The Nyko Wii Charge Station is probably one of the best accessories you can pick up for your Wii. Especially if you play your Wii a lot. It takes about 3-4 hours to charge the battery to full charge (from the time its completely dead). The only thing I noticed is that the specifications don’t really state how long the battery life is. So, I decided to do a few test runs and have found that the average lifespan of the battery while playing strictly Super Mario Galaxy is 17 hours and 24 minutes. In my opinion, that’s really good, considering that SMG uses not only the Nunchuck accessory, but also uses the pointer feature of the Wii remote, which drains a lot more power in combination with the nunchuck. Without the nunchuck accessory (and pointing), while playing Excite Truck, the battery life lasted about 50 hours. Not bad at all! Definitely worth a purchase, as it pays for itself after only a few charge cycles.
