Hi Guys, I'm having problems getting one of my Wii remote battery packs to hold its charge. Its been a while since ive been on the wii and now 1 out of the 2 works for a couple of minutes and then cuts out, could it be that the lithium ion has hardened through lack of use maybe?
Thanks

Hi clarkjd, Thanks for answering the question. I have two brand new spare battery packs and I tried one of them but the problem still persists, It seems to work fine with non-rechargeable batteries so do you think the new ones have stopped working through lack of use? This problem is baffling me

Ni-Cads are notorious for this kind of behavior. Unless you fully charge them, then fully discharge them, they develop a "memory" and won't discharge past that memory point, even if the battery is fully charged. letting them sit for long periods without use will also cause this behavior.

Oh right I see, that explains what happened to the old one. Since I asked you my last question I tried the other spare that I hadn't tried before and left it on charge a little longer and It appears to be working for the time being.
Thank you for all your help and the information on rechargeable batteries, much appreciated :)
