Wii Charge Station

Looking for a way to keep your Wii remotes charged without spending a lot of money? The Wii Charge Station by Nyko is an excellent option for you.

As of this writing, the suggested retail price for this great piece of equipment is $29.99. But, as with most things, you don't always have to pay full price if you take advantage of regularly offered discounts...and Amazon is currently listing this great Wii Charge station for as little as $17.54!

This is really a great deal when you consider the seemingly never ending expense to replace standard batteries.

Some of the features this quality unit provides include:

• Easily store 2 Wii remotes in any home theater with the small and stylish charging dock
• Dual injected rubberized and textured battery covers provide a safe and comfortable grip
• 2 NiMH rechargeable batteries provide up to 25 hours of play time
• Easily see when batteries are done charging with 2 LED indictor lights
• 6 foot power cable

There are over 604 customer reviews on Amazon for this unit and it comes in at a strong 4 out of 5 stars!

Some of the customer comments include:

• Picked this up the other day....suffice to say they are selling like hotcakes at the Gamestops across the country. This is a definite purchase for a Wii Owner...
• I recommend this for anyone using a Wii and more than one controller. You don't have to worry about replacing batteries. Just pop the controllers (2) on the charger and they are ready to go when you next need them. Beats using regular batteries.
• You definitely need to buy this if you have a Wii - it makes keeping your Wii remotes ready to go so much easier.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced that certain Wii Charge Stations produced by Griffin International Companies are being recalled. Griffin International is offering FREE replacements for the recalled units.

Approximately 220,000 Wii Charge Stations have been found to potentially heat up and potentially cause a burning or fire hazard.

Not all Wii Charge Stations pose this risk. The charge stations effected by the recall are the Psyclone (PSE6501) and the React (RT530). You will be able to find the model number of your unit on the bottom of the dock station you plug your remotes into for charging.

The offending units were manufactured in China...yet another product out of China that is posing a risk to consumers.

From January 2008 and July 2009 the Psyclone units were distributed through Toys 'R' Us, Amazon.com and Target. While the React units were released through BestBuy stores.

The company has reported receiving six reports of overheating units and there have apparently been two consumers who received minor burns.

If you own one of these units you should immediately stop using the unit, unplug it from the wall and contact Griffin International for a FREE replacement unit. Griffin can be reached at 888-344-4702, or you can send them an email at productsafety@psyclonegamer.com, or visit www.psyclonegamer.com'/wii4dock.
