I bought the Wii Power Station at the same time bought the Silicon Glove Pack,
which are both made by Joytech. The problem is the Wii controllers will not fit into the Power Station with the glove pack fitted. The gloves have to be removed from the controllers. This constant removal has caused the gloves to tear. I have spoken to Joytech who told me that it was not their problem and they were not willing to help me. I will never buy another Joytech product!
I was one of the lucky ones who got their Wii at launch so throughout December I was happily playing Zelda without a care in the world.... until the batteries ran out. Luckily, the first time they ran out I had some spare, but the second time I had none. I kept meaning to buy some at the shops but it kept slipping my mind, until I realised I hadn't been on my Wii for over 3 months! I received this through the post and since then I have been inseparable from my Wii, without the worry of the batteries dying at the most inopportune moment. This is excellent, great functionality, looks great (not cheap looking / feeling) and a bargain! Essential!
This is essential for all wii owners. it pays for itself by not having to keep buying battery's for your wiimote.
This is an essential piece of kit for the Wii, it should have been supplied from the start if you ask me, I find that if you just hold the strap up the back of the remote when you put it in to charge then it fits perfectly, no fiddling with straps at all! Definetly worth the money
I have had this charger for 3 months now and have had no problems. But recently the lights have begun flashing when I attempt to charge the Wii-motes and much to my dismay I have found that one my two Wii controllers no longer works!!! I have bought fresh new Duracell batteries which I tried in both controllers but only one now works. I am really really annoyed, as a Wii user yourself you'd know the controllers don't come cheap. I wish I had stuck to the conventional method of replacing the batteries manually or buying an external battery charger and using that. Searching online I've found I'm not the only one with this problem with the charger, I just wish I was warned before hand. I'd actually give this zero stars if it would let me.
I thought wow this is great until i recently came back from a trip where the chargers had been left on for a day or so they were very hot and both my wii moteswere broken!
Beware - nice to see so many happy with this.
I had 2 wii remotes until I used this product.
Both were flat - charged overnight, all as per instructions
but the next day the remotes were dead.
I have contacted Joytech who have asked me to send the
powerstation back to them to look at.
I have since bought another remote which works great
but I will not be putting it in a Power Station.
I am not the only person this has happened to reading other forum sites.
Will update later whether Joytech replace Remotes & refund
power station/postage costs.
I bought 2 Joytech Wii pwerstations and they have killed 3 out of my 4 controllers and can't really trust the 4th to last. Spoken to theirTech Support now for over 4 weeks - still no joy in getting replacements or money back - keep saying out of stock - funny how you can buy them off their website ok still - out of pocket best part of £170 - so don't buy
This is a great way to both store and charge two Wiimotes. It hides quite nicely behind our TV, charging away. When you place a Wiimote in the base, the corresponding LED will be RED (charging) or GREEN (fully charged). The supplied battery packs fit the Wiimotes very well, with no looseness or colour differences etc.
The charging unit itself plugs into the power supply for the Wii, so an additional mains socket isn't required. It does not interfere in any way with the operation of the Wii.
The Wiimotes sit quite snugly into the base - I have found placing the Wiimote in at an angle, then tilting backwards into position is the quickest and most effective way of "docking" them. I have had no problems with charging or similar with the Power Station. It has reliably been charging two Wiimotes since I first received it a few days after it became available on Play.
It's a great price for a very useful accessory - get one now!!
Having my wii since launch i spent probably almost £18 on batteries and i plan to have my wii until Nintendo bring out the next console. This is essential as not only will it save money on batteries, it keeps your wii-motes tidied away and even has side storage for Nunchucks. Great product from the always brilliant joytech!
