As long as they're rated 2500 or higher you're good

Stay away from Wiimote chargers, they're not worth it on any level.

Listen to me...Buy Sanyo "eneloop" rechargeable batteries. They are the best rechargeable batteries on the market. Look them up on amazon and read for yourself.

I got the charger with 4 AA batteries, and an additional 4 pack. That's enough for two wiimotes, my wireless sensor bar, and my wavebird. I might buy another 4 pack if the wireless nunchuk uses AAs.

I have eneloop and they are fantastic! I have used them for a couple months. They come pre-charged and stay charged for an insane amount of time!

Yah, I have Energizer rechargeable batteries and they work great... and yah, stay away from wii charging stations; they cost just as much if not more and only serve for one purpose.

Think of it as a power rating.

Batteries rated at 2500 will last much much longer then batteries rated 1200

Hey, I was wondering the exact same thing. I guess I will go with a rechargeable battery instead of the charger.

I did some research on the eneloop, looks interesting. Do u guys think it would work better with the eneloop charger?

I think the advantage of the eneloop batteries are they last longer on the shelf once charged. Using them in the Wiimote so often I don't see that coming into play.

I suppose if you just had one or two wiimotes this would be the case. However, you would be surprised how convienient it is to put them in my 3rd and 4th remotes (which arn't used as often) as well as my four wavebirds. They don't lose charge, it's sweet.

That's my opinion as well. Plus the Eneloop AA batteries seem to be limited to 2000mAh. That's still better than the silly Nyko charge station's battery packs, of course. I think the highest capacity you can get is best, since the Wiimote is an often-used device. I purchased a 10 slot smart charger that came with 10 2500mAh AA cells. The charger will do AAA cells as well, which I may be ordering soon (for a wireless keyboard I use). These came from an online store that specializes in rechargeable batteries and I think the price was quite good. My brother and I are currently using these to keep all of our Wii and indoor mini helicopter remotes always at the ready. :D

Meh i use GP 2700 mAh nimh rechargeables since three days ago, they still seem full.
I've scanned all the threads for batteries.
They basically say this:
2500+ mAh is always good. Pay attention to this cause i used cheap ones first and they lasted for like ten minutes because they were 800 mAh or so.
Nimh (nikkel metal hydride) is better than NiCd (nikkel cadmium) though it was never explained why so i don't know.
Duracell, Energizer, and those Eneloop things work fine. Maybe GP too then..

Get Duracell or Energizer. I don't have these, I have some other brand, but mine don't last but maybe 6-10 hours.
