Review on Wii Psyclone Charge Station Batteries Nintendo by Michael Shim

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Don't buy this! Great idea but big mistake

I just threw mine in the trash. It seems like a great idea, but always-on batteries generate A LOT of heat. This heat causes the remote's silicone cover to release a sticky liquid over its entire surface. The stickiness is very similar to semi-cured epoxy! It covers the remote control and rubs your hands. My guess is that the heat from charging is so intense that it actually pushes the silicone case almost to its melting point. Strange! If the technology were smart enough to turn itself off after the batteries were fully charged, this could be an acceptable product as the silicone loses its sticky surface and becomes smooth again once it cools down. But having to remember to unplug the remote and set it aside before using it is just plain unacceptable. Perhaps Psyclone will make another charging station without this bug, but it's a gooey, awkward, and unforgivable mess. David S
