| 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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  | |

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

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

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...  | |
