros: * No more swapping out batteries. * Batteries are charged wirelessly. This should be emphasized more, but yes - there is no connection. You've got a coil in the charger and a coil in the batteries. The charger makes an alternating magnetic force and this force charges the battery. This is why the remotes can be charged without taking off any remote skins. I don't have any, but it should work. * No battery discharge memory. I can't remember what kind of batteries these are, but you shouldn't have to worry about discharging them fully. In all, this is a good buy and probably the best you can get out there.

I knew I had to get this charger for my Wii remotes because I could just toss it on the charger without having to take the OEM rubber sleeves off. I had heard about this coming from Japan last year but it's finally available here in the USA, so I had to get it. The induction charging is cool! On top of that, the batteries seemed lighter to me and were 2800 mAh capacity which is better than a lot of the other chargers. I had been eating through AA batteries before I had this charger. Now a charge last me at least 4 days and we play the Wii almost everyday for 3 hrs. My only complaint is that the charging indicator is backwards of what you would expect. It is solid when charging and blinking like crazy when it's done. Call it a nag factor, but it forces me remove the remotes when they are done charging so I don't have a seizure from the lights :) Small price to pay though, so I don't mind. The only things I would add to this to make it better would be a holder for the nunchucks, a 4 remote charger model, and charging by USB cable vs a wall charger.

I have small kids and it is very important for me to leave the protective sleeves on the Wii Remote, In fact I even went so far as to purchase the Nerf Soft covers for one of them. I love this product because I can leave the covers on them and still charge the controllers. The batteries provide longer game play then 2AA batteries alone and best think is you put them in the chargers at night and by morning they are done. Only annoying thing about the product is the crazy bright blue LED light on the front. We turned ours sideways and all is well now. This recharge kit may be a little more expensive than others but how cool is it to have an inductive charging station. For me it was worth the extra money! So easy even a 2 year old can Charge the remote, seriously!

This is a great product. We all forget that we had to have other batteries before. What a pain. Drop them on the charger rubber sleeves and all. Of Course, I have to make sure my 3 year old(soon to be 4) puts them down until the blue lights come on other wise "Just like a Staples EASY Button"

These are good. However, I do not think you can get 25 hours of gameplay from full charge. That one thing a side, they are great.

I can only say I love the InCharge. All you need to do is lay the remotes in the charger and they recharge. The rechargeable batterys supplied hold a large charge that lasts for a lot of play time. You can't beat the price, and free shipping from Buy.com. It came in only a few days.

Love the fact you can charge with the skins on. Hate the neon light.

Like the other reviewers, I think this is a great product. I bought it because I didn't need to remove the sleeve to recharge - which is really convenient. Only quibble is that the blue LEDs are (like most products these days) much brighter than they need to be, but no big deal. Also, it's strange that the lights are solid when charging, but then blink when the charge is complete - backwards from most other products.

This charger is great. All you do is lay the controlers in the cradle without removing the covers. The light comes on to show chanrging has started and flashes when finished. The rechargable batteries have many hours of life and as a whole, the investment was good.

This is a great product because you don't have to peel back the Silicon Sleeve to charge the devices. Makes life simpler!!!!!!!!!!

This charger is great. It charges the wiimotes right through the silicone sleeve. The charge time is longer so you need to leave the remotes on the charger overnight. A steady blue light burns while charging which changes to an annoying blue flashing light when the charge is complete. This isn't bad though as it serves to remind us not to leave the remotes in the charger between uses but rather only use the charger when the wiimotes need charging. My first charge lasted over a week! I highly recommend this product - I've already bought another as a gift.

We purchased the InCharge charger as an addition to our new Wii system, and we could not be happier! The charging system works flawlessly through our gel skins, and the batteries have an impressive life between charges. The ONLY thing that keeps this from being the PERFECT addition is the funny way that the blinking and solid light are backwards of most every other charging system we have. Not really a big deal for us, though. The charger sits inside the entertainment center with our Wii in the game room.

If you are tired of using and wasting batteries on your Wii, this is your charger. All you do is place the controllers or batteries into the charging tray and you're done. No contact pins to align or get corroded, and the charges last a long time.

So far we've had great battery life, and they work as advertised, with the skins and wrist straps attached. I bought 2 of them for my four remotes, but in hind site would just order 2 extra batteries instead since they hold a charge for a long time.

WOW!!! What else can I say. This is the perfect charger for the Wii remotes. I don't know how it works, but it does. I have only had the charger for a couple of weeks so I can't vouch for the longevity of the batteries yet, but so far so good.

This is the best Wii charger out there. It works just as they describe. If i could change anything about it i would tone down the blue lights, they are a little bright, but it is obvious when they are charging or done charging.

This is a great charging station. The batteries last a long time, charge really fast, and the controllers are lightweight. The only complaint is the blinking blue light... If they could fix that, this product would be perfect!

This charger works well...as advertised it charges through the silicon skin & w/straps attached. Haven't been able to test out the 25 hrs per charge, but it seems to hold for quite a while. Agree with other reviews, the fact that the blue light blinks when charging and is solid when fully charged is backwards, but tolerable.

Very happy with this charger, no contactors exposed,so just drop the remotes in with the sleeves and straps, and you're good to go.

The best thing about this charger is that you can charge your controllers with the silicon cover still on. I also like the fact that my kids can just drop their conrollers into it when they're done without having to mess with plugging in cables. The only design flaw is that the blue "charge" lights blink when they're ready, but are solid while charging. This seems counter-intuitive, but can be easily overlooked since it is so easy to use. I paid $35 with free shipping and I couldn't be happier.

If you're looking for a charger for your Wii remotes, InCharge is the only way to go. The lithium polymer batteries really hold a charge and the "no contacts" charging method is great as you can leave the sleeves on the remotes while charging. I do agree with other reviews, the designers should have the charger blinking as the remotes are charging and the lights solid when fully charged. We've put the charger on the bottom shelf of the TV cabinet, so the blinking lights aren't a distraction.

This double charger comes with 2 Lith Ion battery packs and an induction charger that charges 1 or 2 controllers even with the skins on. Flashing blue lights tell when the charge is complete. Well worth the price.

This does cost a bit more than most dual chargers, but compared to the cost of games, the $10-15 more isn't so bad. Considering that you can charge through the gel skins is easily worth the price. The build quality is not that of Nintendo products, but it is quite good compared to a lot of lower quality products made in China. My only complaint is that the blue LEDs are constant when charging and blink when fully charged. This should be reversed. It's annoying to have two blinking LEDs (which are not synchronized when they blink) lighting up the room.

Work fine for us. We just drop the remotes into the charger when not in use and they charge away. We really like not having to remove the skins for charging. It's as easy to use as the electric toothbrush and should save us a whole lot of money for batteries.

Fast and easy. Charges thru the skins. I can't beleive they didn't come up with this before.

This is the ONLY charger to to buy for the wii. I had the Nikko charger and after awhile only one side worked and you had to jiggle the remotes to start the charge. This one, you just drop 'em on it and they charge even with the skins on. Also, it is so simple, the kids will actually put the wiimotes on it. The only downside to this charger is, when the wiimotes have charged the blue lights blink all night long, they should just turn off.

No direct metal contact for the charger. You can charge battery through thick silicon skin. No problem for kids. It costs a little more than other charger but this is the only one charger work without removing silicon skin protection.

This is simply the best charger! I'm not sure which is better, charging with the skins on or the length of the Lithium battery charge. For the money, you can't go wrong with this product.

Best charger out there for anyone who uses the free remotes skins from Nintendo. And also the only product that works with the skins on. We had to take out skins before charging on the old charger but no more with the new Incharge.

Finally a product with the mind of silicon skins in design. WE LOVE IT!! Nintendo have been shipping skins out forever and every other charger out there does not charge with skins on and so much hassle having to take them off for every charge. Awesome charger, high quality, fast recharges, and long battery hours. Definitely a must get for everyone using remote skins.
