Wiimote v. rechargeable batterypack?

[MATTY!]

Does anyone make a rechargeable battery pack for the wiimote yet? The xbox360 has those little packs you plug into the back and I was unable to find anything of the sort at any retail stores where I am. Buying batteries all the time is annoying, I'd hate to have to do that.

No pictures yet but I have high hopes.

I use the recharger from my Sony digi-cam.

Plus I just picked up a set of rechargeable Energizers yesterday for all of my Wiimotes.

I'm also eager to see what the Wii Intercooler looks like http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=802575

you could probably make your own battery pack. my friend did it for his Gameboy Pocket back in the day.

People, just buy rechargeable batteries.

Joytech is releasing a battery charger and power station at the end of this month

USB powered would be nice, just plug it into the Wii USB port.

I've been using 15 minute charging Duracells for now, would like to have a dock 'n' charge kind of system

I wonder if Nintendo made it possible to charge through the extension port... would be nice not to have to buy a new battery+back for my 'motes...

why dont people just buy regular rechargeable batteries? they're a lot cheaper

 

[Yogan]

I haven't found rechargable batteries I've liked.

 

[silver_667]

what exactly dont you like about them?

 

[bi-polar-itical]

I use them in my 360 controllers without any problems

I use some rechargeable kodak camera batteries and they last for quite a while

 

[luvleegurl666]

it would be nice to get a battery pack. but it sucks because i just went out and dropped 40 bucks on a charger and some rechargeable batteries

 

[bringkaitlynthehorizon]

I have some rechargeable batteries, but I also got the rubber sleeves that go over the remotes, and it's impossible to get the batteries out.

 

[cheerforlife]

Yeah, my rechargeable Kodaks last for a really long time between charges.

That's exactly the situation I'm in, a docking station would be sweet.

I have rechargables but they are about flat, and I would rather wait and drop the money on a cradle recharging station
