Phantiq Wii Remote Twin Power Tower Charge Dock (Dual)

This power tower turns two wii remotes into a dual charging station. Docking station charges two wii remotes simultaneously. Charges, stores and protects two remotes. Includes two rechargeable battery packs and receives direct power source from any usb power supply. Twin LED light recharge power indicator.
Customer Review: Charges but, battery always dying too soon.
I'm glad that I don't have to buy new AA batteries every week. but, when I charge for almost 24 hrs. It doesn't fully charge it all the way. When I play for about 1-2 hours the battery is low. I guess that's why they say you get what you pay for.
Customer Review: Good, but has room for improvement.
Looks simple and small; this is good. I didn't like how the LED's are -only one color, not red/green/orange -waaaay too bright: I had to paint white-out over them to prevent blindness -blink when charged and hold solid when charging: this seems backwards to me I did like how it doesn't require an AC adapter. It just uses a usb port available on the Wii or elsewhere. I was also able to remove the dumb "Phantiq" logo on the front with a swiss knife for a minimalist look. One other thing; the rechargable packs look like just two rechargable AA's instead of lithium ion's or something. They might be actually, but battery life is fine and a more custom pack would probably raise the price out of a reasonable range.
