Batteries and Wii fit plus

I hear in different post about the good and bad about Wii fit plus. I think re-chargeable are a good idea. My question is simple how long does the batteries last and how many it takes. I got it for Christmas and can not wait to try it.

I got a Wii for Christmas.  I am hoping that my hubby will surprise me with the Wii fit plus.  Other than the wands is there something else that uses batteries?

Nieto, This is a great Christmas present. Lucky you

sorry, I don't know how to answer your question but I am sure you can find the answer in the fitness forum. there are many threads about Wii fit plus there.

Merry Christmas.

I've had my Wii for about a year now. After having it a few months, I thought I'd get one of the rechargeable battery systems and it was actually way to much of an inconvienence because you have to take the protective jacket off in order to put it into the charger. What I do instead is use rechargeable AA batteries and always keep an extra pair charged and ready to swap out when the ones in the remote get to low. Hope that helps.

I have two extra batteries for each controller that gets used the most and four extra for the balance board.

You can get a loading dock for the controllers, it automatically charges them when not in use.

This is what we have. It is awesome. The kids put the remotes back in the charger when done each time and they are always ready to go.  

Thank you all, Just got back from vacation and the Wii fit is great. I think I will be using the re-chargable batteries. I have been using it for a week every day and it looks like it is still going strong. So far the free-running works best for me maybe when I loose some weight i will try the hula again. (I got no hips)
