Do you use a charger for your controllers?

My husband and I bought charge stations for both our wii and our 360. It was getting to be a little much to keep replacing batteries, and so we knew we had to get a charge station. For the wii we have the four slot charge station, and for the 360 we have two of the two slot charge stations. This has really helped us a lot as we can now just grab the controller from it's charge station and start playing, then put it back when we're done.
So did you buy one?
If not I recommend saving up for one and getting it, it will definitely beat paying for batteries over and over again, plus it's more environmental.

I totally agree with you here where I do have an Xbox 360 that often consumes the battery from its controller. I happen to have an extra battery on my old remote control car and replace it on my controller. As to the charger, I created and designed my own because I do have the knowledge in Electronics.

That is very cool and I am sure definitely handy to have knowledge in electronics. You were able to build your own charger, and I bet even customize it to look the way you wanted it to. Did you make it also electrically better?

Yes of course and I could explain every part on why I could make it more technically better but sad to say that you need to have at least some basic knowledge in Electronics to understand my explanation. Remember, the most important part of using a battery is to look for its current and voltage output where it should match the required power supply on your controller. Not doing so could result a malfunction on your gadgets.

Oh I don't think I would want to try to make a battery! I am just impressed when I hear others have made their own battery or battery charger!
