I have the Nyko charger. It's a decent option that charges two remotes in about3.5-4 hours. The only problem is its a bit finicky(?) so you have to make sure you put each controller in the right way.

I like the wiimote charger. It works like a charm. It can charge your wiimote in a few hours. I don't think you have much of a choice though cause i think NKYO is the only wiimote charger out now.

Don't waste money on a charger when rechargeable batteries and the best and cheapest way to get it done.

Those chargers especially for the Wiimote don't last as long per charge and don't last as long for overall life as regular AA's batteries you can charge. Also remember that each battery has a certain time of charges it can take before it wont charge anymore and each time you set it on the charger you waste one charge. That means that no matter if you play until the batteries are dead or you just play for an hour it's losing one of it's charges.

A set of 8 Energizer AA's will last you 8000 charges and you'll only charge them when you need to.

That charger comes with 4 2500 AA's, a higher number means longer battery life, that's 28 dollars HERE

Then all you need to do is buy another set of 4 batteries and just take turns charging them. If you're really worried 2 of those sets there is still cheaper then 2 charge stations made only for the Wii.

Also remember that when those batteries die in the charger unit only for the Wii you have to pay a lot of money for a new specialty battery while Energizer rechargeables are cheaper.

mine works great, its made by powerwave. I got mine for 25$$ australian, and it charges a wiimote in about 4 hours, plus the stand that comes with it holds 2 wiimotes and the wii. Around it is a blue light like the one that comes on the front of the wi, a LED light ? So yer, it works great, highly recomended.

The wiimote charger is pretty good. I haven't had to charge my wii mote for a few days. Plus the overall look looks nice with the wii. Blue light means charging and green means done.

Has anyone tried the charger from madcatz? Have the other one and you have to be really careful how you put it in the charger or it does not make the conection.

Ive heard alot of ppl say the nyko one is very touchy and it sometimes only charges one remote at a time when there are 2 on it. I have a charger and the energizer rechargeable batteries.

Thanks for the advice, just went out to Target and bought the same charger albeit with no batteries included for 9.99 and an 8 pack of 2500 mAh rechargeable batteries for 21.99. So my total with tax was 34.06. It was a pretty good deal. Thanks again!
