 Don't make a mistakeAug 12, 2008
By Gary
I bought this in a bundle from a major retailer and had a problem with the fit board only to find out Nintendo says this voids your warrenty. Right now I am having to pay postage and repairs for the item. They did show me in the handbook where it states the use of NON-Wii items voids the warrenty. I think the retailers should back the warrenty as they are selling this in bundles and I don't think everyone would know it was wrong to use it.

short cord, and will only charge while unit is on!Jun 03, 2008
By Savvy shopper
"Andi"
I purchased this product at the same time I pre-ordered the Wii Fit.
I personally had no problems with the syncing of my board.
I initially used the enclosed batteries to set up the board as the charger needed to well, charge.
My first gripe is this: right on the packaging it states that you can charge while in game play.
Ummm no, the cord is too short!!!!
There is no way you can perform the excerise saftly with a short cord plugged into the Wii's usb, which now would need to be placed on the floor.
A completely ridiculous theory in my opinion, so do not buy it for this feature!
For an example to how short the cord is:
My tv is on a reletively low 2 shelf tv stand.
The Wii sits next to the tv.
I attatched charger to the usb port and to the board, which now has to be stood up.
I cannot even lay the board flat directly in front of the tv.
My second gripe is that it will only charge while the Wii unit is on.
I personally don't like running my unit for all those extra hours unnessasarily, I'm afraid of burning out the motor quite frankly.
I gave is three stars as it does actually charge the unit.

 A good value but two annoyancesJun 04, 2008
By C. Petit
When I purchased the Wii Fit, I also purchased this pack at the same time.
It's definitely a good value, since the Wii Fit probably drains AA batteries quickly. I've used mine for 9 days with no problems. As long as the battery pack is charged, I can unplug the board and use it as far away as I'd like.
Unfortunately, the USB cord is pretty short and, in addition, the recharge pack covers the Sync button you use to setup the board.
Overall a good value, but those issues are minor annoyances.

 Be Aware--Voids Warranty!!!Aug 05, 2008
By Susan Hopson
I had the same problem as described in other reviews of Communication Lost. Just got off the phone with Nintendo & found out that it caused damage to the B. Board. Even after putting regular batteries in, it still lost commumication. I now have to send it in for repair,& wait approx. 2 wks. to get it back. Warranty is VOIDED for using a product that is not licensed by Nintendo. This also goes for the rechargeable batteries with a charging station for the controllers.

Must have for wii fitMay 23, 2008
By Kaytlin Modzelewski
The wii fit, like the wiimotes comes with starter batteries. but it is pretty much a battery drainer. save your self some money in the long run and invest in this rechargable battery.
i've had the wii fit for a few days now and i spend 45 minutes doing the exercises, and additional time looking thru the menus. so that means i could only use the balance board about 20 times or 20 days before having to replace the batteries.
plus the rechargables are greener, since they dont have to go in a landfill :)
