![]() ![]() Battery 1 tested with absolutely no charge whatsoever but on the other hand battery 2 tested with a full charge. Test 1 - Battery power: I first removed the battery pack from the Wii remote and used a simple battery tester (re-charge/fully charged type device) to check the state of each battery in the pack. *Being as I do not want to go out and buy more induction battery packs as I am certain I will continue to see this same flaw, I decided to do a little testing. (I don't play the Wii very much) To find that the battery pack was hosed after only 3 or so charges left me quite angry as well as surprised to even see the "Energizer" name branded on such an embarrassing device. Now keep in mind, I have only charged this particular Wii remote maybe 4 times MAX since I bought this charging system. Especially those Xbox 360 fans out there. Now anyone that works with ANY electronics at all can deduce that "red flashing light".is NEVER a good thing. ![]() Well, yesterday I placed one of my Wii remotes onto the induction panel only to find that in about 5-10 minutes time, a flashing red light caught my attention. Whether you have the motion plus attachment and/or the rubber protective Wii remote cover installed, you simply lay the controller down as indicated by the product image on the box and voila. I loved the fact that you could simply just rest any Wii remote (that has included induction battery installed) directly on to this flat panel device and the charging begins. ![]() Battery life is good, recharge time is quick, and the magnetized charging surface adds a touch of cool for good measure.Approximately 2 months ago I had purchased the Energizer 2x Induction Charger (flat panel) for my Wii console. Overall, I can safely recommend this product as a solid purchase for anyone looking for an attractive induction charger at a decent price. The system I reviewed in March took a long time to recharge – overnight, pretty much - whereas this Energizer system takes about 3-4 hours. Inductive charging generally takes a bit longer than standard recharging systems but the technology has come a long way over the past year or so. Recharge time is refreshingly quick for an induction system. And with inductive charging, you’re able to charge your Wii remotes without taking off any protective silicone jackets or the MotionPlus add-on. If you’ve been using regular batteries for your Wii remotes up until now, you’ll definitely appreciate switching to rechargeable ones over the long haul. The battery packs are nice and hefty and hold a charge for about as long as standard AA batteries – maybe a tad shorter, but not enough to make a huge difference. I can tell you that without knowing the price beforehand, I assumed it’d retail for around $50 when I first took it out of the box and set it up. Simply place the remote on the pad and watch it wiggle itself into the correct charging position like magic.Īt $30, the system is priced somewhere between entry-level and mid-range Wii remote chargers. It’s a pretty neat feature that’ll add some much needed class to “Busch Light and Wii Bowling Thursdays” that have made your house so popular. The NiMH battery packs slips into the Wii controller and is magnetized to align with the special charging area on the black pad you see in the above photo. This is an inductive charging system, meaning that there’s no need to connect any cables between the charging pad and the remote. Available starting today, the $30 Energizer Flat Panel 2X Charging System from Performance Designed Products is an inexpensive, quick, and cool way to juice up your Wii remotes. ![]()
