I just pick one up today for my two wiimotes, the new batteries slot in nicely and they're charging up right now. I DID have one on preorder through toys 'r' us (the powerwave branded one), but apparently the distributor is having problems with customs. So i walk into the local Retravision to try and locate a copy of SAW 3 (released tomorrow on dvd) and there was the joytech one. So after getting the money back from the pre-order i picked up the Joytech version. Has anyone else here got one of these or anything similar and what are your experiance with them. It's pretty cool how it doesnt charge via USB. You plug the cord into the wii consoles power port, then plug the wiis power cable in into the back of the plug from the dock station. Works well.

Doesnt that mean it would be on and using power 24/7?? or does it only use power when charging?

I might get one of these Joytech Powerstations if I can find some in stock for the $30 odd dollar price. Wish Nintendo were bringing one out

I use Rechargeable AAs.
But a dock would be easier.

I have been using rechargeable AA's since December 7th and 2 of them died the other day and the others dont hold there charge well now (good for wavebird). Rechargeable AA's only last a certain amount of time.

Went out today and got myself a Single Remote Charger from Big W "Power something" that uses USB. I didnt hook it up to my Wii, just plug it into my apple and put it on sleep mode and away it chargers. Seems great and doesnt take up any of my Wii USB's or splice the Wii's power.

I am happy with it so far, just waiting for the first initial 12 hour charge.

I was tempted to buy one of these, bus since I already had a battery Energizer charger, I figured I'd just get more batteries.

i use 3 pairs of Energizer AAs, but since they're only 1.2v each, they don't work as well as 1.5v batteries (non-rechargeable). i'm going to get one of these charger dock things soon, then no more batteries! (except for logitech harmony remote)

Winnie says:  

lol, Retravision? I didn't know they stocked any console stuff.

And Zoidberg, are you sure the ones that you got are the Powerwave ones?

ZOIDBERG says:

My one is a Playmax sorry, I thought it was power something but its Playmax. They do the job well, says on the packaging it should give 40 hours of play.
