    nice wiimote battery solution

    and 4% at quidco.

    Saves the hassle of finding your charger..
    Got my first set today, and am charging them on my pc. Tho im pretty sure they would charge on the usb ports on the wii itself which would make for a pretty convenient solution for wiimote battery action

    Yeah i've been using this one for a couple of weeks now. Not had any problems with it, always keep the motes on charge when I'm not using it. Its like I've forgotten about the original problem

    Good to hear positive comments on the joytech charger, have been considering getting it as a b'day pressy for my brother-in-law.

    That's his birthday sorted then

    A family member had the Joytech charger station and almost had a disaster with it, they found it was overheating the WiiMotes to the point that it'd charred the underside and started to melt the plastic. If they hadn't come home when they did it probably would've started a fire. It was probably a faulty unit but nonetheless it made me think twice about purchasing one.

    I have the joytech charger station and I havent had any problems with it - that story with the overheating is a bit worrying though. The only downside Ive come across is that it draws power from the wii power supply so it has to be located by the wii. No big deal though.
