Nyko to the Rescue: Wii Balance Board Energy Pak

The track record of useful accessories to come out of Nyko is all over the place. The Nyko Intercooler has often been blamed for causing overheating problems with the Xbox 360; the Wiimote Charge Station has been absolutely wonderful for me; and the Nunchuk Wireless Adapter is just downright silly, if you ask me.
But their newest accessory for Wii looks to be quite useful for anyone planning on picking up Wii Fit or the Wii Balance Board — the Nyko Energy Pak will fit right into the Balance Board’s battery compartment and provide you with up to 30 hours of balance acts, and will also allow you to charge and play at the same time.
For $20, it sounds like this is a pretty good bet for anyone that wants to save themselves from the woes of batteries. The Energy Pak (why does it have to be called “Pak”?) releases on May 19.

Well if it goes under the Wii Balance Board then wouldn’t it make it very uneven having that box under it. From the picture it doesn’t look like it could hang off the side (I’m sure the wire being under one side would mess it up too). I think it seems pretty unpractical, are you sure you use it while playing?
