 Highly Recommended! Dec 04, 2009
By C. W. Scot
Of the various Wii Remote charging solutions I've encountered, this is easily one of the more elegant and effective.
The charger, itself, is very sleek and attractive -- heavily influenced, it would seem, by Apple's minimalist design aesthetic.
Set-up is a breeze: replace the Wii Remote's alkaline batteries with the included combination battery cover/battery pack, plug in the AC adapter, connect the adapter to the charger, and place the Wii Remote (with or without a Wii Remote Jacket or Wii MotionPlus module) on the panel.
LED indicators glow red when charging is in progress and green when charging is complete. In my experience, depleted batteries will reach full charge within three to four hours, and a full charge will power a Wii Remote for at least six to eight hours of game play, depending on use.
There are a lot of things to like about this charger, but, for me, three stand out:
(1) This charger is fully compatible with Wii Remote Jackets and Wii MotionPlus modules, so, if you use either of these, there's no need to remove them for charging with this system. Not all of the charging systems out there work with these accessories attached; the fact that this one does really ups its convenience factor.
(2) This system features regulated "trickle charging," which eliminates concerns about overcharging the batteries; you can leave the Wii Remotes on the charger whenever they're not in use, even for extended periods of time, without risking damage to the batteries. This means your remotes are always ready to go whenever you're ready to play.
(3) This system's horizontal flat-panel design allows for placement of the charger in confined spaces, unlike some of the cradle-style charging systems on the market, which take up a fair amount of vertical space.
There's not much to criticize about this charger save for two small issues:
(1) This charger can accommodate only two Wii Remotes at a time; if you have three or four remotes, this might not be the right charger for you. Energizer makes a 4X flat-panel induction charger for Wii Remotes, but it costs considerably more, and it has a much wider footprint, meaning it might not fit as neatly in cramped spaces
(2) If the remotes aren't precisely positioned on the panel, they won't charge. Built-in magnets help hold naked remotes in place during charging, but, if your remotes are wearing silicone jackets, the magnets won't help, and you'll have to be extra careful about getting the alignment just right and making sure the charging indicators are lit.
These are very minor concerns, though, about an otherwise outstanding product. Highly recommended!

Works like it should.(Even with black wii remotes) Jan 01, 2010
By Zack
I just picked up this charger last night and I will update this review later but I did want to mention one thing. I have found out through reading reviews that several other induction chargers will not charge the black wii remotes with the black silicone sleeve on. Supposedly because it is to thick. THIS CHARGE DOES CHARGE THE BLACK WII REMOTES WITH THE BLACK SILICON COVERS ON!!! I set the controllers to charge overnight so I am not sure if the black and white controllers charge just as fast or what but I will update this review after a while of use. I just wanted people out there with black wii remotes to know that this will work for them. The only catch is the battery cover is white but that doesn't matter if you put your black sleeve back on. Other than that the charger seems great. It glows red when its charging and green when its done. Simple.

 Wonderful product until it stops working. Nov 12, 2010
By Jerry
"J x 3"
I bought this thing back in June because my 2 roommates and I had been burning through batteries like nobody's business. It was kind of confusing at first because the package said it was supposed to flash red at low power, flash red at a slower pace when at medium charge, then be solid green when it was fully charged. It just flashed continuously red all the time but it charged fine, so that was ok.
Just recently however, one of the battery packs stopped charging. The wiimote would sit on the pad and flash continuously as it normally does, then we'd try and use it and it would have absolutely no power whatsoever. Pushing a button on the wiimote didn't even cause one of the four lights on the bottom to flash at all. Wrote it off as a lost cause, but now my other battery pack doesn't charge either. Got a good few months out of it but for the price I'd much rather get at least a couple of years.
Reading the other reviews it seems like some of the panels work great and others only work for a few months and then sputter out. Sounds like a manufacturing defect to me. For this reason, I can't recommend this product. It was a great idea, really cool, looks sexy and is a great conversation piece (the phrase "inductive charging" tends to elicit lots of "oohs" and "ahhs") but now it's just a broken piece of equipment I spent 30 bucks on.... and now we're back to letting our wiimotes munch on Duracells.

Simpe to use, I love it! Dec 12, 2009
By J. Stewart
I've tried other rechargeable battery inserts to no avail. This one is great! It's easy to use and I've never had the batteries run out during game play yet. Also, unlike other flat panel induction chargers, there are no weird clips or attachments to put onto the remote while it's charging - you just drop the controller off and walk away.
It's perfect. Well worth the price.

Broke twice and uses AAA batteries with less juice Sep 20, 2010
By adhatclomp
Dont even bother purchasing. Right out of the box, one of the batteries failed, giving a blinking red battery light. I returned the item and received another one which stopped working after 1 charge on each battery. Both batteries give the blinking red light now.
Since i was unable to recharge the energizer batteries anymore, i recently purchased a pack of Sanyo Eneloop batteries. I noticed they were lasting a lot longer than the one charge i had on the enrgizer batteries. So out of curiousity,i took apart the Energizer battery cases apart and found they were using AAA batteries (not AA) with 600mAh of juice. The Eneloop AA batteries which i used with my Wii controllers were 2000mAh. Even their AAA batteries had more juice at 800mAh. You might as well get a set of normal batteries. Not only will they last longer but they will work!
