Nintendo Wii Remote Charger.

A couple of months ago I purchased a Wii Remote Charger and battery packs. You have to remove the batteries from the Wii remotes and replace them with the battery packs supplied. The Wii removes then stand in the charging station and are charged. The charging station is connected to the Wii via a USB cable that is provided in the pack. The only problem with the charger being powered in this way is that the Wii has to be powered at all times. I have discovered that if you have your Wii on Wii 24 the USB's are still powered and the charger works fine. When you first put the remotes into the station there is a red glow from around the base of the controllers, as time goes on the red turns to blue which indicates that the remotes are fully charged and ready to use.

The units are supposed to have high power 2800mA battery packs but in reality they last about 3 hours of continuous use. Which is not that long but they also only take 30-60 mins to charge so its not to bad as it only cost £10.

 Its now September and I have been using the charger for 3 months and it doesn't hold the charge anymore and the controllers have to be wiggled around in the holder a lot to even make contact with the charger. If things carry on like this it will be gone soon. Well its 2 weeks later and the charger and batteries are in the bin one set gave up completely and the other would only last about 30 minutes before turning off.

I guess you do get what you pay for after all !!!
