Video Game Reviews of Wii Energizer Flat Panel 4x Induction Charger
Customer Review: Was skeptical, but glad I purchased
Summary: 5 Stars
***Update***
The 2nd spot gave up the ghost. Back to the store for a quick exchange and everything has been working smoothly with no signs of malfunction. I would still buy this thing - my friends either have one now or have it on order.
Overall, this system is an excellent way to keep your Wii remotes in action. It charges the batteries just by sitting there - even if the remotes are slightly out of position. By slightly, I mean 1/2 an inch or less from their designed position typically gets it charging. I have experienced LONG play times between charges (several days), but that was strictly to test the batteries. Just like everybody else, I now return the remotes to the pad when finished playing.
Batteries:
The factory batteries are standard triple A batteries (smaller than double A's which normally go in the remotes), but they are lower mA (milli-amps) than what you can purchase - even from Energizer. If one or both batteries begin to fade, pop off the charging pack, two small screws later and a quick battery swap gets you back in business. I've tried it with different NiMH rechargeable batteries and they seem to work just as well as the factory batteries. Since they are triple A, the remotes are slightly lighter than normal, but that's not a bad thing unless you are using them as dumb-bells.
Charging:
I keep my Wii-motion plus and silicone sleeves on the remotes at all times (unless playing Mario Kart) and the pad has no trouble charging through the sleeves. At first, one of the charging positions was giving me trouble, but the unit was also charging up all four remotes from complete drain. 3 positions would charge normally, and one of the interior positions was flickering and would sometimes not show any charge symbol. Now that the remotes are beyond the initial charge, I haven't noticed any issues with any positions. The system has some magnets to help align the battery pack properly for charging, but it doesn't do much aligning when you have the thick silicone sleeves on the remotes. It's enough to the get the job done so you just have to get used to placing them lined up correctly. Also, from reading other more intelligent reviews, this type of charging system (induction) consumes more power to recharge the batteries than traditional contact points - so tree huggers beware!
Looks:
The pad is thinner than I expected. It's only about 3/8" thick. The chrome accents and slick black colors make this tasty treat look great anywhere. Plus I have a couple of black remotes which make it that much cooler!! Nerdiness aside, the battery packs all have the white back to them. Fortunately the black silicone sleeves are opaque, so you won't see the odd looking 80's flash back of black and white on the remote.
Knowing what I know now about this charging system, I would definitely do it over again. This is the best looking and functioning charger system I've ever seen for the Wii remotes.
