    Wii mote charger

    Is there an embargo on these or something? I know a few companies are releasing docking station/chargers but they all seem to have elease dates of march. Does anyone know where i can pick one up? Have already been through one set of batteries and ive only had the thing a day. (arms ache like you wouldnt belive as well, boxing is pretty knackering)

    one set in a day!?

    Mine lasted a whole 2 weeks!

    make sure u leave it on a stable flat service when your not using it. Its possible that its not going to sleep either.

    But i know what u mean, i've got through about 12 cells so far (but that is with 2 wiimotes)

    When im not using it? What is this not using the wii you speak of?

    THey were pretty craptacular cheapy batteries to be honest, didnt notince the ones that came with it till after theyd gone and i was looking for the manual. HTought it was a bit cheap not to include any.

    I have gone through one set so far.

    Play a couple of hours a night on it.

    I really want the charger station.

    Im hoping nintendo are gonna make their own charger station as although third party are good I`d rather trust a proper nintendo one

    Definite ftw on re-chargeables.

    And also by the way, leaving the Nunchuck plugged in drains the batteries pretty quick. I left mine plugged into the Wii-mote over a weekend (Friday-Monday) and by Monday afternoon they were dead. Otherwise I am still on my first set.

    nyko are releasing a 3rd party charge station and batteries soon, looks like a deal to me, as there is also now a rubber grip on the back of the 'mote

    im still on my first set, and had it a few days before xmas, but not played too much because of work
