Is this type of wiimote rechargable battery pack good?

Hi,
Is the below wiimote rechargable battery pack good and reliable?
Or can recommend me some good and reliable wiimote charger/charging station? Thank you!

What model is it? Who's the seller?

[sonicboyz]

Quite many people selling those online(amazon, ebay, taobao and china websites). Think it is just some OEM battery pack without any specific brand or model.

I wouldn't recommend those battery packs. They do work, but the battery has to be recharged frequently.

I recommend using 2 AA Eneloop batteries and a La Crosse battery charger.

I think the default batteries can be replaced with better ones if they are lousy.
I just like the idea of charging via the USB cable, just like my PS3 controller.

Plugging batteries in and out can be quite troublesome, especially for the younger kids.

So my next option will be a non-wireless charging station/dock.
But read that such devices(the hardware, not the batteries) don't last, they die fast.

Yep, charging docks are pretty bad.

Have you considered the Energizer wireless (induction) chargers?

Fully charging a 3600mAH battery using a USB port (500ma) would take 7.2 hours.

I don't know but I heard that wireless charging is very slow too.
