The rechargeable batteries are included, which seems to be the standard, as are new battery backs for the Wii Remote that allow you to recharge without removing the batteries. You will have to take off the silicone Wii Remote "condoms" if you use those but there is a small notch so you don't have to worry about removing wrist straps.

While the batteries are charging you get an orange light, once fully charged it glows green. Again pretty standard stuff.

All in all there is nothing new or unique or fascinating about the recharging system. After nearly 150 years I don't think they have changed much other than the battery compositions and their lifetime.

Before I wrap this up I have to add that this thing is sexy*. I have my system laying flat with the charging dock and it just looks with lines and curves and the glowing lights and of course the shining Energizer lettering.

So after a few days use the charger is working exactly as it should. It is charging, lights are glowing, batteries aren't dying. I highly HIGHLY recommend a rechargeable batteries regardless of what system you choose.

*That's right I said sexy got a problem with it? Everyone else has given my funny looks... but I can't see you guys and you guys can't see me! :-P

This includes:
• the charging station
• two NiMH rechargeable battery packs
• two battery covers
• power cord

As stated above the included batteries are NiHM (or Nickel-Metal Hydride) these were unfamiliar to me so i looked them up.
Apparently they have a much shorter life cycle that the NiCD and LiOn rechargeable that people are so use to seeing in their cellphones and digital cameras.
