do the Nyko charge station set work well?

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! at least in my time using them

How did it not work well.  Works perfectly for me.  Just put the Wiimotes back in the charge station after done playing and you never run out of charge.

I use 2 pairs of UNiROSS HYBRIO recharchables. And they are awesome.

I have other rechargable batteries, but they slowly lose charge even when not in use, and generally won't have as good of a life anyway.
With these when the remote runs low, I take them out and put them on to charge, taking the others out of the charger. So the ones that have just run out charge up in 3 or so hours, but the charger has a cut off feature so I justleave them there until the others run out again.

With standard recharchables I find that the leaving them there bit means they don't last as long when it comes to use them, so I need to have charged them recently before putting them in (which requires forethought).

Oh, and they are 2100MaH, and last a decent amount of time in the remote. Obviously depending on what I am doing... so battery draining games like LoZ:TP I might get about 20 hours (with non-chargeable batteries I would get about 30 hours for that game)

I can't really compare any other games to standard alkaline battery life as I stopped using them pretty soon into my Wii purchase.

Been using my chargestation since they came out in 2007 and never had a single issue so when I go 3rd party on Wii periphs I use Nyko and I never had issues.

 

I love my Chargestation and my Wing classic controller.

Energizer Rechargeable batteries. We have 6 batteries so we always have 4 to use in either our 2 wiimotes or 360 controllers and 2 in the charger. Pretty damn good investment if you ask me.

I forgot the brand, but I have rechargeable batteries that charge in about 15-20 minutes, and they last a damn long time. I couldn't be happier.

With rechargables, the time it takes to charge depends on their size (so my 2100mAh take about 3 hours in my charger, but I have some 800mAh that take about an hour)

The higher the mAh the longer the batteries last in the remote.

Also however, the time to charge will depend on your charger.... my charger came with the batteries, so it was cheap, which is why it takes so long. You clearly have a fast charger.
