Hardware Best Batteries for Wii Ever?

[sjones900]

So for about a month now i've been using the crap batterie packs that you get on ebay and those SUCK and only lasted about an hour and I had enough of it so I went and bought these new batteries called eneloop from Sanyo that apparently have both the qualities of Alkaline and Ni-MH. So far they are great going strong 9 hours and still has four bars .They don't come with a chager but any Ni-MH charger should work they don't take long to charge either so if you want a pack go down to Circuit City or look on Amazon.

Well I use the ones that snap in the back and have batteries fit into the WiiMote and come with a recharge center that glows blue (I turn it off often cause of the blue glow at night... = =

Nyko charge station... I can play for a good 8-9 hours before I get down to 3 bars, but it drops quickly after that... I also keep my wiimotes in the charger when I'm not using them.

Eneloops are the best rechargeable batteries.

Yup. I bought a 4 pack for my two wiimotes, they work great.

Cheap Costco brand batteries 20 battery brick for 7 bucks, 2 batteries last me about 12-14 hours. LOL! Toss out the batteries and go on to the next pair. That's 60-80 hours per remote for 7 bucks, not to shabby, might pick up the recharger once the brick runs out, but that will be a while yet.

O.

I need to buy me some rechargable batteries.. I'm paying 1$ every nine hours I use my Wii (20 hours at least) :/

I might order me a pack of 4

Anywhere other than Amazon though.

I'm using Rayovac's hybrid Nickel Cadmium batteries... They take a while to charge but take a loooong time to run down... They're not that expensive and they can be charged in any Ni-Cad charger!

Maybe if I can get a ride to best buy or something, but if i can find a nice deal online i'll just order them.
All of them have $5-7 shipping, which is half the cost of the batteries themselves.

I got mine for like $6.57 it said on the shelf $9.99 but they were on sale.

 

[Awdofgum]

DealExtreme has them for $16.50 but I'd rather go to circuit city and buy them for $7

 

[sjones900]

thats the way to go, hope you have a charger if not you need that too.

 

[Awdofgum]

I got one, but I need more batteries, cause i just bought two more wiimotes.

 

[sjones900]

oh, well then your good I bought the four pack of AA's for two remotes and a 4 pack of AAA's for my wireless gamecube controlers. AND I'm going to go back and get another set for my wireless keyboard.
