I have not had one problem with it. It communicates perfectly all the time and charges perfectly every time. It works so great that I never have to think about it. It has worked so perfectly for me that when I was looking to buy a charger for my Xbox 360 controllers, I bought Nyko's charger. Note: Each time I use my Wii Fit, I use it for 2 - 3 hours at a time. Still, I do not receive any communications interruptions. Rating: 5 / 5 I have had this since it first came out last summer and have used it exclusively in my Wii Fit.

Griffin Thu, 04 Feb 2010 22:58:21 +0000 http://bestnintendovideogames.com/?p=1074#comment-552 I purchased the rechargeable battery pack about 2 months ago. While it has not be used much in the past month, the first month was just fine. No problems with charging or sync-ing with the Wii console. For charging purposes, I used the included USB cord and a USB plug (often found with iPod/MP3 accessories.) I have only given 3 stars because of the multiple issues expressed by other purchasers; otherwise, I'd give it 5. I have also been using the rechargeable batteries and charging station for the remotes and have had good results (no loss of charge, but then, I tend to be careful to put them on the charger every couple of days.)

I have logged over 150 hours on WiiFit since July. I have had no problems with the charger or the board. I had an occasional problem with communication between the board, the wii mote, and the wii, but I discovered that was because of a big picture window next to my TV that was causing problems receiving the wireless signal. We adjusted the sensitivity of the Wii to the signal, and the communications problems are gone. Getting the battery pack into the slot on the balance board was not trivial, but I did get it set up without damaging anything. I usually leave the cord attached, so I have to be careful that the cord isn't in the way when I am using the board. Battery failure is therefore not an excuse to miss a day of exercise. I guess that is a good thing...(and I've progressed from "that's obese" to "that's normal" and can now wear clothes 2-3 sizes smaller than last summer :-)) Rating: 4 / 5 I got this charge station last July when I made a commitment to try to lose weight and get in better shape, beginning with WiiFit.

It has energized all of us to play, if not every day, at least twice a week. But we're the sedentary type anyway.
