PowerV Duo
Konnet

Charging Wiimotes wrapped in their thick rubber jackets has always been a hassle for most Nintendo Wii owners. You could either strip off the overlay each time you recharge the batteries or go with Konnet's PowerV Duo, which utilizes induction technology to juice up the power cells.

Users just have to drop the remote, with or without the jacket, onto either of the two docks to get started. As a bonus, there are two overhead USB ports for other gadgets like your mobile phone, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 controllers.

As a side note, the $35 PowerV Duo at first glance resembles a space battle cruiser from those sci-fi movies. The charger is bundled with a Nintendo DS USB cable, an AC adapter, and a pair of 800mAH Ni-MH battery packs for the Wiimotes.
