The pack is manufactured by a Japanese company called Thanko and is due for release there soon. Currently there no news on a release anywhere else.
From Joystiq.com
Thanko's lithium-ion battery and USB charge cradle, which can draw power from one of the Wii's USB ports, are retailing in Japan at ¥3,480 (US$29) per set or at the slightly discounted rate of ¥6,480 (US$54) for two sets. A three-and-a-half hour charge will, according to Thanko's press release, keep a Wii Remote powered for 25 hours.
Most likely we will be seeing a series of these chargers pop up over the next few months. No one likes having to replace batteries, what were you thinking Nintendo?

How fast can one be delivered?
There will be some around that won't have to be imported soon so I would wait for them. MadCatz or some wellknown brand will no doubt be finishing one now.
as far as i'm aware there's a Joyttech one coming soon also... sometime in March apparently
and here's the link...
