The Wiire had a chance to speak with Lance Barr concerning Nintendo Wii’s controllers.

According to Barr, at this time, the batteries powering the Wiimote  are not internally rechargable.

Barr said that the Wii controllers currently operate on AA batteries, either standard alkaline, lithium ion batteries, or rechargable batteries. Barr stated that, at launch “It’s would be cheaper for us to provide AA batteries,” and mentioned that a rechargeable battery pack sold separately might be an option.

Barr also mentioned that due to the limitations of the adapter port on the bottom of the Wii controller, there are no plans for an internally chargable battery like the Apple iPod or Nintendo DS. they asked Barr if the Wii controller battery life will be similar to that of the GameCube’s WaveBird. “Absolutely not,” said Barr, further explaining the amount of information sent with the Wii controller is substantially greater than the WaveBird’s data transfer.

The Nintendo WaveBird lasts for approximately 100 hours when using standard alkaline batteries, so the Wii controllers can be expected to have a shorter battery life than this.
