1 out of 5 stars Terrible battery charger   July 12, 2007
 5 out of 6 found this review helpful

Don't bother with this junk. This is a subpar battery charger adapted for the Wii. The batteries included do not hold an adequate charge. Go with a better charger designed specifically for the Wii (NYKO) or with a decent NiMH charger. The docking ports only hold the remotes and aren't used for charging.


1 out of 5 stars Save your money   June 21, 2007

This is honestly the biggest waste of money on the internet. Unlike the other reviewers, I didn't even bother plugging this thing in. the packaging is so misleading. Most docking stations will charge your remotes when you place them in the holder. This "docking station" does nothing more than hold your remotes. Also it can only charge 1 battery at a time so if you've got multiple remotes, you're out of luck.

Just save your money and buy something better.



1 out of 5 stars garbage   May 24, 2007

Don't be seduced by the marketing. "Play the wii uninterrupted," the product says. However, I experienced plenty of interruptions- I literally could not play longer than one hour without having to stop and swap battery packs. Perhaps the most important part of this kit... the BATTERY PACKS... is the part that they went cheapo on, and it shows.

I took one of the battery packs apart, and found one clue- the cells used in this thing are literally smaller than AAA batteries! You would be better off spending $20 for a set of rechargable AAs and be done with it.

There is a reason this product is so cheap... in this case, you get what you pay for.



2 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware   May 14, 2007
 4 out of 5 found this review helpful

I bought this charger at a B&M store since the 29.99 one was sold out and I was in need of a battery charging unit .... This was a waste of money. I have had the unit for about 30 hours now and I get approximately 1-2 hours of play out of it before I have to charge the battery again. It takes around 15-30 minutes for the charging indicator to go from red (low charge) to blue (fully charged) which is nice, but the "fully charge" batteries last for less that 2 chapters in Paper Mario before needing another charge. I am going to take this back and try the Nyko charger to see if it is just a common issue with the batteries.

Overall, VERY disappointed with the Intec product.

This unit does not charge the batteries in the controllers "displayed" in this unit, you must remove the batteries and connect them to the front slot. This means you can only charge one battery at a time. The "display" slots are not very well designed. Only plus--it is powered off the USB port of your Wii (or any powered USB port.)
