There is now a Wii in the house, so I need to get my act together
to keep its various bits supplied with power.

Is this about the best bet for rechargeable AA batteries?

I would recommend you get some of the hybrid NIMH batteries (Enloop are
Sanyo's brand), as they have a far, far lower self discharge rate, so when
you don't use the Wii for a few months, they will still be good to go, and
not flat.

Maplin sell them (at price!) I expect a similar version is available
cheaper
