1 x Dual Battery charge station2 x 2800mAh Battery Packs1 x USB CableThe item up for review is a USB powered Dual Charging station with 2 battery packs made by PEGA. Once I cut open the packaging and chuckled at the weird “Wii” logo on front, I began to set up the charging station. The charging station has a plug for the usb cord, an on/off switch and two cradles for your battery packs.
Initially, you are instructed to fully charge the batteries for 12 hours. If you do not follow these simple instructions it can shorten the life span of the batteries. As with most other rechargeable battery products, you are also instructed to charge only when batteries are fully depleted. If you do not, this also can shorten the life span of the batteries.
I was able to play for several hours but then unexpectedly one my remotes charge died. I still don’t know why and I don’t have the available time to keep testing this out. However, I will note that my other battery pack has yet to drain so I am cautiously optimistic about the life span on the charge. To fully charge the battery pack you will need between 5 – 8 hours. This was not an issue for me as I have plenty of down time in my day in order to charge the batteries.
The base itself as you can see in the picture is glossy white, surrounded at the bottom by a thin strip of light. When plugged into a USB port (the only way to power the charger) and powered on, the strip glows bright blue. When the battery packs are inserted to be charged an additional strip above the blue light will glow red. This makes for a visually pleasing experience when sitting next to your Wii. At least, it did in my case. Once the charging is complete, the red lights turn to blue and the batteries can be removed from the charger.
Please note, if you leave the charging station plugged into the Wii and turn off the Wii (without WiiConnect24 turned on) the charging station will not be powered. However, if you have WiiConnect24 on and you power down your Wii (you should have the orange light) you can still charge the batteries. Just remember, by leaving your Wii off while having the WiiConnect24 enabled (orange light) the Wii will eventually overheat. This has the potential to damage your GPU. I choose to just plug the charging station into my computer and charge overnight.
FINAL THOUGHTS - Goodbye countless trips to buy AA batteries!
The PEGA Charge Station is an inexpensive alternative to continuously buying batteries for your Nintendo Wii controllers. At just $12.80 (USD), the PEGA Charging Station is easy on the wallet. In addition, the aesthetics are quite pleasing with the complimentary white base and the bright blue-red indicator lights.
Based on my experience and in my opinion, the Pega Blue Light Charging Station is worth the $12.80. So, if you are looking for an alternative to continuously replacing the batteries for your Wii Remote, then head on over to DIGITOPZ.COM and order one today.
