You can buy 3rd-party rechargeable battery packs with charging kits for the Wiimotes.
Nintendo hasn't made redesigned consoles as far as I'm aware, certainly not in the way 360 is doing with the Elite or even how PS2 did with its slim model. They've just had a million handhelds as the technology got better. Most is maybe different colors with the GC and probably soon different Wii colors.
