Charging station for Wiimotes

Post by Kim_Kaphwan »

Automatically translated from French.

Hello everyone, I'd like to buy a charging station for my wiimotes. I've already gone around the sites that sell them and for now I'm leaning towards this product:

It's an induction station made by Bigben. It charges the wiimotes even if they have a silicone cover. There's an on/off button and the station works even with the Wii off.
The only question mark is the 2 900 mAh NiMH batteries. I don't know how that translates in terms of play time. I'm worried they won't last more than 2 hours.
Best price found: 25 euros with shipping.

What do you think? And of course, do you know of something better.
Looking forward to your advice.

900mAh is not much :? I'd rather use a set of rechargeable AA batteries type 2200 to 2700 mAh with a classic charger.

I'm in the same situation as you, I have Duracell AA 2000 mAh rechargeable batteries. I'd rather not have to buy a product that ends up lasting less time than my current batteries.

I have exactly the same one, in white. Same brand, same battery and I'm fully satisfied with it.

No more hassle getting the Wiimote properly placed on its stand like with my old charger, thanks to this one's induction.
As for battery charging time, well I'm not complaining about that either. I couldn't tell you exactly how many hours they last. The only thing I can tell you is that I find they last long enough for my taste. They last several days with the use I get out of them (my kids and me). Sorry, that probably doesn't help you :P
