Psyclone Recharge Station Will Break Your Wiimote

Dec. 31 12:50 PM by Lynxara

Check out the Amazon feedback for the Psyclone Wii Remote Charging Station. It's pages of stories about Wii remotes left in overnight, to emerge from the station hot to the touch and inoperable. It seems the Psyclone doesn't stop charging remotes once the batteries are full, causing heat damage.

Psyclone's webpage offers a disclaimer that just sort of hints at the full extent of the problem.

WARNING - Rechargeable batteries left unattended in the recharge unit for an extended period of time may cause the batteries and/or unit to overheat. If the Wii (TM) remote doesn't charge properly or begins to heat up, please stop the charge process and contact our customer service line to prevent further damage.

Psyclone offers to replace damaged Wii remotes, but cut out the middleman and just don't buy their product to begin with. If you want a Wii remote charging station, go with Nyko's

Nyko's is totally great, I can attest to that!

 

I keep hearing that Nyko is a great third party accessory company. I guess I need to blacklist Pscyclone along with Mad Catz.
