 Wii rechargable battery pack for balance board June 24, 2008

This is a good product. I love not having to change the batteries all the time, they get to be expensive. All I have to do is plug it in when I'm not using it and it's always ready.
 Short cord, short life June 24, 2008

I was excited to receive the battery pack, but after the first two days with it, I'm very disappointed. The instructions state to charge the battery for 12 hours or more before first use, and then full charges thereafter can be obtained in 5-7 hours. I guess it never said how long a full charge would last, but it was dead after about 35 minutes the first day, and 17 minutes the second day. I'm back on alkalines while I look for another battery pack.
 A Must for Wii Fit! June 22, 2008

If you plan on using your Wii Fit Balance Board often, then you definately need the rechargable battery pack. It recharges off of the Wii unit, so no need to plug it into a wall outlet.
Good to have June 21, 2008

It is a good thing to have.
Plug it in when wii is not in use, to get a full charge.
Unplug to play with a 100% full battery power.
IF the adaptor cord were longer.... you could leave in while you play... but the cord is to short to be able to do that.
This Battery Pack is a MUST for Wii Fit, No Copper Tops Required June 17, 2008

Being a Wii Fit owner and user and going through batteries rapidly in the first couple days I saw this product and said I must have it. It isn't expensive when you think of the $100s that would be spent on batteries. The batteries made for digital and games are even more costly than so called regular batteries.
This product is great, a requirement for hours of Wii fit use and simple USB connection for charging. Yes, the chord should be longer, however, just grab via Amazon the USB cable extension (9.8 feet) and you should have no issue with connection due to distance from Wii unit to computer or other USB powered device.
For me all of my Wii, HDTV, sound system, desktop, and laptop are all in close proxsimity living in a NYC apartment.
Simple fixes for the the short chord are as follows:
1) if you have a laptop and being they are quite mobile, keep it nearby and thus you can connect the charger to the laptop.
2) Or plug it directly into the Wii console as for me the console is close enough with the chord to do so.
3) for $4-$6 look for the "Cables To Go" brand of the USB 10Ft extension. Link here - Cables To Go - 26686 - 3M (9.8ft) USB A Male to A Female Extension Cable (White)
I have a few and the are great when you need to have equipment either further apart or guests are there and the extra length is needed etc.
In any case I suggest and recommend this product for all Wii fit owners, well worth the $20 price tag for the 100's saved over time with environment killing batteries.
