Hardware Wiimote won't connect with battery pack

[Fluganox]

Right, this is going to sound rediculous. But I have two wiimotes, both work absolutely fine with batteries, one even worked with a usb charged battery pack. But recently I bought a charging dock with two battery packs, one for each wiimote. And since then, they refuse to work.

At first I thought it was the sync, so I re-synced them, and they connected, as player 1 and 2. But straight when I point one of them at the screen, and hover over a channel or the SD menu, they disconnect. However I can point at the screen as long as I want as long as I don't hover over anything. if i tap A they connect again, but the same thing happens. And if I turn off my Wii, I have to re-sync them again.

Funny thing is, they connect immediately with normal batteries :S any suggestions?

they're fried!! try disable rumble.

Unless it's a factory fault, I don't think they are, they're brand new :/

and disabling rumble and sound does nothing (N)
