• Sanyo’s Eneloop Rechargeable Packs for the Wiimote

Are you spending so much time swinging your little Wiimote around that you’re personally helping Energizer stocks to rise.

Well, we can help you cut back on your AA battery purchases by introducing you to this.

Sanyo’s Eneloop Wiimote charging station.

This Wiimote charging station finally makes it easy for you game addicts to recharge your tools and to get back to swinging.

With these rechargeable packs, it’s really simple to use. You just drop the controller into the stand (even with it’s silicone cover) and it’ll begin recharging those battery packs immediately. You can even strand up to four of these stations together and let them feed off each other. Then in 220 minutes, you’re back up to full power. And what’s even better is that they’ll charge in order, so you don’t have to wait until all four are charged before you can start playing again.

There’s only one hitch.

It’s only available in Japan.

But hey, for those of you on your way to Tokyo, look it up!
