Can I charge one battery while the other is in my controller or does the whole controller need to be connected to the base?

No, the batteries charge in the controller. You can't charge the battery alone. I have two controllers so I just swap them out or use the original AA batteries (keep the original battery case cover!) until I'm done.

The whole controller needs to be connected to the base, because not only does the battery 'install' in the controller, you need the whole controller in the stand in order to hold the battery's contacts correctly. I also have to say, you might consider the MS recharging station. My charger works fine, but I have to fiddle with the controller placement a bit in order for it to make contact. Looks cool though.

That totally happened to me. As I said in my review, after switching controllers, I eventually found one that worked. So, I would suggest using different controllers as the charging point until you find the one that will work consistently. If you only have one controller... I don't know what to tell you.

Yes. Charge controllers, like this one, are specially made to go through different charging cycles to extend battery life span and protect batteries from overcharging.Thank you,AW

it won't charge it without a battery, but you can keep it plugged in and use the controller without batteries it just has to remain plugged in the whole time.

Yes, two six volt in series. Connect the + of one battery to the - of the other, and then connect the controller to the plus and minus ends as if it were one big battery.

I don't think you can connect 1 solar panel to multiple controllers effectively at the same time. I would rotate the batteries as needed for charging; only one controller would be needed.

There is one inside controller.And u buy one separately a wall charger or USB.

Only one battery is needed for each wiimote control. So, two batteries = two controllers.

They mean the controller itself. And since it has an auto turn-off feature, so you won't have to charge it often.

The solar controller and generated can be connected to the same battery in parallel and not have any problems.I would only see an isolator or disconnect switch necessary if you wanted to remove your batteries and switch them with a different set or configuration.That way you can disconnect your panels while managing your batteries. This is good for preventing your charge controller from getting damaged.Let us know if you need further assistance.Regards,AW

Correct. You do not need a seperate charge controller unless you are putting more than 15watts to the battery. That's three panels! It says the same thing in the owners manual.Correction: I see this is for the 7watt panel. In this case that would be TWO panels total. I have the 5watt panels, so that is where the math came from. The 15watt limit before needing the charge controller still applies for all panels.

I'm sure you can. Weird that the other charger was unable to charge the controller.

Yes. I disconnect the battery from my camper 'load' during the day, allowing the battery to charge, then switch back to battery in the evening. Just requires in-line switch for 'load' side of controller to camper and in-line switch from battery to camper. Has been working quite well.

Yes but they have to be charged via the camera. That means you can charge one battery at a time while it is connected to the camera unless you buy a separate charger. So...if you are hoping to charge one battery and use the 2nd battery on the camera while the first one charges your out of luck.

Although I don't recall the instructions saying that you can do this, I suppose that you could. However, since they do not provide a wall charging adapter you'd be taking a risk of killing your battery and controller. I'm not sure why you would want to do this though. It's simple enough to just plug your controller into your One and disconnect when you want to play. Since the One will still charge in standby mode your controller will always be ready to use. I've had 0 problems with this product.

You don't have to buy batteries for the controller, it's really convinient to have this and charge the controller during downtime.

Hi,The Inverter hooks directly to the battery, never to the charge controller.Thanks,RenogyTO
