Wiimote how long do their batteries last?

[Rob]

does anyone know how long the wiimotes batteries last. i got mine on friday, started using it in the afternoon used it about 6hr that day, and 6 hrs over total weekend. about 2 hrs on monday and now tuesday afternoon (after school) 1.5hr play, i have 1 bar (red) of battery life left! i need some more batteries after only roughly 15.5hr is that good or not? have i played alittle more than i should have (or is that ok since it's only just been released?)

what do you think about this battery crisis!

yeah same here, ive already gone through the batteries on all 3 of my remotes arghh! apparantly they last 20 hours at most, but less if your using the nunchuck - not relly sure what to do with this one cos nintendo tell you not to use rechargeables (which would be the obvious option!) I bought a bumper pack of decent batteries from toys r us - i think it was 24 batteries for 8 quid, phillips extralife or something, which have been fine, and ive heard that nintendo are looking to release a usb type charger? but nothing currently?

The supplied batteries ah ell a bit rubbish really, get som rechargeables or done duracell and the battery life will go up to 35 hours i heard. Ngamer claimed that at some stage i think.

I heard they last for 30 hours i only have the batterys supplied with the Wii but i am going to buy a pack of batterys just incase :)

Not sure how long rechargeable batterys will last
