Wiimote batteries

zxcv784

Hi,

Few months back I bought a wii with two controllers and a load of games, anyway as I wanted to play it straight away I just bought some duracell AA's for the wiimote - now they are getting low...

So I have the choice of buying:
i) a dock with those rechargeable battery packs for the wiimotes, or
ii) a battery charger + some rechargeable batteries

Opinions?

Was going to go for a dock but all of them on amazon have negative reviews about poor electrical connectors/poor battery time....

What do others do?

Thanks

we have 2 remotes.
we bought a very cheap stand with 2 AA rechargable batteries included, and the charger built in. We also bought 2 battery packs (£5 each Asda). As something is always being charged we've not had any issues requiring new batteries..but we've only had it all since Xmas so it can all go wrong

Or get some rechargeable batteries but id be inclined to get the dock that will charge the remotes as that would surely be cheaper than a battery charger and rechargeable batteries

that's what I was thinking...

I went for a charger and rechargable batteries for two reasons. Firstly the battery charger cna be used to charge batteries for other things and secondly some of the early docking station devices had a habit of frying the electronics in the Wii remotes. To be fair I haven't heard of that issue lately so the more recent ones may be OK.
