Disconnect the Wiimote without pulling the batteries?

[23732]

I have a Wiimote and it works flawless in Dolphin, but is there a way to disconnect without pulling the batteries or put the remote in sleep mode?

As of right now, I have it connected and paired at all time, but it's killing the batteries in the Wiimote. And if I pull out the batteries, the Wiimote won't connect unless I remove it as a device, then pair the Wiimote again.
Or do I have to have Dolphin and a game open to put the remote to sleep?

I am using Dolphin 3.0 & Dolphin 3.0-842, on Windows x64.

Thanks in advance for answers

Just hold the power button on the remote.
