Like the Wii remotes, the Wii FIT balance board is a battery drinker. I would strongly recommend this rechargable battery pack. The pack connects to the Wii system when not in use, standard charge lasts over 20 hours of play, longer (following future charges). The pack itself fits neatly into the bottom of the balance board, lid and all. The only product negative may be that some other brands may cost slightly less
This Battery Pack is a MUST for Wii Fit, No Copper Tops Required June 17, 2008

Being a Wii Fit owner and user and going through batteries rapidly in the first couple days I saw this product and said I must have it. It isn't expensive when you think of the $100s that would be spent on batteries. The batteries made for digital and games are even more costly than so called regular batteries.
This product is great, a requirement for hours of Wii fit use and simple USB connection for charging. Yes, the chord should be longer, however, just grab via Amazon the USB cable extension (9.8 feet) and you should have no issue with connection due to distance from Wii unit to computer or other USB powered device.
For me all of my Wii, HDTV, sound system, desktop, and laptop are all in close proxsimity living in a NYC apartment.
Simple fixes for the the short chord are as follows:
1) if you have a laptop and being they are quite mobile, keep it nearby and thus you can connect the charger to the laptop.
2) Or plug it directly into the Wii console as for me the console is close enough with the chord to do so.
3) for $4-$6 look for the "Cables To Go" brand of the USB 10Ft extension. Link here - Cables To Go - 26686 - 3M (9.8ft) USB A Male to A Female Extension Cable (White)
I have a few and the are great when you need to have equipment either further apart or guests are there and the extra length is needed etc.
In any case I suggest and recommend this product for all Wii fit owners, well worth the $20 price tag for the 100's saved over time with environment killing batteries.
Good to have June 21, 2008

It is a good thing to have.
Plug it in when wii is not in use, to get a full charge.
Unplug to play with a 100% full battery power.
IF the adaptor cord were longer.... you could leave in while you play... but the cord is to short to be able to do that.

If you plan on using your Wii Fit Balance Board often, then you definately need the rechargable battery pack. It recharges off of the Wii unit, so no need to plug it into a wall outlet.
