Yeah I am very intrigued by this solution. I hope it does really well in Japan so it can be proven to be a good solution and be brought to the US.

Good god, this falls of the front page too quick. I know there has to be more people interested in a decent 1st party solution to this.

bump.

Wal-mart is a huge chain store right? Yes they will have rechargables.
Unless it's somewhere small like the corner shop/newsagents type place, the rechargable batteries will usually be right next to the normal ones.

I use UNiROSS Hybrio ones.... the Hybrio bit means they  don't lose charge as fast when not in use (if you charge a battery and leave it for a month it will have lost a lot of charge)

What's wrong with that? It works extremely well...

What's wrong with just using a regular rechargable battery pack that you can use for ANYTHING (not just game controllers).?

Mine doesn't... beause the charges never connect to the battery.

Are you guys familiar with the Duracell Quick chargers. I have a two year old model which charges within 30 minutes. The newer models can recharge batts in under 15 minutes.

i have a recharger for plain AA batteries. it's takes about 30 minutes to charge up two batteries (for use in one wiimote) and they tend to last about 10-15 hours, so i usually recharge them about once a week.

That's what I do, except I guess my batteries have a larger capacity because they last longer than that (they last almost the same length of time as standard batteries) of course the larger the capacity battery, the longer it takes to charge (about 3 hours) and my charger isn't meant for fast charging anyway.

Does not matter to me I have this...
