REVIEW:Intec REchargable Batteries and dock for WiiRemote

The Intec Rechargeable Batteries and Remote docking station is one of the cheaper rechargeable systems for the Wiimotes. It plugs into the wii's USb port for charging and at first look seems to be nicer and better looking than the others out there. All these benefits disappear the second you open the package. The batteries can only be charged if you REMOVE them from the Wiimote. also it reduces your Wiimote to two AAA batteries instead of AA batteries. Meaning you will be charging a LOT MORE. This would not be a problem if it was a drop in charge like the other brands, but this setup will guarantee dead batteries as kids will not remove the battery and put it on the charger. (charges ONE battery at a time.)

I strongly reccomend NOT getting the Intec brand Wii gear. it's really badly designed and a complete waste of money. Get the drop in charger type where all you do is set the remote in the stand to charge.
