What do you use/like as a Wii remote rechargeable option?

I prefer something with a base that you plug the whole remote into rather than the removable battery option.

I picked up one of those induction charge units. Makes it easier to charge because of the wii motion plus.

I got the dual charger from monoprice. It comes with replacement battery covers so you slide the remote in and it chargers that way.

Yup I like the induction chargers as well. Don't have to take off the cover to charge them.

the one i posted you don't either. just put it in the craddle and it charges. though just laying it on a mat is good to.

That looks perfect. I will be near a Best Buy later tonight and will pick one up.

I'm using that kit and bought two extra batteries. You don't even have to take the silicon sleeve off the remotes. It just charges through them. Awesome bit of tech and by far the most convenient way to keep remotes charged that I have found.

That one is an induction charger and the remotes fit without removing the rubber covers?

Wiimotion plus messes up my cousins dock to charge the battery packs, I'd love one that worked with wiimotionplus + rubber wrap

I just have the cheap generic cradle, it works fine, but I don't play Wii very often so usually they are uncharged which is a pain ;)

Which one did you buy? The links given above are broken for me.

EDIT: I think I figured it out. Was it this one?

Links are FUBARed.

I got the "Rocketfish™ - Wii Induction Charger Bundle for Nintendo Wii" from Best Buy.

I got the last one they had, and it was strapped to a bunch of other stuff as a "bundle". The salesperson "unbundled" it for me. ;)

I have kids, nephews, a niece and all their friends. Uncharged Wii remotes are grounds for capital punishment in my house.

D'OH. o_O

Link worked for me earier, but yeah it doesn't anymore. I think the BB site doesn't like the redirect from dynamite data. whatever.

I know what it is now. Thanks.:thumbsup:

Oh wow, that's sweet. If I ever get a Wii, that's what I'm going to get for my remotes :)

My ex has the ones where you plug them in, and to be honest, the plastic thing that clips it in or whatever is cheap and it broke, so no to those.

As annoying as the Wii MotionPlus condoms are to deal with, I use vanilla rechargeable AAs since they're also shared by my assorted XBox 360 and Rock Band controllers.
