Default Wiimote Chargers

Any rec's on good Wii Remote chargers out there?

We have an energizer 2 remote charger right now that they don't even sell anymore. My DD broke the battery in one of the remotes somehow? So we just have regular batteries in it for now.

For Christmas we got a third remote, with the Motionplus, and eventually want to get one more remote (so that they whole family can play together). I saw one at Costco (that only charges 2 remotes, which is fine, but not sure if the brand was good) and it said you didn't have to take the MotionPlus piece or the protective jacket off of the remote to charge it. I think the brand was Nyco.

What do you guys use?

We have the one by Nyko. It charges 2 Wiimotes. We've had it a year now and no problems with it.

We use an Energizer 4 remote charger and I really like it! We can use ours with the MotionPlus and protective covers and it charges without a problem!

I was so glad when we switched to this over regular batteries! I felt like we were going through AA batteries like there was no tomorrow!

What I love is that it's sort of magnetized with the batteries, so it goes to the right spot. There are also lights to show when the batteries are charging and when they are done.

oh wow! Those are cool! might have to look into getting one of those!

We have just a bunch of rechargable AA batteries that I got from Costco. We have like 20 batteries because it seems everything uses AA batteries around my house. They do lose their rechargeability after a while, maybe after 2 years?

Grammy bought the boys the Nyko one from Sam's Club last year and they use it all the time. No complaints from them...and I have no doubt I would have heard if there were problems. lol
