DOA: Batteries not charging

My story is short (and maybe yours too if you buy this one): Got a new Nyko charger from Revain, took it out of the box, Nyko batteries in both of mine installed black wiimotes as directed in the supplied manual, plugged into a charger in the wall with both wiimotes plugged in, the lights on the charger won't come on, searched the web for troubleshooting and found that this charger wasn't working with the black sleeve so took the wiimotes out of their cool cases and put them back naked on the…

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Very expensive

I love this charging station

Great design. Holds two Wii Remotes and doesn't matter if the Nunchuck is connected or not. glows green when it's on and charging, blue when it needs a charge, and can be easily turned off with a gentle push of a button once charging is complete, so you don't need that green glow in the room. Serves as a convenient place to store remotes, eliminates the "where's the remote" hassle! No more need to eat batteries. Very convenient. Good product. Worth the money and very cheap! REDUCED FROM 5 STARS

  • GOLS certified

Works well but has some issues

Nyko Dual Wii Remote Charger (induction model) works as advertised. Chargers in a decent amount of time, although I didn't put a Wii remote on it, which was completely dead. A cool blue light illuminates while charging and turns green when charging is complete. On the back of this device is a powered USB port for charging/powering anything via a USB connection. There are some USB powered sensor bars where this can be useful. Cons: Doesn't charge the Wii Remote when wearing a black jacket. I…

Pros
  • hands free

Has served me for 4 years. I wish it would still work.

I bought this charger for my Wii remotes in April 2010 so I can't say I haven't used it much but the unit is almost at the end of its sell by date. I'll say right away that I would recommend it if it weren't for the problems I'm having now. If you don't mind having 4 years of it, by all means buy this thing. It looks fantastic, everyone wants to know how it works, it charges the remotes well until the batteries run out and after being boxed and moved several times while I've had it, it shows…

Pros
  • finally bought
Cons
  • embarrassed

Great charger even with the shells in the way

Some of the reviews I read about this charger before buying it mentioned that it was difficult to charge Wii remotes with the shells still on. After receiving the charger, I was convinced that this was absolutely true. Remote controls sit very tightly in holders without protective covers. If you put them on and try to charge the remotes, it will be difficult for the magnet to make contact to hold the remote. I do find this a bit of an annoyance, however, as it's actually not very difficult to…

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • Reliability
