wii remote battery life low ?

hey just wondering how everyone elses battery life is ?

im using pure energy rechargeable batteries and well they dont seem to be lasting very long at all. ill do a full charge and play about 2 hours and stop, it still has 4 bars when i stop playing but if i try to play tomorrow with the wii remote the batteries are dead

 at first i thought it was my batteries, but i about the asid wii rechargeable batteries and their doing the same thing after one charge

ne one else having this problem ???

Make sure the batteries are secure in the Wiimote.

Also check what power they are. I have 2 sets of 2500's and they last a long time, if you have like 600's they'll last only one quarter of the time mine do. 

I've found that recharable batteries are rubbish for the wiimote, a pair of them cost me £13 and on a full charge last maybe 5 hours.

Then i can go pick up a cheap pack of non rechargables, 20 for 99p and they last for days. 

hey thanx for the advice, but i wonder by my wii rechargeable packs are doing the same thing.

it says to charge it for 6 hours for a full chargewith a usb cord to a computer, ill do that, play 2 hours, leave the packs in the remote for a day come back and their dead.

 hmmmmmmmmm

these are what i got

I don't get the low battery message till I am at one bar and usually 15 minutes left. Your batteries are just awfull so they are giving off a false signal of how much power they have left.

Btw only certain games will give the message. Most will just lose connection and go into pause mode when the wiimote signal is lost.

seems like everyone has a different lifetime for their batteries, anyone used the rechargeable packs ? and how long was their time with play ?

NOT AA bateries!!!!

Get rechargeable batteries and charge them weekly. You'll save money that way. Alkalines keep a pretty good charge. Get a couple of USB rechargeables (a rechargable battery that charges via USB drive). 

There are many different rechargeable batteries. Certain brands are better then others. Also recharageable batteries have a rating on them. Certain ratings are very good for cameras for example while others if you put them in a camera they would be sucked dry in 15 minutes. In a tv remote they would last months however.

I 've been using the batteries that came with my wiimotes in thier boxes, but i use the first one the most, and its lasted over 15 hours now.. i kinda got addicted to SPM and yeah they r still at 4 bars! i dont know aobut u guys but my wiimotes dont suck power at all. maybe the newly manifactured ones have a slight bug fix?

I had the exact same prob i was using rechargable new batteries and they lasted for less then a day :evil:

My problem completely Vanished when i changed batteries to Durecel Non Rechargeables.

Try it out :D

puddingdemon wow i just thought it was me,

 looks like every wii remote sucks the life of out batteries differently

 i think ill try to go back to non-rechargeable batteries for a bit.

i usually used IKEA AA batteries and it got me about 20hours and their only 10 for 3.00bucks CAN

they should just make wii remotes like the PS3 controllers, built in battery with usb charge, my PS3 controllers last me like 2 weeks of gaming 4 hours a day

i use duricell rechargables and they last for about 40 hours of zelda and zelda ONLY. i think some games / channes use more power than zelda so it will be diffrent if you dont only play zelda for 40 hours in 4 days 0-0

Rumble and the nunchuck take up most of the battery life.
