Third Party Wii Accesories?

[lattes]

So I am in need of a couple of rechargable battery packs and a charger for the Wii.

Any disadvantages to Third party accessories? In particular I am looking at this one: http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10087317&catid=

Thoughts?

Thanks again from a Wii Noob

that looks like its not durable, maybe you should get a nyko one instead of a intec.

those look like theyre made pretty good. but keep in mind you have to recharge them faster then a normal battery would last, but that wont matter since youll probably recharge them when your not playing anyway. I bought a rechargable battery pack made by a cheap brand, cant even rememebr the name, they didnt last long at all, once they died completely they wouldnt recharge any longer :sick: but intec is a well known and quality company, nyko would probably be made a little better.. i say go for it if you really need it! hope i helped on your decision

yeah it's not bad, i cured my battery problem @ gamestation, and its a "Joytech" brand, i'm told they're known for game accessories, + you'll save on P+P!

over and out!

Thanks so much.

Nyko doesn't ship to Canada but I got one through best buy so if anyone outside of the US is looking, that might be the place to go.
