2 out of 5 stars Not worth the price   December 2, 2008
This item worked great - for about a month. For this price I would expect it to last longer but it has stopped charging the batteris even though the light tunrs green as if it is fully charged (how annoying is that when you go to play thinking the remote is charged & it's not!). My friend has the same system & the same problem so I know it is not a fluke. I suggest buying something cheaper, or as another posted suggested, rechargeable batteries.

its nykko it works great and never has failed me and form fitting to remote


5 out of 5 stars Great chargers as not to use battery power any more.   November 29, 2008
Much better than batteries, however, the units are sometimes a pain to try to get in to charge. The outer shell has to be lifted and even then it is sometimes trial and error. I would recommend them just to save battery life and changing of batteries on a daily basis.


1 out of 5 stars Don't buy this, buy rechargable AA batteries instead.   November 26, 2008
I purchased this for convenience and to save money on batteries. The idea is great, the design and quality are poor. The remotes with the back plate provided do not make a great connection. You have to wiggle the remote in the stand to make the connection solid for charging. To date I have had to replace one rechargeable pack and the other one doesn't hold the charge that well anymore. I've had it for a little over a year and would recommend that you purchase rechargeable AA batteries. You will have less aggravation.


5 out of 5 stars Very handy!   November 25, 2008
I was always worried that the charge would run out on my wii remote batteries - but now I have this handy charge station. My remotes are always charged and I can play as much as I want.

It was a little tricky to set up, for some reason my friend could not figure out how to get the new batteries in but I thought it was easy (there's a notch on the battery pack where this little plastic tab inside the battery tray must go).

Taking the remote out of the rubber case every time to charge it gets irritating, but not the fault of the charge station. If you want to keep your remotes charged this is probably the easiest way to go.
