Product Description |
|
Nyko's Charge Station for Wii is a great wayto save money on batteries. This dock features twin rechargeable battery packs for the Wii Remote -- just connect the Wii Remotes and let them sit until you're ready to play. Charges two Wiimotes at once. |

Needs better batteries |

Very short game play once batteries have been charged a few times. Would not purchase again. |

Broken after 1 year |
The battery pack stopped working for one of the two provided. And we had only had it for one year! One time we used it it complained that one of the remotes had low battery (we figured it was the two that have normal batteries, and replaced those but the message would not go away. ) The next time we tried to play, one of the controllers would not turn on! When we put regular batteries in that controller it did turn on. Thats how we knew it was the battery pack.
Also, we always struggled to get the WiiMotes to sit on the charging station just right so that they would charge. The wrist strap gets in the way and prevents them from making a good connection. |

Great Hardware Addition. |
I've had this for a couple of weeks now and so far so good. The only noticeable problem I can think of, is the Wii remote strap cord getting in the way when placing the Wii remote in the charger, but this alone does no justify giving this charging station a low score. It works. It simply works. You'll be replacing the original Wii battery covers for the ones supplied with the charger. Reason being, the covers that come with this unit have an opening for the rechargeable battery contacts.
Another thing you should know. As somebody here already mentioned, the Wii remote jacket does not fit in this charger. And quite honestly and logically, it is expected. I don't think any charger out there is wide enough to accomodate the Wii remote plastic jacket.
All in all. This unit is great. It works as described. My Wii remotes are always ready to go. |

Great Concept, One minor flaw |
BEST: Overall fantastic concept, idea and product. It does exactly what it says. The concept of a light beam recharging a battery? WOW! It's perfect, genius in that regard.
ISSUE: However the only thing is, when placed in the charging station, this beam won't truly penetrate the clear jacket skins of the remote controllers. No matter how you try to finagle them on there.
SOLUTION: You have to use a freehand paper center punch or scissor cut a hole around the exacting area where the sensor is on the skin in order to make this unit work in charging the battery.
Either way, I highly recommend this battery charging product as a must have for all Wii fans! |
