Remote Charging Stand (Wii)

Like many others, we have found that not only do our remotes no longer hold charge from the rechargables, but also suck power from standard batteries and are now very temperamental even with standard batteries.

My advise is that the £60 to replace your remotes is not worth the risk of using this product.

Hi I have brought this stand for my brother, but im not sure which batteries to use or which one's to buy?

Please can you help?

Im lost here, because I have two remote controls, and they both take AA battries NOT AAA ?

this peice of hardware for the wii is a good idea but it has a good few flaws.
1. the remotes only charge if you have the wii console on standby mode which takes the power of 15 watts of electricity. this costs you around 45 pounds a year to run.
2. the battries it takes are AAA battries and only lasts a few hours.
3. if your playing the console by yourself you can charge the batteries but unfortuanatly you wouldnt play for longer than 10 hours would you?.
4. there is an aa battery charger which is useless then this only tales aaa batteries.
the best thing about this is it is a good stand for the wii and it has cool blue led lights around the console and controller ports(there are two controller ports) which is very sleek and modern looking.
the charger plugs in the consoles usb port which is why the console has to be powered on or on wii connect 24 standby mode which you have to turn on in wii settings but be careful leaving that amount of power on. i always turn my console off by the plug. but this is a good idea and you dont need to buy barreies every 100 hours

Well worth the price. keeps my wii tidy with my remotes and charges at the same time!

(And also has a cool blue light which looks funky)

Ps. don't forget to plug the usb wire into your wii from under the stand..otherwise it won't charge!
