Works Well

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2024

Easily charge battery packs. Only issue is if you have it where you sleep it has a red/green charging light. Otherwise it’s been working well for me.

It's alright

It gets the job done, it doesn't seem like the battery last as long as it should. The stand it sits on is cheaply made and then the battery pack and cover fit good but apparently there's tons of different types and styles which it doesn't match with what my other system has. All I can say is look around,read and compare everything because they all seem to be different and if possible by the stand and battery at the same time so you know they are compatible.

These little batteries hold a good charge and the set comes with a long charging cable you can plug into the back of your Xbox and play/charge at the same time..

Wish these had USB C. Would make them 10x better. But besides that, does what it needs to do.

Pretty quick to charge. I like the quality of the build. Looks neat. I recommend.

Better than buying batteries or being tethered.

Great product, works exactly as intended. Included cable was no good, however.

Just make sure you're using a powerful enough wall charger. I charged these with a weak dollar store wall charger for a few months unknowingly... thankfully there doesn't seem to be any problem with them. Make sure you get something that can match the requirements of the battery. Search on youtube for charging recommendations, usually your name brand phone charger that comes with your cellphone is pretty good for it. Unfortunately the micro-USB cable that is included with the batteries is very low quality and did not work at all... (easily fixed with a dollar store USB cable so it didn't really bother me.) Great to charge one as soon as it runs out and have the second battery already charged. Each battery will last a long time. I can usually get a full day of playing out of one, but it depends. You'll never have to buy AA Batteries again for your controller.

Not compatible with newer Microsoft controllers

I have had a set of these for years and loved them. Unfortunately one of them died from charging and recharging so many times. So I ordered a new set when I got a new Xbox controller.

Unfortunately, Microsoft decided to change the battery compartment design so that the gap where the charging port for these batteries no longer fit properly.

The included cover, which allows for the pack to stay in the controller, also doesn't fit due to a change in the design (where the tabs slide into the controller chassis).

I couldn't recommend these batteries enough, but unless there is a redesign for the newer controller style, they aren't going to fit properly.
