The Wii Balance Board that comes bundled with Wii Fit runs on batteries, like pretty much all wireless peripherals. nYko has produced rechargeable docking stations for wireless controllers on the Wii already. So why not go ahead and be the first to come out with a rechargeable energy pak for the Wii Balance Board?

"Nyko has led the way for innovative and convenient charging solutions across all current-generation platforms”, said Chris Arbogast, Director of Marketing at Nyko Technologies. “It is a natural direction for Nyko to offer a rechargeable battery solution for the Wii Balance Board in a fashion that allows the user to recharge and play simultaneously.

The energy pak looks pretty simple: a small, square-ish adaptor with an AC port that can easily be removed and re-inserted without hassle.

With the energy pak, you won't have to be interrupted during gameplay to replace the batteries, which is quite a nuisance in the modern world of gaming. The energy pak has up to twenty hours of play time when it is fully charged. Plus, you can have it charging while playing so you can play for an eternity if you would like. It is placed on the bottom of the board, and you can easily detach the plug without having to turn the board over. The energy pak will start at $19.99 USD.
