I bought this thing back in June because my 2 roommates and I had been burning through batteries like nobody's business. It was kind of confusing at first because the package said it was supposed to flash red at low power, flash red at a slower pace when at medium charge, then be solid green when it was fully charged. It just flashed continuously red all the time but it charged fine, so that was ok.

Just recently however, one of the battery packs stopped charging. The wiimote would sit on the pad and flash continuously as it normally does, then we'd try and use it and it would have absolutely no power whatsoever. Pushing a button on the wiimote didn't even cause one of the four lights on the bottom to flash at all. Wrote it off as a lost cause, but now my other battery pack doesn't charge either. Got a good few months out of it but for the price I'd much rather get at least a couple of years.

Reading the other reviews it seems like some of the panels work great and others only work for a few months and then sputter out. Sounds like a manufacturing defect to me. For this reason, I can't recommend this product. It was a great idea, really cool, looks sexy and is a great conversation piece (the phrase "inductive charging" tends to elicit lots of "oohs" and "ahhs") but now it's just a broken piece of equipment I spent 30 bucks on.... and now we're back to letting our wiimotes munch on Duracells.

This is a good item but, it was difficult to find replacement batteries. I went to Energizer.com and called the 800 number. I was transferred at least 4 times but the reps were very helpful and once I reached the right dept I was very pleased. The rep took my information and they are sending me replacement batteries free of charge. If you need replacement batteries call: 1-800-331-3844 Website: hope this helps someone.

I just picked up this charger last night and I will update this review later but I did want to mention one thing. I have found out through reading reviews that several other induction chargers will not charge the black wii remotes with the black silicone sleeve on. Supposedly because it is to thick. THIS CHARGE DOES CHARGE THE BLACK WII REMOTES WITH THE BLACK SILICON COVERS ON!!! I set the controllers to charge overnight so I am not sure if the black and white controllers charge just as fast or what but I will update this review after a while of use. I just wanted people out there with black wii remotes to know that this will work for them. The only catch is the battery cover is white but that doesn't matter if you put your black sleeve back on. Other than that the charger seems great. It glows red when its charging and green when its done. Simple.

Honest reviews on Wii Energizer Flat Panel 2x Induction Charger

I've tried other rechargeable battery inserts to no avail. This one is great! It's easy to use and I've never had the batteries run out during game play yet. Also, unlike other flat panel induction chargers, there are no weird clips or attachments to put onto the remote while it's charging you just drop the controller off and walk away.

It's perfect. Well worth the price.

Dont even bother purchasing. Right out of the box, one of the batteries failed, giving a blinking red battery light. I returned the item and received another one which stopped working after 1 charge on each battery. Both batteries give the blinking red light now.

Since i was unable to recharge the energizer batteries anymore, i recently purchased a pack of Sanyo Eneloop batteries. I noticed they were lasting a lot longer than the one charge i had on the enrgizer batteries. So out of curiousity,i took apart the Energizer battery cases apart and found they were using AAA batteries (not AA) with 600mAh of juice. The Eneloop AA batteries which i used with my Wii controllers were 2000mAh. Even their AAA batteries had more juice at 800mAh. You might as well get a set of normal batteries. Not only will they last longer but they will work!
