Manufacturer's Description
Easily charge and store your Wii Remotes with Nyko's Charge Station for Wii. The Charge Station includes 2 NiMH batteries, exclusively designed for the Wii Remote, each providing up to 25 hours of play time. Each battery is easily recharged by placing the Wii Remote in the charging dock. The charging dock conveniently plugs into any standard wall outlet, allowing for rapid recharging of both batteries in 8 hours. The Charge Station includes 2 custom battery covers with contact pass-through points so you can charge the batteries while they are still in the remote. Each battery cover is also rubberized for superior grip during intense gaming sessions. The Charge Station matches the style of the Wii, and is small enough to fit in any home entertainment center.

Excellent purchase
This is an excellent piece of kit, which I am really pleased with and has saved me loads of money on batteries.
After looking around for ages and being a bit concerned about some of the problems with reliability I found an interview with Nyko where they said they would replace any damaged equipment due to a fault in their charger. So I took the plunge and have never looked back.
This is much better than any of the USB chargers as the Wii doesn't have to be on to charge the batteries.
Spare batteries are available from Nyko, so when they eventually can't hold their charge you can get replacements.
One point to remember about rechargeable batteries. The best way to use them is, charge them up fully and then use the remote until the battery is flat and then charge it up full again. This will ensure that you maximise the life of the rechargeable battery. Don't use the remote for 1/2 hour and then put it back on charge, as the capacity of the battery will reduce quicker. This is valid for any rechargeable batteries.

Worked twice, now useless
This item charged my wii-motes twice and now is completely lifeless. An expensive waste of money. Good when it works but now useless.

Fab!
Bought this back in December and it's still working absolutely fine 6 months on and is still a godsend - No wiimotes dead, and no signs of shoddyness or anything. Works like a dream and saves us so much money!

It's Ace
Banish the thoughts of buying batteries, get one of those and never will you have to pray to the alkaline god again.

Shody, faulty
I bought this charger dock when I got my wii and although rattly and poorly built it did the job. however after just 3 weeks it is kaput. nothing! zip! and yes I have tested the power supply.
Avoid.
