What's great about it: Easy, last long time
What's not so great: The price for four controllers!
We've had these chargers for the past six years and they have finally started to fade. I'm replacing them with the same everything! The initial buy in seems steep, but they last!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: No more changing batteries
What's not so great: nothing I can think of
In the long run, they're a lot cheaper than buying AA batteries. We had the first pair for about two and a half years before having to replace the battery packs.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: black grip on back to match black controller
What's not so great: the white border around the grip.. would be better all black
i bought this product as a result of having purchased the same set up for my other two controllers so i knew they were dependable and for the price this was hard to pass up
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Comes in different colors
What's not so great: Does work with other charges
I bought a couple of these because I needed another battery and the different colors looked nice. However, nowhere on the packaging does it say that it WILL NOT WORK WITH other charges and you should cough up more money to buy our charger. I will never buy a Nyko product, this is like Apple... proprietary hardware.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: the idea of it working
What's not so great: the recharable batteries won't fit 2 different recharging systems so they are useless
The Nyko battery kit for nintendo Wii, I thought the idea of recharging the batteries would help my grandkids out on the cost of playing the Wii, but I didn't see anything listed that you had to buy thier recharger to get it to work. All of the other recharging systems and batteries have two prongs for charging and the nyko has three prons and isn't compatiable with any other system but thiers. I have three other charging systems, and they won't charge the Nyko batteries, so that was a waste of money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Lasts long, can keep battery in remote
Best purchase made for the Wii. This battery lasts a long time. Charging doesn't take long and you can keep the battery inside the remote. Back has a good grip. If you only buy one accessory for the Wii, buy one for each remote you have.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: long battery life. short charge time. inexpensive
What's not so great: none
these batteries are great! me and my friends played Wii all day, about 10 hours actually, and the batteries never died. then, at the end of the day, all i did was plug them in and when i woke up they were ready. but they don't need that long to charge. once, i needed to charge one up in the middle of the day and it only took about an hour and a half. these things are great! plus they have a grip on the bottom so the controller doesn't get as slippery. then to top it all off, these are inexpensive too!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: It Recharges....they're color coded
We have 3 remotes & will eventually have 4. We have a charger station & 2 remotes that are rechargable, but want all of them to be...my hubby & I kept getting ours mixed up...so now ours are color coded & the 2 extras will use the grey covers that came with the charger station...Now we have no problems with which remote is which.

Review 14 for Nyko Battery Kit for Nintendo Wii

Good Accessory to the Dock

PROS:
- Don’t have to buy another Dock to charge more than 2 Wiimotes.
- Includes a rubberized battery cover that acts as a grip.
CONS:
- Had a problem with the rechargeable battery insert.
- If you use Wii gloves then you must take them completely off prior to charging.
Provides an additional rechargeable battery insert and rubberized battery cover that allows you to charge another Wiimote with an existing battery charger dock instead of having to purchase another dock.
The rechargeable battery insert that was provided seemed to be defective. I put the insert into the remote and let it charge. After it showed the status of charged on the dock indicator I tried to use the remote and it acted as if it were dead. I finally figured out that the battery insert had two gold clips that were not coming in contact with the positive and negative clips on the Wiimote. I carefully bent the gold clips slightly on the battery insert and the Wiimote has been working ever since.
I would recommend this to a friend!
