I have to support the previous review, although my problems with it were different. Mine didn't have instructions either and so I put the remote in one way and the nunchuck on it. There was a green light if nothing was in or if the nunchuck was on the remote. The light turned red if just the remote was set in. I tried both ways to see if it would charge with no change. I looked up the company online and saw no reference to instructions or common problems.
I took it back to the game store, which usually counsels against buying non-certified products. They were happy to exchange it and recommended NYCO's charger.
Worst Wii Charger ever! August 21, 2007

There are many things wrong with this product. First of all, the packaging didn't even come with instructions. So it doesn't take a genius to figure out how it works; just put the battery pack in the remote, place it on the dock, and supposedly the red light on the dock is supposed to turn blue once the charging is complete. Well the light never turned blue! And since there were no instructions, I had no idea how long it should take for a full charge. There wasn't even a manual for this product on the Mad Catz website!! I left it in the charging stand for quite a while until realizing something was wrong, and checked the battery status on my Wii, and it said the battery was full. That confirmed that the LED light is definitely broken. Then comes when I actually tried playing with the remote with the newly installed battery pack.
If you purchased a wii remote charger and the only problem was that the it wasn't giving you a complete charge with a limited amount of play, then consider yourself lucky because this product really messed up my wii remote! As soon as I tried playing with it, the cursor wouldn't stand still, it was off center, started making erratic and jerky movements, and sometimes wouldn't appear on screen at all. At first I thought it was something wrong with the sensitivity, and that the new batteries had somehow thrown off the Sensor Bar settings, but no matter what I adjusted the Sensitivity to, the Wii Remote's performance would not improve. I even tried re-synching it. I panicked and immediately took out the battery pack and replaced it with fresh, non-rechargeable batteries, and found that the Wii remote went back to almost being normal, though still a bit jerky.
I then tried to put the battery pack in my second wii remote just in case the problem was with my wiimote and not the battery pack, but the second wiimote's cursor started being jerky and erratic also, so I was forced to conclude that it was definitely the fault of this product. And the worst part is that it permanently damaged my first wiimote. It was working perfectly when I first got it along with the console, but after being charged in this dock for too long, it somehow malfunctioned and even with fresh batteries becomes a bit jerky from a distance now.
I called Wii customer service to ask what to do about my wiimote, and they said that they do not recommend anyone buying charging stations for the Wii because they are not manufactured by Nintendo (don't have the Nintendo seal on them) and these things are bound to happen. I asked if Nintendo was going to release its own charger, but they said not in the near future. Apparently Wiimotes are not meant to be charged; I guess the simple solution would be to just buy rechargeable batteries.
Don't waste your money on this piece of junk! It caused my Wiimote to malfunction, came without instructions, and the light didn't work! What a waste!!
