 A must-have for the Wii FIT owner May 22, 2008

Like the Wii remotes, the Wii FIT balance board is a battery drinker. I would strongly recommend this rechargable battery pack. The pack connects to the Wii system when not in use, standard charge lasts over 20 hours of play, longer (following future charges). The pack itself fits neatly into the bottom of the balance board, lid and all. The only product negative may be that some other brands may cost slightly less
 short cord, and will only charge while unit is on! June 3, 2008

I purchased this product at the same time I pre-ordered the Wii Fit.
I personally had no problems with the syncing of my board.
I initially used the enclosed batteries to set up the board as the charger needed to well, charge.
My first gripe is this: right on the packaging it states that you can charge while in game play.
Ummm no, the cord is too short!!!!
There is no way you can perform the excerise saftly with a short cord plugged into the Wii's usb, which now would need to be placed on the floor.
A completely ridiculous theory in my opinion, so do not buy it for this feature!
For an example to how short the cord is:
My tv is on a reletively low 2 shelf tv stand.
The Wii sits next to the tv.
I attatched charger to the usb port and to the board, which now has to be stood up.
I cannot even lay the board flat directly in front of the tv.
My second gripe is that it will only charge while the Wii unit is on.
I personally don't like running my unit for all those extra hours unnessasarily, I'm afraid of burning out the motor quite frankly.
I gave is three stars as it does actually charge the unit.
 Must have for wii fit May 23, 2008

The wii fit, like the wiimotes comes with starter batteries. but it is pretty much a battery drainer. save your self some money in the long run and invest in this rechargable battery.
i've had the wii fit for a few days now and i spend 45 minutes doing the exercises, and additional time looking thru the menus. so that means i could only use the balance board about 20 times or 20 days before having to replace the batteries.
plus the rechargables are greener, since they dont have to go in a landfill :)
A good value but two annoyances June 4, 2008

When I purchased the Wii Fit, I also purchased this pack at the same time.
It's definitely a good value, since the Wii Fit probably drains AA batteries quickly. I've used mine for 9 days with no problems. As long as the battery pack is charged, I can unplug the board and use it as far away as I'd like.
Unfortunately, the USB cord is pretty short and, in addition, the recharge pack covers the Sync button you use to setup the board.
Overall a good value, but those issues are minor annoyances.
Definitely worth the money May 25, 2008

I bought mine right away, and I'm glad that I did. Replacing 4 AA batteries at the same time would have gotten old and expensive fast. One downside...you can charge the batteries using a computer or the Wii, but if you use the Wii to charge you can't play while the batteries are charging; save the disposably batteries and use them to play while the battery pack is recharging.
