Are you considering buying a Wii accessory? Well, one of the best you can invest your money is in a Wii charge dock, also called Wii remote charging station. These devices will let you change your AA batteries for a rechargeable battery that you won’t have to replace.

One of the bad points the Wiimotes have is that they lack of a rechargeable battery.  A console that did this right was the Playstation 3, with controllers that just need to connect to the console USB to recharge.  Luckily, some manufacturers such as Nyko have worked to bring us these docks that will not only help us with the battery issue but also will keep our controllers in place and protected.

There are different types of Wii charge docks; the main difference is the amount of controllers they can charge at the same time.  The most popular are the Wii dual chargers, but of course if you like to play along with the family or group of friends, you can find a quad charger station.

Having tested different Wii charge docks, I can say that the time a battery can last is the same as the time AAs can last.  Now this doesn’t mean they are equal.  Having a rechargeable battery is immensely more convenient in the long run.  The time it takes to charge will also vary.  The most popular Wii charger out there, made by Nyko takes 1.5 to 2 hours to fully charge an empty battery, and if you need to charge two controllers at the same time, that time will multiply by 2, because the energy will be shared between the two controllers.

These Wii charge docks that we see on the market are very well designed and can fit any gaming environment perfectly.  Some of the designs have kept in mind the original Wii design and you’d think they were designed by Nintendo, when in fact they are not.

Are Wii charging docks a necessary accessory for a gamer? I’d say yes, especially if you or your family plays Wii a lot. Not only will a Wii remote charging station save you money on batteries in the long run, but you’ll also have a nice holder to put your Wiimotes and they will stay protected.  Most gamers tend to leave controllers on places such as the floor, or on the top of the TV, where they can suffer an accident.
