Pros: Rechargeable batteries for something my niece uses all the time!
Fairly decent run time/capacity.
Solid little unit, should take some punishment.
Cons: Doesn't let you know when it's charged.
USB cable isn't that long.
Other Thoughts: For an accessory that is used fairly constantly by my niece this is a must, she was burning though batteries, even taking them from the TV remote! She can get a good couple of days use from this and then plugs the USB cable in stood up at the side of the telly overnight. It doesn't have an auto cut off for the charge so I'm not sure if it's going to overcharge and damage the batteries as time goes on. If it's been on overnight I always unplug it though.
Bottomline: Better option than keep buying new batteries.
Great If It Worked

Pros: The concept of a rechargeable battery with a cable extension is awesome.
Cons: It does not work properly with my balance board. Regular batteries work fine, but when I plug this in the board loses sychronization and I constantly have to turn it on. It cannot even measure my weight without shutting off. The battery pack is completely charged so I'm not sure what the problem is.
Other Thoughts: I'll probably have to RMA this one and write an updated review if the next one works.
Bottomline: So far, I'm out $6 and might be out more depending on if the replacement works or not.
It's a very good product.

Pros: - Good build quality.
- It solves a great problem in wii fit that is many baterries! (4 bateries)
- You can use wii fit and recharge your bateries with a usb connection. It is perfect!
- Very cheap.. it is cheaper than 4 rechargeble bateries.
Cons: - The usb cable is too short. But you can solve this problem using a cheap usb extension that you can find here in Dealextreme.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: It is the best solution for wii fit bateries and it is a very cheap solution!! If you have wii fit you have to buy this one.
WOW!

Pros: * Less than $7!
* Works EXACTLY as advertised.
* Feels pretty darn solid, reminds me of my old "GameMaster" packs for the GBA (taco style).
* Charges from ANY usb port, which is great, because my MCE box is closer than the WII, so i jam it into that instead ;)
* Great 90degree power adaptor, means you can play whilst charging the unit.
* I've lost 3kg with my WII Fit so far :-)
Cons: * I'm currently running it on my "Fricken Expensive" battery charger with a couple of cycles to find the EXACT mAh rating, as I do doubt it's 2800mah. From the size of the cells, I would guess 1200mAh maximum.
Other Thoughts: * Look, for less than the cost of 4xAA rechargable batteries, you get this nifty pack, with a USB charge function! You can charge whilst playing, so I thing this is fantastic!
Bottomline: * You would have to be crazy NOT to buy this! Well, if you don't have a Wii Fit, then you are excused :-)
