Wii Remote Charging Station

The Nyko Wii charge station is one of the most popular Wii charging stations in the market.  As you may know, these stations help you enjoy gaming without having to worry about buying new batteries.  That’s the same idea with the product from Nyko.  Let’s take a look at it more in depth.

The Nyko Wii charge station has a design that combines perfectly with your Wii, in fact if you take a good look at it, it has followed the same design guidelines s the Wii, ti even looks like it was designed by Nintendo! Even the LED light that shows you the device is charging the batteries is blue like the consoles’ LED light.

This charger needs you to take out the rubber protection that now comes with Wii controller, but if you don’t wish to put it again you can enjoy good gripping.  The part where the battery goes has rubber on it so it will enhance your grip -  a pretty nice detail! Just be sure to use also the strap on the controller to avoid smashing your brand new LCD TV!

The battery that comes with the charge station is high-quality and it comes as one piece with the rubber top, so it is very easy to put in your controller. From there you can just forget it because the Wii remote charging station will be charging on the battery at all times. The rubber door has a cut with the metal contact for the charge station. Through this contact the batteries will get charged.

So now, you just connect the Nyko Wii charge station and put on your controllers.  If the light is blue, it means that the battery is still charging, once the battery is fully charged the LED light will turn to green – and you are ready to play! Notice that in order to charge the controller it must be turned off.

How much time does a battery needs to recharge? Well, according to Nyko, it depends if you are charging one or two controllers.  If you are charging just one controller, it should take up to 1.5 – 2 hours to fully charge an empty battery.  If you have two controllers, time would be doubled to 3.5 – 4 hours.  Although Nyko doesn’t clearly state how much time will the batteries endure, according to our tests the time is pretty much the same as regular AA batteries. You can find the Nyko Wii Charge station for $24.99.
