1Be forewarned and get the Nyko charger instead!Nov 03, 2007
By Aaron M. Olsen "Kagemusha"
I got this charge station as part of a package. I thought I was getting the Nyko brand charging station, but instead I got this. This first thing I don't like about this is that you can't charge the batteries while they are in the remote. Secondly, you can only charge one battery pack at a time. So, if you have two remotes you essentially will still need additional batteries on hand to make sure your remotes don't die on you.
This is bad enough, but to make matters worse the battery life is HORRIBLE. I had a battery that had been charging for 6 hours and the station indicated it was fully charged, but when I went to play in lasted LESS THAN 2 HOURS OF PLAY TIME! This is unacceptable. Unfortunately, my regular pair of alkaline batteries lasted me for more than 30 days, so I'm past the return date to take this back. Now you have been warned.

3Unfortunately Not What I ExpectedJul 10, 2007
By R. Hooghiem "Lamar Vannoy"
When using this product, I chose to use each battery for its own controller, so that me and my brother could share the cost. The batteries, when used in conjunction with the nunchuk, have a slim battery life of just over 2 hours average. The color of the batteries does not match the plastic of the controllers, and the stickers on the batteries leave a terrible residue.

The plus side? If you intend to use the two batteries together, one at a time while the other charges, then this should be fine, as each battery will last longer than the time taken to charge the other battery. Design is nice, snaps well into wiimote, although quite tight for constant removal and reinsertion. Cheaper than batteries regardless for the lightweight gamers like me, who hate having the batteries die when they only play an hour or two a day, at most.

1Do not recommendJan 07, 2009
By Steven Carrano
You can only re-charge one battery at a time and you need to take the battery off the controller. I had bought one in the past from a different company (and it was cheaper) and it allowed me to re-charge the controller by simply placing the controller on the dock.
Also, taking the batteries off the controller is very difficult and tight! With the amount of force that I need to use I almost feel like I'm breaking it. Just to let you know, I'm not 7 yrs old....I'm 40.

2Excellent cradle when unpoweredDec 30, 2008
By Sean G. Mauser
When I first got it, I was initially disappointed that it only charges one battery at a time, and that you have to remove the pack from the Wiimote (and remove any sleeve you have on it).

The battery packs never held much of a charge out of the box, and now it's become even worse. They can spend all day charging and then last barely an hour before dying. Every time the indicator changes to the "charged" color, pushing in the battery pack and sliding it around a little will change it to "charging". It may just be me, but my station sometimes won't even get power, and I have to fiddle with the cable going into the base.

Still, it's a decent Wiimote cradle at best, ignoring the charging functions entirely. If you need some way to keep your Wiimotes vertical for easy access (and are too lazy to craft one yourself) this is a great product. You'll have to take off any sleeves you use (or peel it back a little) but straps are fine. There's even a perfect place to keep spare AA batteries, but I don't recommend placing anything there while powering the LED lights (they are only there for aesthetics, so you're not required to have it plugged in to hold your Wiimotes).

I suggest picking these up used from a likely unsatisfied customer, perhaps even seeking out "as is" or broken models, solely for a lump of plastic to keep your controllers in. But do make sure you don't spend more than $5 for it.
