Product Description: Why burn through expensive batteries when you can keep your Wii-motes fully charged at all times. The included rechargeable batteries can be completely charged over 300 times and the lighted stand lets you know when the charge is finished.

Don't buy this product, it doesn't work. I bought two before I figured it out, after calling Nintendo's customer service. When using this units re-chargeable batteries you get a error message that "Wii Remote is disconnected" after about 10 minutes of use. Save your money and just replace the regular batteries when they go dead. Wii Recharge Station

Opened this product tonight, and immediately got bad vibes -- no documentation in the box at all, no instructions, discussion about overcharging, etc.
Thank goodness I was in the room when the blue light on the base went out -- if I had left the remote in overnight, it could have gotten fried. (Just read a few posts from some of these good people here, and be wary.)
I am so glad I looked this up on the web. Returning this bad product tomorrow.

I wished I would have read these reviews before I purchased this product. I bought this product in November 2007, and I now have 4 WII remotes that have gone bad. At first I thought, what cheap remotes, then I realized its the same problem over and over, so it must be the charging station, here I am today looking for a new charging station to only see these reviews. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!! It's an expensive replacement for your WII Remotes.
This charging station should not even be offered anywhere. They should recall it and replace all remotes that each person has lost.
Rating: - Don't but this product
If you like your Wii remotes do not buy this product. The batteries charge past 3 V up to 4.5 V and get very hot. I don't know if it is the heat or the extra voltage, but it will kill your Wii remote. I'm back to regular batteries.
Rating: - DO NOT buy this product!!!
Just want to support what everyone is saying here. I have a fried Wiimote, and I guess we're lucky the stupid thing didn't start a fire and destroy our home. The customer service people have not replied to my email. I'm going to try the phone number another reviewer provided - thanks to you, btw! I'm also going to contact Target and plead with them to stop selling this dangerous product.
