    Hi Everyone,

    Just getting organised for Christmas. Picked up the Xtravision deal on at the moment, and now want to be sure I am not let down due to lack of a Wii Charger or spare battery solution.

    I have no clue what I need, so would appreciate any advice or current recommendations as to what I will need to keep the Wii action going over Christmas. :confused:

    - Do I need a docking/charging solution ?
    - Spare batteries ? What kind/type ? From where ?
    - etc..

    Thanks in advance for your help ! :pac:

    I have two Wiimotes and got this, it comes with two rechargeable batteries and rubber grips so you are good to go after that.

    You can get a charging dock if you want. The remotes take 2xAA batteries so you can either get a Wii-specific charger, or a regular battery recharger.

    I got this in Game:

    Can't fault it. Except that the battery cover is a slightly different colour than the actual remote, but I don't really care about that kind of thing, and you can't really see it with the rubber covers on.

    I was in B & Q the other day and picked up a Mains Battery recharger for 4 AA, and a USB charger for 2 AAA including all batteries in the one pack for 12 euro odd I think. I was going to get the charging station but no need now.
