Wii Remote Batteries

The batteries that I put in my Wii-mote go dead in about 2 to 3 hours, (and thats a new pack of batteries too.) I got some rechargable batteries so I could recharge them, put two in, and when they go dead I put them back in to recharge and get the other two that were still charging and put those two in the Wii-mote and do the same thing over and over again. I've been going through this cycle for a while now.(I checked to see if they were charged up all the way and they were.)

I don't know if this is normal or what. It's kind of getting annoying right now.

Does the Wii-mote hog up your batteries too? I'm curious to know if it has or not.

you know there are baterie loaders??
And also there is an wii remote loader, i think (in Belgium there is)

really?? wow my wii batteries still have power after 2 months , how often do you play it

i only recharge my batterys about 1 time a month

Turn off the rumble feature.

And if you are feeling lucky, You can try to find a Wii recharging dock... but they are hard to find. (I saw one once.)

You probably just have crappy batteries.

I change mine about once evry 1 1/2 to 2 months.

prob something wrong with your wii mote
or just turn off speaker volume on it

My batteries still work since Christmas(& I play every day! & I use Energizer E2 Lithium), but you can probably find a Wii-mote dock carger thingy at Wal-Mart

Hmm i use just regular c-brand batteries (cheap ones) and when i turned off rumble and put sound to about 1 bar, they last for about 40 hours, which is like 3 months for me, because i hardly touch it

I've gotten anywhere from 2 days to 2 months.

Depends on:

If you use the nunchuck
How loud the speaker is
Whether or not rumble is on

Go to gamestop, get a wii chager, and i think that your batteries are effed up or somethin.

My wii batteries...
i bought real special ones...
they're energiser special editions...

They only make 500 a year! i got a lithium special edition double energy battery!
i've been playing for a real long time!

real nice design... silver and a nice shade of blue...

I'll go turn it off and see if it helps any.

I don't think so, I usually buy Durecell and Energizer and other batteries like those.

Every couple of days. I play about 3 hours, and thats when the batteries go dead.

How do you store your Wii remotes?

I find that when I have my Wii and Xbox 360 stored in a milk crate together, the Wii remotes don't turn off because if a button is pressed they keep trying to find the Wii.

When I unstore them to play, the batteries are dead.(big design flaw in the remotes.)

I also had the same issue when I didn't play my Wii from early March until the other day.

Dude just get a really strong brand of batteries such as Energizers that Nintendude uses that should solve your Wii-mote problem

I recharge my Wiimote batteries about once every month....I don't know why yours saps your batteries so quickly.

You might need Extra Long Lasting rechargeable Ni-MH batteries for Camera use.
