Wii remote battery solution

The Wii remote's fun as hell motion sensing and great feeling rumble comes at a price - it eats batteries FAST. Fortunately, British peripherals company Joytech has the solution for us - rechargable battery packs that will sit in a supplied base station and, well, recharge.

Presumably, the station will come provided with new battery doors for the remotes, with holes, that will allow them to easily slip into the charging dock. Good thinking there, Joytech. This is estimated at only $40 US and unless something goes wrong, it'll be an essential Wii accessory. Much more essential than the Wii accessory I already have.
