Nintendo has possibly the least elegant implementation for its Wii remote as far as battery power is concerned. While users can recharge their PS3 and Xbox 360 controllers easily via USB, they generally have to rely on third-party chargers for the Wii, which may be incompatible with silicon sleeves and the latest Wii MotionPlus attachments. Nonetheless, Energizer is addressing these issues with its Wii Energizer 4x charging station. This mousepad-like gadget utilizes induction technology that enables contact-free battery recharging for up to four remotes in any configuration.

Game portal Kotaku has given the US$49.99 Wii Energizer 4x charging station a go and has published a review here. There's no indication of Asia availability and pricing for this product, unfortunately.
