Battery life will depend on a lot of things. For one, if you don't use the motion sensing capabilites much then it shouldn't consume a lot of battery. The same should be true if you arent using the nunchuk peripheral. I've been playing a lot of wii sports and zelda, probably about 20 hours and my batteries are still full, and they are the ones I got with it.

Three bars today, after playing Zelda for the past 5 hours (since I bought it )

The batteries that came in with my Wiimote (panasonic) lasted for less then 20 hours of play. I put Duracells in it to replace them. The 2nd Wiimote has yet to run low. Im hoping that using Energizer E2 will give me a quite extended amount of time. Any thoughts on using lithium bats?

I just replaced my batteries today. I recommend getting a set of NMh batteries. They are rechargeable, last 3x as long as alkalines per charge, and they cost the same as high-end alkalines. Just don't get the 5-minute charge ones. They don't last as long.

Don't leave your Wii remote facing down... the batteries will DIE SO FAST!

Alkaline

The batteries that came with the Wii have died after a week and a half, I also had no sound on the wiimote and rumble turned off.

I have clocked just under 8 hours on Zelda, and have probably been playing wiisports up to 2 hours a time for the past week and a half.

That's poor, I won't be able to afford to keep feeding this wiimote at this rate!
