New rechargeable Wii battery packs

[etoven]

Not from Nintendo, but interesting. My main question is what SORT of rechargeable are we talking about here? If it's nickel cadmium, forget it. If it's lithium ion, I'm getting this as soon as it comes out. At least the look fits with the Wii style.

Wait so you have to replace the batteries in the Wii Mote? That sucks that Nintendo did include a charging system for a controller that probably gets 12 hours of use a day and eats batteries for lunch.
