All IR controllers would use batteries yes. I was refering to using it as a primary controller (instead of a joystick) because using it for an IR controller is not physically possible as I mentioned earlier. That being the other way to use it, however again it uses a blu-tooth wireless signal which violates other rules.

To sum up there is no way to use a wii-mote within the rules unless you heavily modify it into something that conforms to the rules (i.e. wired and powered by the o/i game port or chicklet). At that point though there would have been cheaper and more practical ways to do the same thing so why bother wasting time with the what ifs.
