With my kids home this summer they were burning through batteries having to put new batteries in the wii hand held portion every 1-2 days. (They go in the rectangular thing with buttons instead of the roundish thing with a little thumb joystick. I don't know if it's the nunchuk or baton or stick. My sons get very upset when I use the wrong term, anyway..)
My wife got them this DreamGear wii charger with the idea of saving on batteries. It's supposed to charge the things without plugging in cables. You just set the things on top of the device. It worked maybe twice and now all it was doing was making the things hot and strangely, the smoke alarm went off twice in the last 24 hrs for a few seconds despite nobody able to smell any smoke and doing nothing to the smoke detectors, they turned off on their own.
Is there a recall on these things that I've not been able to find? Needless to say, we've disconnected the device.
