 Waste of money sorry we bought them December 28, 2008
Michelle Smith (Baltimore, MD USA)
When purchasing the wii we chose a bundled option, we researched all the accessories and decided that the quad station would best suit our needs.
We played the wii with the remotes using the batteries that came with it. No problems at all. We switched to the battery packs-nothing but frustration! The remotes stop working mid game EVERY time. You have to remove the skin, the strap and the battery pack at least 5 times during a game. We switched back to regular batteries and have no problems.
This is DEFINITELY going back to the store or the trash. Such a major disappointment.
Nintendo also has said it will void the warranty should we use it. I'm not willing to risk four remotes to save a few dollars on batteries.
I hope you have better luck than we did with this. A very frustrating and costly issue.
 OK Product - Need to remove the "Sync" button December 21, 2008
D. Washatko (WI)
This is an OK product. The batteries last about as long as any other cheap rechargeable. It was kind of hard to get the battery packs inserted into the charger at first, but once you get the hang of it they slide in easy. It is even more difficult to charge the entire Wii remote. It helps to take the strap off, but they can be charged with the strap if you pull the strap tight along the back side of the remote as you insert it.
The biggest problem I had was that several of the packs caused the remote to try to sync as we were playing. I finally just used a small pliers to remove the little sync button on the battery pack. They have worked great since.

this product came quickly and is great. I would have no problems ordering from this place again.
Fine, as chargers go December 20, 2008
Russell M. Klanke (Seattle, WA USA)
As a plus, the special purpose batteries can be charged in their special purpose charger without using the controller to keep the batteries in place. That's a problem with most chargers; if the controller holds the battery in place, then (1) any jacket over the controller should be removed or at least rolled up and (2) the controller's strap should be removed. Note that this is common with Wii controller chargers.
And you can't use the controller while its in the charger.
Consider the more versatile rechargeable NiMH AA batteries and charger instead of a special purpose battery and charger. Rechargeable battery technology keeps changing. Get the new ones. Get the high mAh ones with Ultra Low Self Discharge (ULSD) (should as "ready to use NiMH").
The more versatile rechargeable NiMH AA batteries are a safe investment.
Do not Buy the Wii Quad Dock! December 20, 2008
James P. Tango
This product never worked correctly from day one. My kids kept complaining about the Wii controllers loosing connection with the rechargable batteries installed. I tried to charge the batteries again and again, but the same connection problems existed. Once I installed regular Duracell batteries back in the Wii controllers everything was fine. I sent the Wii Quad Dock back to Amazon and received a full refund.
Thank you Amazon for refunding my money so quickly.
