Review: Great Deal! And Great Packs! - These batteries were amazing I've had them for about 2 months and so far no issues. On days were I am playing all day these will last you almost a full days charge which is good considering I am playing all day with rumble. But hey you get two of them so you can just charge the one you used then plug in your new one, simple. **UPDATE** 8/4/20 I forgot to mention that prior to this purchase I bought these same packs once before and they only lasted about 6 months before breaking (The charging port broke probably due to me pulling out the wire too hard) but I bought these packs in November of 2019 and with careful management these battery packs are still going strong and it's been 10 months! There was only one problem I started to notice after about 6 to 7 months in and it was that the battery wouldn't warn me that they were about to die so sometimes they would die without warning I'm not sure if it's my controller or the packs but it isn't too big a deal. As for the gaming time it's still about a full day's of charge with each pack (I play at least 10 hours a day since the whole COVID-19 thing happened) so the battery life is still really good. I still recommend you buy these even after all this time. TL;DR Packs still work good and battery life is about the same, still recommend after all this time.
Review: THESE ARE AMAZING - Looking through the reviews it seemed there was a mix of positive and negative. But I risked it for the biscuit and damn I'm happy with these. In the amount of time I've used these I probably would have went through about 16 sets of batteries. (Multiple people in my house play the Xbox so it's on all of the time basically) In the amount of time I've had these, which is about a month, I've only had to recharge them both a couple of times. The charge last between 3-4 days on each battery. That's outstanding considering about 80% of the time I also have a headset hooked up to the controller. The charger cable it comes with is legit about 10 feet long, and the back battery covers are of high quality work no breaking and way to place onto the back panel of the controller. Bottom line, best purchase I've made accessory wise for the Xbox. I COULDN'T recommend these enough for the ridiculous low price on them. Edit: updating my review 2 years later and these things are still holding up perfectly. They still hold charge for about the same length of time, which is multiple days and pretty heavy sessions. I can’t recommend these enough. This sounds dramatic, but this literally has to be the #1 best budget purchase of an item I have ever made. If you want rechargeable battery packs for your controller, you can’t go wrong with these. 2-3 years of having the same battery packs, and holding the same charge this entire time is astounding. If you’re looking at these, don’t second guess it. Just purchase them.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would it fit the new xbox one S controller?**
A: The battery will fit and work, but the replacement controller door will not fit the newer series S / X controllers. In order to get this working with my newer X controller, I took the battery door that came with the controller and cut a hole to fit the battery and expose the charging terminals.

**Q: So the chord charges the battery pack? Why not just either buy a chord by itself and plug into controller or buy rechargeable batteries?**
A: If your battery dies while you are playing and you are using regular rechargeable batteries - game play stops.  with these, if it dies while playing you plug it in and it charges while you play.   These are great and charge on a separate base as well.  Their price is comparable to any rechargeable AA Battery without the hassle.  Also, a chord is a musical note and cord is used to plug in the controller, if needed.

PowerA Charging Base - comes with batteries   https://www.amazon.com/PowerA-Charging-Station-Xbox-One-White/dp/B01MQGSFQQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1532950367&sr=8-3&keywords=powera%2Bcharging%2Bstation%2Bfor%2Bxbox%2Bone%2B-%2Bwhite&th=1

**Q: Does the Elite controller fit/seat properly on this charger?**
A: No this charger won't fit the elite controller. The battery door doesn't fit the elite controller because it's different from the standard controller. i would recommend a standard play and charge kit.

**Q: Do these work with the Nyko charge dock?**
A: Yes

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product, works exactly as intended. Included cable was no good, however.
*by L***E on May 23, 2023*

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.
