USB Wii Remote Charger

Wii Charger I took delivery of my Nintendo Wii a couple of weeks ago and it is an awesome piece of kit, this next gadget should of come with the Wii or at least of been an official extra but no another company had to come up with the common sense to make a USB Charger for the Wii Remote.

The idea is so simple, the remote control docking station connects to the USB port at the back of the Wii and when the remote is not in use (in our house that is when we are asleep) dock the remote and let it charge. On the downside it does mean you need to leave the Wii turned on all the time, either that of connect it to a USB socket on your always on PC (or is that just me that never seems to turn the PC off).

You can get the Wii remote USB charger from Rare Mono Shop for $29.

The Wii’s USB ports are still powered when the console’s off, just as long as you’ve got the WiiConnect24 turned on. So, those chargers would work even with the wii’s off; no need to have that 200 Watt computer on 24/7

This is what I need for my wii. Do we need enough battery around the house.

So the Wiimote has a rechargable battery, but no charger included?

Or is this a USB version as opposed to a wall-plug charger they normally provide with the console?

Actually the Wiimote comes with standard double A’s, but with most of the chargers they give you a rechargeable batery pack that fits into the back like the normal battery cover would. Look closely at the picture and you can see it.

Does the charger plug into where the nunchuck goes?, if not this will be very inconvenient if you have skins on your wiimotes.

Is this such a good idea? USB ports aren’t designed to source a large amount of power, charging one device like a wii-mote or an ipod is one thing..charging four wii-motes at once is another.

I wonder if you can destroy the USB bridge by drawing too much current.
