justjessie99 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 ok my opinion, is no. problem #1......if you want to play, and your remote is low on juice, you have to stop and place on the charging dock. (or buy extra battery paks:( $$$$$) #2 if you have 4 remotes, like we do, you will need the buy the 4 slot charger.... (much more expensive:($$$$$$ ) The way to go is RECHARGEABLE AA batteries.. and battery charger. My parents did the AA batteries and charger for their Wii also ... it works great! Here is an example... you are playing , and the batteries are low in one of the controllers, that one is now out of order while it sits on the charging dock:( , but if you throw in the AA rechargables you can continue to play , while the other AA's recharge.... it's cheaper than buying the extra battery paks, and you can use the extra AA around the house in a pinch.. LOL Once they die down, just swap the out again. I even believe Walgreens has the AA rechargables on sale this week. Good luck !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elite2058 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 thank you for the input, I will take your advice and buy the rechargeable AA batteries instead. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlee745 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Justjessie, thank you so much for that information. I bought a wii for my 3 kids for Christmas and purchased three controllers and was unsure which way to turn when it came to purchasing the batteries. Does the controllers go thru the batteries quick? How many batteries should I purchase for the sets of controllers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaInNC Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 It depends on how much you play the Wii. I bought 2 packs of rechargeable batteries and just keep the charger by the Wii. Keep both sets charged at all times, replace them when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallwood Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Good rechargeable AA's are the way to go. Think about what you use AA's for - digital cameras, CD/MP3 players, game controllers, etc. I even put together a rechargable AA battery pack for my portable vehicle DVD player, so it could also be used on plane rides, etc. (lasts about 2 hours).

coici1 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I bought 3. I was happy with 20 bucks, 12 is much better. This comes with the rechargeable batteries as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallwood Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Walmart stores also has a charger with two batteries (900mAh?) for $19.97. Just an FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
