Battery pack for Wii

Hi,
As per the title, can anyone point me in the direction of buying new battery packs for the Wii controller.
I have looked on Ebay but I don't want any from China or HongKong

And now I have the joy of having my foster granddaughter becoming my real granddaughter. Can't ask for anything better

UPDATE,
As of today 180919. my granddaughter is now my official granddaughter, adoption finally granted

    Do you mean the Wii U Gamepad, or Wii remote?

    Wii remote takes normal AA batteries. For the Wii U Gamepad, official ones here (high capacity as well) or on Amazon but don't know if they are official ones.

    The Wii remote, I do know it will take plain batteries but wanted to replace my battery packs as they haven't been used while a while and now will not charge up.

    Just refine your search to UK only

    Even if you refine your search to UK the batteries were most liekly made in China, pretty sure the original ones were made in China.

    Yep, charge station batteries were made in China..

    Just stick some rechargeable AA's in there?
