Rechargable batteries

Hey everyone! Relatively new Wii owner here. I've got two Nunchuk/Wiimote combos and the first of them finally has drained batteries. The last time I was at Best Buy, I saw a whole bunch of rechargable battery docks and such. I'm wondering, what do you guys use for batteries? Regular rechargable batteries that you can buy at a drug store, or one of these dock things? Any suggestions? Thanks.

I bought this Nyko Charger about three years ago, still on the origional set of batteries which still hold a good charge. I believe that it gets the best reviews ovrall too.

I bought a bunch of rechargeable batteries when I got the Wii three years ago. I had a drawer for charged batteries and a drawer for dead ones. My plan was that whenever I needed more batteries I'd reach into the charged drawer, and charge the dead batteries at my leisure. The problem was that the batteries wouldn't hold their charge for more than a couple days, so my charged drawer ended up being full of dead or nearly dead batteries. I got sick of this system, so I switched to regular batteries. I buy a 20-pack every-other month or so, for 8 or 9 bucks. The convenience of always having fully charged batteries is worth the extra cost to me.

That's what I'm using as well. The amount of playtime you can get from a single charge is pretty good. Just finished my first playthrough of New Super Mario Bros. Wii on a single charge; had to have been a good 15-20 hours. That's definitely much better when compared to my PS3 controller.

I use the Duracell Rechargable batteries. I've used them since January 2010 and I haven't had to replace them yet.

Has anyone used the EnergizerInduction Charge Station for the Wii? I would like to know how well it works?

I've used them since January 2010

Yep, my name is John Conner. I'm from the future, and I've beenusing Duracell Rechargables for my Wii, and Super Wii since Jan 2010. I can tell you they're very effective, so effective, duracell is what powers the machines. So whether its to power your Wii Remote to play some games, or powering robots to enslave the human race... it just has to work.
