Duracell 15-Minute Battery Charger with 4 AA Batteries: $34.99 at Circuit City
The Duracell 15-minute charger provides maximum power performance in a minimal amount of time. The new charger is capable of charging four 2400 mAh AA cells in just 15 minutes — delivering up to four times as many photos as an ordinary alkaline battery with every charge. In addition, the Duracell 15-minute charger will power all standard AA or AAA NiMH batteries.
They have also released a new USBCELL battery that plugs into your USB slot on your computer for re-charging. This is brand new and will retail for $24.99 for 2 AA batteries. It has been found out that these batteries do not last as long and take a long time to charge however. Also trying to charge them may be a hassle for many if you have a ton of USB slots already taken up by other devices. I'm not sure where you can buy these since they are so new. Interesting none the less.

For me, I think I'd just pick up the 15 minute charger with the 4 AA's. The reviews for that have been extremely good and they say that the batteries last longer than regular Alkaline. While the USBCELL could take 5 hours to charge and even then would not last as long as the Duracell. I do think the USBCELL idea is very cool and maybe in the future they will make a little bit faster to charge and less expensive as well.

I currently have never needed a battery charger, but since I was kinda worried about the whole Wii-mote battery life dying on me all the time; I had to look around the Internet for some solutions to the problem. It looks like I've found at least a couple solutions.
Have you ever read Wii users manual carefully enough? Nintendo has stated it very clearly not to use NI-MH battery!
No it doesn't read teh manual yourself again it says you can use it--- it in the middle of the manual, what is says is do not charge the battries in the control....
Don't cause confusion!!!!!!!!
