4 out of 5 stars Didn't realize you couldn't charge just the battery   December 2, 2008
I bought this product thinking I could keep an extra battery charged in case one of the two others I owned died. Unfortunately I failed to understand the battery needed to be in the wii remote to charge it. You can charge them by switching out the battery then charging it and putting it aside but that's more of a pain than I'm willing to go through. I'll just save it until I get another remote.


5 out of 5 stars easy to use, more game time for enjoying   October 22, 2008
very sweet stuff that easily put on you remote, and works just greartly with the Nyko remote charge station


5 out of 5 stars Great rechargeable batter (if you already have the base station)   October 7, 2008
  3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This Nyko Wii Battery Kit is great if you already have the Wii Charge Station base. The base (sold separately) comes with two of these battery kits plus the base. Since the Wii can use FOUR Wiimotes, you'll need two additional batteries, and this Battery Kit fits the bill very well.

The batteries hold their charge quite well and for a long time. They also don't take TOO long to charge up.
Unfortunately, you can't set the batteries in the charger by themselves: They have to be attached to a Wiimote. Also, as Nintendo now ships the Wiimotes with a plastic cover, or "glove", you have to peel the "glove" at least halfway off of the Wiimote to place on the base. It can also be a little tricky to get the Wiimote to sit on the base because the Wrist strap gets in the way. It's not difficult, but it could have been a better design.

All in all I love this Battery Kit and the sold separately Nyko Charge Station. It does exactly what it's supposed to do: Give you a decent rechargeable battery for the Wiimote. My only concern is that the base could have been designed a bit better.
The Battery Kit itself, for which this review is for, is perfect!

5 out of 5 stars Nice accessory !   September 29, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I already had a Nyko charge station before buying an extra battery kit and it is a great accessor. It was the end of old batteries at home !

A wiimote can work up to 8 hours with the power of this accessory. For sure the batteries duration diminush with the time but I can still use my old 1 year and a half batteries for 4-5 hours. (and I used them a lot : Maybe 250 recharges ! LOL)

It won't last for 5 years I think ... but I only had to open my wiimote 2 times after buying my wii ; 1 time for the batteries coming the wii remote (for 3 days) and the second time when I bought the nyko kit !



4 out of 5 stars Batery Works For At Least A Year Or SO   September 29, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

The batery works great, except that the batery can only be rechargable for at least a year or so. Until then, everything works fine, so don't think this batery can be infinitely be recharged.

Same goes for the Wii chargers.
