Wii remote power cord?

Only 30 hours?! ****! I'm gunna NEED some of those USB batteries!

I was actually just reading a review on those USB-charging batteries and apparently they take 5 HOURS to fully charge, which is pretty bad. You could buy atleast a 4-pack of larger capacity, faster charging AAs and a charger for about the same price as two of these USB batteries. Cool concept, though.

Oh, and while searching for a source on this, look what I found:

You can read more about them here.

These would be perfect for Wii if Nintendo doesn't make a battery pack because you could get four and have two plugged into the Wii's back USB ports and when the ones in the wiimote are running low, just switch 'em.:yesnod:

that is the coolest thing ive ever seen

I agree that buying an actual charger with rechargeable batteries is the preferred option; but you gotta admit that USB-recharging batteries are a bit more universal. You could recharge those ANYWHERE.

Yeah, I agree. I find it odd that these USB-rechargable batteries haven't taken off and become popular. I guess most people just haven't heard of them.

^^and they are currently only available in the UK.

 

[LolygagerX]

that was probably just because they didn't have it completely set u yet

They did that so that nobody could get away with a free Wiimote..

Sorry to bring back a dead thread, but alkaline batteries are not rechargeable batteries. That means the wiimote will NOT come with rechargeable batteries; you'll have to buy your own.
