Batteries?

[Taero]

I'm using the packed in batteries, I have sound and rumble on and use the nunchuk, I've been playing for about 16 hours with zelda and wii play and sports and I'm still on 4/4 battery.

Okay, so now I'm thinking of getting rechargeable batteries and Iv'e seen 4x Energizer 2500 mAh AA batteries which comes with a charger .. for only £19.97 at Tesco! Now is that good enough for it? How long will they last in the Wii remote when charged fully?

Edit: Which is like $39

not sure how long they'll last, they should last as long as alkalines. Energizers are definitely good enough for it, unless you want to be a snob & buy really expensive rechargables Actually, you can usually find Sony rechargables online for about the same price as energizers in retail.

This is what I've got, simple & effective:

Well apparently NiMH batteries are supposed to be better than Alkaline, and that is what these are, as I have researched. So, I kinda guessed that these would do just fine.

Yes, I know they're wireless, but I would have expected them to use a rechargable battery pack instead and the console comes with perhaps a holder which you can put your controller in and it recharges.

YES exactly what i would have loved to see... nintendo probably dident want to use more money making chargers but i think they're gonna lose money bcs im not gonna have as much money for games because im gonna be using it 4 games lol

Thanks!

It's a reasonable idea I thought and I don't mind the extra package. The more the merrier .. if that makes sense But still, it's worth the thought and I'm pretty sure Nintendo might have thought about it and didn't do it for their own reasons, but I'd still like to hear them.

They probably did it to make you guage how long you play or something.
