A new battery charger has been released for the Nintendo Wii console, which allows users to charge two controllers at once.
Penguin United’s ElectroFlow Induction Charger uses a combination of induction technology and lithium-ion batteries to charge the remote controls.
The special induction capabilities mean that they can be charged without having to remove the controller’s silicon jacket, which hides access to the battery compartment.
Each charging session will give gamers between eight and 14 hours of continuous play, while adapters such as Nunchucks and Motion Plus can also be left plugged into the bottom of the remotes.
Richard Huang, president of Penguin United, said that the ElectroFlow is a great addition to any Wii accessory arsenal.
He added: “Simply drop the remotes in the dock and it starts to charge instantly without metal contact points to line up and it charges straight through the remote jacket. Just drop it and charge it.”
Charging units such as the ElectroFlow system mean that gamers no longer have to keep a supply of batteries with them ready to swap when the power runs out. Controllers can also be charged overnight so that they are ready for gamers to use again the next day.
