:confused:

Get the second one (charging station).
But I don't understand why people won't just use rechargable AA batteries? I have a bunch of those lying around, so I don't see a reason to buy a seperate charging station.

Mugen EvOlutioN 04-20-2007 08:12 AM

does the 2nd one comes with 2 battery? i suppose?

Can u charge it while ur Wii is turned off????

honda_h2o 04-20-2007 08:21 AM

48 pack aa only cost me $7 after taxes i dont feel the need to get those rechargeable pack.

Mugen EvOlutioN 04-20-2007 09:14 AM

Ya i know i was just curious who has actually went out to purchase these.

48 pack for $7 dollar? wow wat kind of brand? no name im assuming?

I think regular Duracell copper ones is like 24 pack for likr $8-10 dollar??

Than i tried the more expensive Energizer Titanium one its like 12 for $ 10

And even the most expensive Lithium blue packaged Energeizer? its like 4 pack for $10-12 dollar


I felt spending the $29.99 for 2 recharging battery really isnt tat cheap, becuz average out a single AA battery is around a $1. And if u have 4 controllers u need 2 charging station. $29.99 x2 = $60

How long do these $0.14 batteries last?

Mugen EvOlutioN 04-20-2007 09:53 AM

LOL probably 4-5 hrs

The batteries i use they last about 20-22hrs before they died, tats with rumble feature off tho

jing 04-20-2007 10:32 AM

http://anitec.ca/product/7565/maxell...tery_48_pack_/

$9.95 + tax for a 48 pack of Maxell's

I havn't tried them, but when I'm gonna need to buy batteries.. that's what I'm gonna buy.

honda_h2o 04-20-2007 11:13 AM

actually they are our bestbuy branded Dynex 48 pack

They lasted roughly 15hrs seeing that I play around 2-3hrs a day thats howl ong

they last me as long as a regular duracell battery.
i just find that NiMh batteries dont last at all for nintendo wiimotes. Cause I have a set of Duracell NimH and they die out in like under 5 hrs even faster if i dont always use it.

But i'll try and keep track of how long they last next time when i replace them.

Mugen EvOlutioN 04-20-2007 01:04 PM

Ya keep us updated..so we know which brands to go for


I did notice using those cheap Panasonic battery got it from work lasts me around 13-15 hrs than i need to replace them.

WIth the one i bought it myself, Duracell or Energizer they lasts at least 5-6 hrs more.

Longest it lasts me was around 24-25hrs.

SkinnyPupp 04-20-2007 05:27 PM

The thing about NiMH batteries is that they lose their charge even when not being used. But they should definitely last longer than 5 hours.. Those batteries are probably dead.

CRiXy 04-21-2007 12:01 PM

I bought 4 AA Monster Cable brand rechargeable NiMH from XS Cargo with charger for only $9.99 and they work very well and were fucking cheap! I think they still have them but for a dollar more?

SilveRx 04-21-2007 05:50 PM

anyone got naruto working?
i tried a 2 different iso and none of them loaded

terkan 04-21-2007 09:08 PM

none of the naruto games work gc nor wii~ doesn't matter what chip you got. i guess it's something to do with the region coding by that company~

Mugen EvOlutioN 04-21-2007 09:41 PM

Got SUper paper mario today, beat the first chapter already

fucking fun, much better than the last one~~~


SSX ughh..its ok..not impressed


Metal slug...hmmmmmm soso


the rest of the games i beat it already

Zelda, ELEbits, rayman


Not too much fun games left for me to play, most of the good ones either beat it or nearly done already

Ya i had Naruto, doesnt work..so i return it

Same thing with the Crayon game (tat comic) didnt work too

Mugen EvOlutioN 04-21-2007 09:44 PM

On a sidenote, anyone cared and got the cooling fan from INTEC yet for their Wii? was thinking about gettin it $19.99 not tat i care about the wii if it burns or not....just for the hell out of it. But i think im gonna wait for ASID or the other company to release one...INTEC's quality is usually garbage

:(

SkinnyPupp 04-21-2007 09:59 PM

Why would you waste your money buying a cooler for the Wii? It never consumes more than 20W... it will never need extra cooling.

Mugen EvOlutioN 04-21-2007 10:30 PM

it gets a LITTLE warm when i play for hours....haha



just picky


:D

honda_h2o 04-21-2007 10:55 PM

Mugen spends alot of money on video games, just let him be lol.

My friend burnt this horse racing game lol i don tknow if its good or not though, but its in jap which kinda lost my excitement over slapping a horses's ass or riding on an invisible horse haha

Hyde 04-21-2007 11:51 PM

i notice my wii dont like to read DVDR when warm

terkan 04-22-2007 02:09 AM

my wii is always a little warm though on or off lol so i don't pay any attention to it ~ but if u put the wii on the side for a while it gets burning hot ~ i guess you can't lay the wii down flat?

Mugen EvOlutioN 04-22-2007 06:39 AM

ya i am a gaming nerd now..gosh must be all the stress working full time i suppose haha..


I didnt play muvh video game back than tho..and now im 22 and got into video games

:)


Never tried layin the Wii flate down tho, i suppose its not good for ventilation? just like the xbox 360, its cooler when it lays vertically



So i guess afterall gettin the cooler is worth it, just make the wii to read games



when u say it doesnt like to read, wat exactly happens??? does it say error? and tells u to spit it out and reset? cuz tats wat happened to me yesterday after playing like 3 hrs and i switched a game, than it said error

SkinnyPupp 04-22-2007 07:09 AM

Buying a cooler isn't worth it.

Mugen EvOlutioN 04-22-2007 08:16 AM

SkinnyPupp:

u said Wii only draws 20w from the supply? how about 360 and ps3 than?¡@ cuz those two macines definitely gets much wamer

I have tested the power consumption of today's consoles :D

Mugen EvOlutioN 04-22-2007 09:11 AM

I skimed thru the website, so wat are u saying? more wattage more heat??? not necessary? If a system has a better built/design in the first place it may have better flow of air /ventilation vs another system that has lower wattage being with draw but poor vent.???


I understand Wii hardly uses any power, but it still CAN get WARM cant it...
