Check battery levels
A fresh set of alkaline batteries should last, depending on amount and
type of use, up to 35 hours. This can vary greatly based on certain
factors, such as Wii Remote Speaker Volume, Rumble, battery quality
and age, and type of game being played.
Important Note: If you are using rechargeable batteries, the only
type of battery recommended are Nickel Metal Hydride batteries. When
it comes to using rechargeable batteries, you must follow manufacturer
guidelines for safety and proper usage. Failure to do so could cause
damage to the Wii Remote and void the warranty.
There are two ways to check the Wii Remote's battery levels:
•
Remove the battery cover and press the Red "Sync" button. The number
of lights flashing indicates the Wii Remote's battery strength. Four
flashing lights indicates full strength, with one light flashing indicating
the lowest level.
or
•
Use the HOME Menu to check battery level of each Wii Remote:
1.
Press the HOME Button on a Wii Remote that is synchronized with
the Wii console.
