I like Sanyo Eneloop's solution -- they give you AA's and a reusable plastic adapter to turn them into C's or D's. Not quite as awesome as a full-sized D NiMH cell, but at least they're not bullshitting you.
@Kaiser-Machead: Yeah, dragging and dropping digital image files to a PC doesn't quite match the creepiness of an entire room dedicated to developing images of the love of your life, who just don't know you yet, and if they would only get to know you, they would know that you're just perfect for them and could meet their every fantasy, but alas, they don't even make eye contact with you, even though you have a posterboard that says "Megan Fox, I love you, please call me at 555-1234, I know you're perfect for me!!! If I can't have you, then nobody can...", yet she still doesn't even offer a glance, even when you leave her love notes on her bed while she takes a shower, or when you leave rose petals in her car waiting for her in the morning, or when you pick up her workout towel that she dropped while taking her daily 9:15am jog and leave it for her at her front door step, yet she still ignores me, I don't understand it because I know I'd be perfect for her...
Can you mix the LED's up to enable you to follow blood trails? I mean, in case you ever have to find a wounded animal. Seriously. I in no way would need this to track someone who cut themselves escaping from the dungeon.
I just wanted to mention that while yes, it is branded as "Energizer", they don't in fact make these things. Essentially the companies that make it use Energizer's name to sell it, and Energizer allows it.
@smarttart62: Does Energizer make the battery portion? Because this isn't _just_ the cradle you'd be buying. You'd also be getting one or two induction battery packs with it.
I wonder why none of these companies make a self charging battery system for the Wii-mote that operates on g-forces similar to those watches that you never have to wind...
@Tom Utley: The power return is probably too low, plus it doesn't help you at all if you're not playing a motion-control game. Watches don't take much juice at all, and you wear them all day long. Even minor movements over the course of a day's activity are enough to charge it up again. With a Wiimote, that rumble function especially is going to draw a lot more power, and the recharge would be pretty minor for only a couple hours use at a time.
So, you don't get much charge during gameplay, but now you've devoted a portion of that battery pack to a motion-powered generator, which means the actual batteries will be even smaller, so they'll run dry faster. Maybe the recharge will be enough to offset the lost capacity, but I kinda doubt it unless you're really aggressive with your Wiimote motions.
I started using the Sony Lithium rechargeable batteries that I picked up off of amazon with a nice recharger. Love them. Great battery life, better than both the Duracell and Energizer sets have provided in my experience.
@Lite: is combing the desert.: And for those not in the know, your recycled batteries end up in India where women polish carbon rods in them with no filtration system and their babies in their laps.
