Found this little nugget of gold at DSE. Going to go buy 2 today.
www.dse.com.au/

While your there, grab some of these excellent high drain batteries. 2200mah will be loads of power.
www.dse.com.au/

Total cost for it all would be $40. You could always cheap out and just get 1 charger and the total will be $30. Awesome stuff.

Correct that: These batteries would be more suited to that charger, and they're cheaper, but less mAh.

Gonna grab me a pack today

Heres a sad little fact. You only get 5v+ power from the USB if you have the machine on, or have WiiConnect24 on. Guess Ill have to turn it back on after all

I bet the Joytech charger pack will work exactly the same.

By the way, the chargers have this little red light on them and If i send myself an email to the Wii, you get a blue mouth and 2 little red eyes on my Wii Monster Ill post pics soon.

How exactly does this work? Do you plug the USB into the back of the Wii and it charges the batteries? Also, do you know about how many hours of gameplay the batteries last and how long it takes to fully charge?

Ill let you know Yippy. They came 1/2 charged and im waiting till the monsters eyes turn green to tell me they're charged. Then Ill use the handy "play time" message on the message board to work out how long they last! But really, maybe every week or so Ill chuck the batteries in to charge over night and thats it.

And yeh, 2 chargers for each wiimote, and 2 usb slots to plug into.

Yep!

Looks like about 12-16 hours play time with fully charged 2000mah batteries.
More than enough for 1 days SOLID play time.
