This product only lasted me a few months. After so many months of use the batteries just started charging less and less. That was until one day it finally just died. Also the other problem I had was the fact that it wouldn't sit properly in the charging station. I had to constantly take the wrist strap off to fix this problem. So in the end unless you want to waste your money on buying new rechargeable batteries DON'T BUY THIS.

What's great about it: stays in the same place
What's not so great: you have to undress you remote
Well when I purchase the WII console I looked for chargers, good that I read reviews because I would have end like my brother, you need to remove the cover and hand strap to put it in the charger, and you cant use the remote, of course, it dosent last to long...I end it up buying rechargeable batteries with charger; is a better deal...

What's great about it: No more batteries to dispose of
What's not so great: Short battery life, no longer works
I have owned this for about 4 months then the Wii kept saying low battery indicated. I would put the remote back on the charger. About 5 minutes later the green light would come on indicating it was fully charged. About a half hour later another low battery indicated would pop up on the screen. After about a month of pop ups the rechargeable batteries no longer work in the wii remote. Also during the first 2 weeks of owning this, the metal prongs on the charging base popped out. I was able to fix it with needle nose pliers and it continued to charge the batteries. Overall what I paid for the charger is what I probably would of spent in batteries but I would of expected it to last longer than 4 months.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This was the worst buy I made for the Wii. The prongs popped out after a week of use on one side then the other scorched the metal on the battries. Go get the Energizer charger. It's better made.

What's great about it: Not having to buy or change batteries constantly.
What's not so great: Still not sure about battery life.
I have written review for other chargers and prematurely gave them good review. The Rocketfish actually destroyed one of my remotes although I didn't know it till after it was returned. I then went to the Energizer, which seemed to work well. Unfortunately that was short lived as the blinking red light issue came up only two short days after purchasing...
The best part about those charger were finding out they were garbage before my return period elapsed.
I am now on the Nyko charging station. I have one for the 360 and love it. Works VERY well and keeps my controllers charged. I wanted this for my Wii but taking off the rubber grip every night to charge was something I didn't want to get into. Trust me, it is worth it in the end.
This charger is easy to set up, it is very fast to charge the packs, it is just convenient. I am not overly impressed with the battery life. I think it could be better and for the 360 packs, it is. I am not sure why they made the Wii so limited but it is what it is. Sometimes you sacrifice for convenience.
MY wife and I are addicted to Mario Galaxy and we play for hours after the little one goes off to bed. The first day of owning this, the battery was dead in 4 hours. I thought to myself, this is kind of lame butafter deeper consideration I thought, this isn't so bad. I had a second charged remote ready to go. So it is worth it.
I know, my review is an excellent rating but my words sound conflicted. The truth is, I am. I am hesitant to give any Wii chargers a good glowing review because of the issues I have had. Right now, this seems like a great solution. Let's see what next week brings.
I would recommend soley on the basis that those of us with kids, know how expensive AA's can get between his toys and mine, we should buy stock in Duracell or Energizer with the amount of money we have given them by now.
Get it. At the very least, you get 4 hours of charge. At most, you save a ton on Batteries.

What's great about it: Takes up very little space, easy to read led lights, just works right
What's not so great: with any rechargeable item eventually the charge wont last as long as in the beginning (after months im sure)
This charging station is the only one you will need. Other people say it doesnt work with the new wiimote plus, they are wrong. I bought the black wiimote plus and the battery worked fine. It is a little tougher to fit in the battery compartment but I got it in without damaging either piece. The battery life is what you would expect for a rechargeable. The easy to read led lights are pretty cool too. Nothing much else I can say other than these do exactly what they say they will. Enjoy!

What's great about it: Easy to set-up, Holds charge well, Lights go off when fully charge, so it doesn't waste energy
What's not so great: Have to remove all parts of the controller before you can charge it
Overall I have used this product for the last two weeks. It is extremely easy to set-up and get going. It has provided me with good battery life and I just put it on the charger when I am done. I like that fact that once it is charged, the lights go off, not to waste energy. The only part that is a little touchy is making sure that the connection points are touching in order to charge. But the charge light is illuminated when the connection is good meaning that it is charging. An item to note, is that i had to take off not only the rubber handgrip, but also the part that attaches to your wrist to keep the remote in our hand before I could get the remotes to charge on the charger.

What's not so great: The charge doesn't last long.
This charger is good for short use, not so great for long uses. The battery takes a short time to charge but does not have a good playing time. If you hate going thourgh so many batterys then this is for just make sure you have more then one remote charged and ready to go because the frist one won't last long.

Bought this for my kids for Christmas. Love it, no problems with it whatsoever. Now I just need to buy the batter packs for my other 2 controllers so we can use 2 while charging the other 2. Will definitely save me money in the long run by not having to buy so many batteries.

What's great about it: look of dock, usefulness
What's not so great: set up, design, look of battery cover
This is a really good idea. It's really annoying--and can get pretty expensive-- when your Wii remotes run out of batter and you have to change the batteries. This way, you can always keep your Wii remotes charged.
When I first started to use it, it disconnected my Wii remotes from my Wii. It took me a while to realize that I had to re synchronize it, not that it wasn't charged. The backing it has for the Wii remotes is also kind of ugly. there is also no place to put the wrist strap on the dock, making plugging the Wii remote into the dock hard.

What's great about it: Fast charge, Good Battery Life.
What's not so great: Poor docking set up. Controler Battery backings don't fit well in guns.
I got this because I did not want to be changing my batteries when ever they died. This looked like a good option.
The Good:
- It works, it charges the batteries fairly quickly and they seem to do a good job at holding thier charge.
- It works, it charges the batteries fairly quickly and they seem to do a good job at holding thier charge.
The Bad:
- The controlers are not held firmly in the charger so you have to play with them sometimes to get them to rest just right on the connectors.
- Also I've found that pulling the wrist straps to the sides rather than letting the controler sit on them works the best.
- Last issue I've had is that the new backing you must put on the controlers will not fit well (if at all) in some of the guns.
- The controlers are not held firmly in the charger so you have to play with them sometimes to get them to rest just right on the connectors.

- Last issue I've had is that the new backing you must put on the controlers will not fit well (if at all) in some of the guns.
Bottom Line: Works fine if you have several controlers and use a couple alot for standard game play but have seperate controlers with regular backings for hunting/shooting games.
