Rating: - Another great Energizer solution!
Again, I am impressed with Energizer's rechargeable products!
I should begin by saying that, as a household, the Wii Fit Balance Board gets about an hour to an 1.5 hours of use per day. We were begin to eat through the batteries which bothered us on both a financial and economical level. After having good experience with the Energizer Wii Controller products, we ordered the Wii Power & Play Battery Pack.
It's great!
To install the battery pack, you simply remove your existing battery cover and batteries, and insert the Energizer pack. It's simple and fail free. It allows for full days of play before having to be re-charged. When it's time for a charge, the battery pack even has an audible sound that lets you know you're running low on power.
The battery pack comes complete with a wall charging cable. This means there's no need to remove the battery pack to charge it. Simply plug the cable into a wall plug, and the other end into your Wii Balance Board battery pack. You can even continue to play Balance Board games while the batteries charge! The pack charges within an hour or so and repeats an aubible sound when completed, letting you know it's safe to disconnect from the wall.
I have had zero problems with communication issues between the Balance Board and the Wii. Since installing the Energizer pack two weeks ago, the syatem runs as perfect as it did on tradtional non-rechargeable batteries.
When you purchase this item, you literally never again, will wait to play Balance Board games again! Save your battery money for more Wii games!
Rating: - Frustrating
This battery pack is frustrating. We thought there were problems with the balance board since we bought these together and constantly got communication interruptions between the balance board and the game console. Basically any time someone stood on the board we would lose the communication and have to power cycle the board, even after a full day of charging. However, after switching to AA batteries the communication interrupts vanished. The board is great the battery pack is terrible. Save your money and buy a bunch of AA batteries instead.
