We have had the wii for over a year now and have used packets and packets of batteries well we decided enough was enough and as we were recycling everything else we would cut down on batteries too and try a rechargable docking station for the wii, we had a few worries mainly on how long the hand sets would hold their charge as the wii is used by all the family here and often for a few hours in the evening with the kids bowling etc but we need not have worried. We ordered this off the net and we paid just over £6.00 with free delivery which was a bargain we thought, it came as promised within two working days and we set it up and read instruction books and ...  Read the complete review

When I first got my Wii I was worried about the batteries on the Wii remotes running out and ending up spending alot of money on batteries. However I saw this product and decided to buy it. I've had this charger station since I got my Wii a couple of years ago. It's very easy to set up and uses the main power going into the Wii.

We have 2 Wii remotes and we are always playing on the console and we soon learned not to put standard batteries in our remotes as it seemed to eat them, but even with the rechargeable batteries they were still running down quickly. We looked at a few remote chargers and the most highly rated were the Tecknet PG-Wi081's. We got these from Argos and were very happy. They come with 2 alternative Wii remote battery packs that fix into your remote and then when you place the remotes in the docking station they charge back up directly from the the station. The docking station is connected to your Wii via a cable and unfortunately only works when the Wii is turned ...  Read the complete review
