The current design of the Wii Remote uses two AA batteries as a power source, which can power a Wii Remote for 60 hours using just the accelerometer functionality, and 30 hours using also the pointer functionality. For the Wii Remote a direct recharging option has not been revealed. According to an interview with Nintendo industrial designer Lance Barr, limitations of the Wii Remote's expansion port make it unlikely that it will be used for internal battery charging. Nintendo of America's Senior Director of Public Relations, Beth Llewelyn, has stated that Nintendo "hasn't quite figured out what to do about power for the Remotes".
rechargable batteries losers...3rd party will take care of this.. just like they did with 360.. why no one making a fuss about 360?

not a big deal,just buy 2AA rechargable batteries and use an exteral charger to charge them,the external charges cost the same as a play and charge kit for 360 anyways
