 Wish I could give a full review... November 20, 2008
I bought one of these dual chargers because overall the reviews are good. Unfortunately mine didn't work when received, at all. The power adapter that piggybacks on the existing Wii power supply must be faulty as when its plugged in my Wii doesn't light up and either does this charging station. Take it back out and plug the Wii power cord directly into the unit and the Wii works. So I went to there website that's listed on the packaging, [...]. I figured I could just contact them for a replacement instead of having to ship the entire thing back for a refund. No phone number or address found. So I clicked on the Customer Service link at the bottom of the page and it pops up a blank screen with no information. So finally I went to [...] to see who there domain is registered to...figured I could get there address or number from there and the domain has private registration on it so you can even do that.
Buyer beware....if the unit breaks good luck getting it fixed under warranty since there customer support seems non existent. Mines being returned.
Update 11/21/08: I did a search on the web for "Inted Customer Service" and found a site that had a email address. I emailed Intec and told them about my problem and they said they would replace the power adapter with proof of purchase if I mailed it to them. It's a lot cheaper to mail them just the power adapter then to return the entire package so I'm going to try that.
 Great Idea...if only it worked. November 19, 2008
Had this for about a month, it stopped working. Also, prior to it giving up the ghost, the plug in the back started shorting out. For me, this was a waste of money - wish I had kept the reciept...

Chargers work great. Cooling Fan is a little noisy... but well worth extending the life of your Wii!
Batteries die immediately and customer service sucks November 8, 2008

I purchased this item in the hopes of not having to use batteries, however, the rechargable batteries quickly die and do not hold a charge. I have returned the product to intec once and finally received a new one. One of the batteries never worked and now (approx. a month later) the other is almost dead. In addition, I immediately contacted intec and they are now referring me to their Canadian customer service. I say do not by a product from intec.
Batteries die after a few months October 19, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I've owned this unit for a few months now and I play with my wii console on and off. I haven't used the console for a month now and wanted to power the console up and play a game. To my disappointment the rechargeable batteries will no longer keep a charge of longer than a few minutes.
I don't know whether I was supposed to always remove them from the charging station after the led's indicated that a full charge was complete, but most re-charging stations these days have a built in off-switch so as not to over-charge the batteries. I'm guessing this unit doesn't have this feature and that's how the batteries died.
The design itself is annoying as well, since there is a constant noisy fan running while this unit is plugged in. the only way to turn off the fan is to unplug the unit.
I would not recommend this product and i'm searching for a better replacement.
