Default Wii question....

Bought the wii console and bits and bobs the other week,then yesterday bought a powerstation docking bay for console and remotes(with rechargable batteries)from argos.
Just opened the docking bay box and cant find power cable to supply it with power???Does the wii console supply the power when its docked??
Or am i a lead short??
cheers for any help.

I bought rechargeable batteries as the ones that come in the docking station thing are a very low mAH rating (1400 I think). You can buy ones with double the charge.
