With its Contact-Free Charger, SPEEDLINK offers a charging station that makes charging procedures as easy as possible. To ensure your Wiimotes™ are always fully charged, just place them on the charger – the charging station produces an induction field so you don’t need to connect them using a cable. How many times have you found that supposedly charged battery packs don’t supply any power for some unexplained reason due to faulty cable connections? With the Contact-Free Charger, faulty cable connections are a thing of the past. The charging process starts as soon as you place the Wiimote™ on the Contact-Free Charger – and charging also works even if the Wii™ console is switched off.
The Contact-Free Charger offers you the opportunity to charge up to two Wiimotes™ or battery packs at the same time. Silicone skins or Nunchuks™ can stay attached, and even the MotionPlus™ accessory doesn’t need to be removed during charging.

To use the Contact-Free Charger, all you need to do is replace the standard batteries in the Wiimotes™ with the supplied battery packs. During the charging process, the Contact-Free Charger’s integrated LED will light up red, turning blue as soon as the Wiimotes™ are fully charged.
The Contact-Free Charger connects between the AC adapter and the Wii™ console using the supplied T cable allowing the Wiimotes™ to be charged even when the Wii™ console is off.
It takes up to four hours to fully charge a flat battery pack – which isn’t any longer than a normal charger. After six hours, the power supply is automatically cut-off to prevent overcharging. Each battery pack provides up to 20 hours of gaming time – which means you have 2×20 hours in total.

It’s the technology of the future. I guess even battery cars wil use this inthe future, park the car in your garage, get out of the car and it charges while you sleep.
