Some Wii controllers eat batteries -- some don't?

[Gamer]

Hey guys I dont know if anyone remembers me I used to post a long time ago. I just got a wii on launch and its sweet! The batteries in the remote do get eatin up quickly, the only solution is rechargeables!!!

But I thought they tell you not to use rechargeables... Though I'm not sure exactly why they would...

Rechargeables are essentially the same thing, I cant see there being a problem with using them over normal batteries. ... but who knows haha

ps, sweet glad to see NEO remembers me!

Ha, Gamer's back.

At any rate, I use rechargeable batteries all the time on my Wii-Mote and it doesn't change the battery life at all from when I used regular alkaline batteries as far as I can tell.
