Energizer Induction Charging Pad for Wii

I just picked up this Induction Charging Pad for my Wii console. It’s a new product from Energizer that runs $49.99, and it allows you to easily charge your Wiimotes without hooking up any wires or removing the silicon sleeves or Wii Motion Plus; just lay the Wiimote on the charging pad after inserting the included battery. If you’ve seen the Palm Pre’s Touchstone charger, this works the same way.

This is a quick unboxing and look. Once I’ve had a chance to use them I’ll update.
