To avoid and of those duracell moments on Tuesday... Do I need to buy a shit load of batteries to use in the Wiimotes or do that have some sort of battery pack in there?

bought for my mum's Wii a recharge dockign station that connects to the back of the Wii and when you have finised playing with yourself you site the remotes on to the docking station and they are fully charged the next time. does not over charge them and costs about £25. so will get that back after a years worth of batteries

Second the docking station idea - the wiimote just stays in there and thus is fully charged at all times other than when in use. You'd have to be going some to run it out in a single session!

They come with batteries so don't worry, each wiimote takes 2 x AA's.
I think you'll have to use it a hell of a lot to warrant the cost of rechargeables and a docking station. If you are still using it a lot by Easter then consider it wink

We just have 8 AA rechargables.. Each time they run out, the spare four are ready to go. Seems to work..
