    Customers find the charging adapter works well and is simple to use, with one mentioning it charges easily through remote covers. The product looks good and customers consider it worth the cost, with one noting it saves money on transformers. The battery life and durability receive mixed reviews - while some say the batteries last for hours, others report they don't hold a charge, and while some find it well-built, others say it fails within three months of light use.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Slim, Quick, and always ready.

      This charger is awesome. I have a 2-charger version of the upright nyko brand one. It works well enough but you have to take off those sleeves and numchucks/motion plus accessories to charge. This inductive charger makes life much simpler, you just drop the controller on the charger and it will charge just fine no matter what accessories are attached!
      Unlike the upright charger I have as well, this charger lays flat and actually fits in the cupboard I keep my Wii in. The upright one is too tall with the chargers on it so I have to keep it out in the open, it's not the most eye-friendly device either. The energizer flat panel has a sleek look to it that I wouldn't mind keeping it in the open, but it's a lot nicer that I can keep it away with the rest of the electronics - it's small profile makes this charger far more versatile than the competition.
      The thing seems to charge really quick, I play a lot of Wii and have never come back to find a remote with the charging light still on. The remotes are normally warm/hot to touch, so I'm sure they did charge, but that is only an issue for a minute or two.
      My favorite feature with this charging system is that the battery packs (included! unlike the competition) don't get hurt if they are not allowed to fully charge. I've never needed to grab one before it was done, but it's comforting to know that if I need to get a game in I always have the opportunity to do so without having to worry about my batteries being worse off in a week or two.
      Overall I'm thoroughly satisfied with my choice of charger system, I wouldn't advise going any other way.

      4.0 out of 5 stars Great Charger
      Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2011
      Verified Purchase
      We have gotten excellent performance out of our Energizer induction charger. I really like it because you don't need to take the Wii remote jacket off every time you recharge. We've owned this for 9 or 10 months, and have regularly charged both of our remotes (with Motion Plus adapters attached). We only put them on the charger when they are low on power, but that's often enough (probably twice a week for each remote, maybe more). After each charge, the batteries last for a respectable amount of time.

      The only reason this product doesn't get five stars is because extra batteries are not as readily available as they could be. You need to make sure you get the right kind of batteries that are meant to be charged with this induction charger. You can now find these on the manufacturer's website (pdp dot com). However, at a cost of thirteen bucks each, if you want two extra batteries (we just got two more remotes), it ends up being more cost-efficient to spend twenty bucks at Amazon to buy an entire extra charging unit with included batteries, rather than buying them from PDP individually.

      1.0 out of 5 stars 3 Months and the batteries are toast!!!!!!!!!!!!
      Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2013
      Verified Purchase
      Bought this because I could charge batteries in the motion silicone sleeve. Sounded like a perfect solution to an issue. Energizer is known for their batteries!!! Unfortunately, Energizer just put their name on it. This item is made and distributed by PDP (Performance Designed Products). They do make a lot of stuff all of which I don't use because of a lack of interest in controllers with stickers on em'. Induction charging is awesome and the station is great. What sucks about this item is the fact that the batteries are crap. After 3 months, one of the batteries is burned and won't charge. Just flashing red rapidly which means the battery must be replaced. Now this isn't a big deal to me but...wait for it...warranty service requires you to pay to ship the item to them with a check for another $8.00. Considering that the whole station is only $23 is isn't really worth it. Why do you ask? The replacement battery is $13.00. $4-5 to ship it to them with another $8 to get it back. Why waste the time and not just order another one and get it in a 1/4 of the time? I see a lot of other people with battery issues, some sooner, some later. All in all, rechargeable batteries should last at least 6 months with extreme use, not 3 months with once a week use. Just buy two sets of the charging station (so long as its under $26 and you'll have two extra batteries from the start. The product is good in theory, but they missed the mark when it comes to the battery.

      2.0 out of 5 stars Good concept...too bad about battery life though!
      Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2011

      Looks great & good concept since all you have to do is place the Wii-mote onto the panel. However, those are the only good attributes about this product! Not sure about other 3rd party rechargeable battery setup's (designed for the Wii-exclusively) however, I've got two VERY SERIOUS complaints about this product: 1) If you don't use them for 1 - 1.5-weeks then the battery drains completely!!! In comparison, I won't touch an xBox 360 or a PS3 controller for weeks at a time yet still have a rather decent battery charge on them & 2) Battery life's horrendous on this thing! I'll get lucky if I can get 3 - 4 hours of usage before I need to recharge it again. Fortunately for me, I've got spare double-A batteries at home if these things need to be recharged in the middle of playing. The only reason this product isn't getting a 1-star rating from me is because the charger looks sleek, it actually charges consistently & it was a decent price when I bought it (around twenty-dollars during a Goldbox deal). Let's just hope Nintendo includes quality rechargeable batteries (like Microsoft & Sony) for their next-gen system they're announcing at E3 here soon!

      so far its working great, took about 4 hours to charge. you have to use the battery covers they provided (2 white 2 black) so if you have a different colored controller be prepared. i had placed it on a stand which was made of metal, the charger would not work, interferes with induction charge. Just hope the batteries hold up, tho i will be alternating use to try and wear evenly.

      I purchased the induction charger which itself is a great item but the 1 I received was faulty with only 1 of the charging positions working ,I did send Teamuk an email with a picture showing the faulty charger but they never replied not even 1 email.Also when trying to leave seller feedback just before writing this,there was already a comment from me which I did not make,I would like everyone who reads this and Amazon to check seller feedback for a possible hacking of accounts as I know I did not leave that seller feedback but somehow teamuk got a good report from me when I wouldn't recommend them to anyone STAY AWAY FROM TEAM UK a bunch of crooks

      J'ai essayé 5 stations de recharges pour wiimote différentes... C'est la seule qui fonctionne encore malgré le temps qui passe! La marque Energizer sait vraiment faire de bons produits!
      La station recharge par induction même avec le Wii motion plus et le plastique de protection!
      Les batteries sont supers mais évitez de les laisser dans les manettes pour garder une autonomie élevée. La station est compatible avec les batteries d'autres stations de recharge par induction, ce qui permet d'utiliser celles achetées auparavant!
      Attention : les wiimotes noires ne sont pas forcément bien détectées avec la housse qui est plus opaque/épaisse.

      4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant product- flawed by poor quality batteries
      Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 16, 2012
      Verified Purchase
      I managed to buy the last one (at this time) available, which was an amazon warehouse deal. Unfortunately from the moment it was unpacked, one battery pack contained batteries that were completely shot. The left side LED lights don't work when fully charged either. As it was the last one in stock, I chose to keep it rather than accept a full refund. Ordered a set of AAA energizer ni-mh batteries and the charging pack worked again. So even though it didn't work as advertised, I ended up with longer lasting battery packs. This is a major fault with this model, although unfortunately outside of the US I think you're limited to only getting a refund on it, while in the states the company will send you new batteries free of charge, as it is a well documented issue.
      That said, it's still worth buying. Can charge both old and new remotes, with or without silicon protector. None of the fiddly bits as the competition has, getting the charging points to line up exactly. Pop the remotes on the charging pad, they align themselves and trickle charge until you want to play again. Within a few months it will have paid for itself in batteries saved.
