![]() ![]() Currently, a four pack of Energizer rechargeable batteries cost about $13 at Amazon and a kit with 2 AA batteries and the recharger go for about $20 at. While the system is nice and quite functional, value is a key factor. Compared to another set of Energizer rechargeable batteries I normally use, the included battery packs are about half the weight, making the Wii Remote a bit lighter. Of course, the charge is a bit slow compared to normal rechargeable batteries, but this is a reasonable trade-off given the ease of use.Īnother nice feature of the battery packs are their weight. After my first full charge, I was able to play continuously for three hours without even a one bar reduction in charge, according to the Wii. While the battery packs do take a while to charge, they seem to hold a charge for an extremely long time. Because induction charging uses electromagnets, players will know they placed the Wii Remote in the proper location as the mat pulls the battery pack towards a particular location. This means players can position the mat in an inconspicuous location and upon completing play for the day, place the Wii Remotes on the mat to charge when not in use. ![]() Players need only to attach the battery packs to the Wii Remotes and lay them on the mat to charge. Included in the package are four battery packs which include the battery door casing, as well as the induction mat which is not much bigger than about five Wii Remotes laid side-by-side. Induction charging, for those unfamiliar, is a form of wireless energy transfer that works with electromagnets.Īs you might imagine, this system provides for a slick and simple way to charge all of the batteries for your Wii Remotes.

It has worked great with all of our chargers, original and motion plus, sleeved or not, and our colored remotes blue, black and white without any issues! It has made a huge difference in making game time fun again as we don’t have to worry about dead controllers and going through batteries like water! It was extremely frustrating so I was thrilled when my new chargers arrived. When my husband and I would go to play the Wii with our kids, every single time we would have to search around to find controllers since they didn’t have a set place to be put away and we would always have to change batteries in at least one of the controllers. During the 3-4 weeks we didn’t have a working charger anymore it was painful trying to play the Wii. We were able to review two of the Energizer Flat Panel 2x Induction Charging System that work to recharge Wii Controllers. It was so extremely convenient and nice to have a charging base with rechargeable battery packs that meant we never burnt through batteries and our controllers were ALWAYS fully charged! We were all sad when our first induction charger stopped responding so I reached out Energizer to see if we could work with them again and replace our old charger base. This charging base lasted for a full year with continuous use but finally quit working. ![]() Over a full year ago I was able to review Energizer’s 4x Induction Charging system for my Wii Remotes. ![]()
