I'm getting sick of buying batteries.

Could any one recommend me a certain brand of rechargeable batteries?

Thanks.

I have Rayovac. They're not the best but they get the job done. Get Energizer.

I have almost forgotten that really annoying feeling of batteries going flat, using 2 duel changing stations allows me to keep on playing without ever worrying that my batteries are flat. Just plug them into the USB port at the back of Wii.

They have a single USB hub so you don't have to worry about running out of USB ports, it includes the battery packs.

No don't get rechargeables, it's beter for the environment to get regular batteries.

Yeah it is sooo great. My friend has 2 (4 Wiimotes), and I have 1, and "Wii" are both satisfied.

i have that there is only one minior problem i have with it. when you use the zapper the controler does not lock into place. the controler will often get loose when i reloade it and shake the gun too hard.
