PowerA Play & Charge Kit for Xbox, Wireless Controller Charging, Charge, Rechargeable Battery, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One - Xbox Series X

I live in a house with 3 kids who can be rough on controllers. After I noticed we were going through batteries like crazy, I realized the culprit was a controller that had the micro USB cable inserted improperly/bent while in use so many times that the port was more or less no longer functional, so they'd just been manually replacing AA batteries, and due to habits such as leaving the controller on when not in use, were burning through 2 batteries almost every day.Wanting to nip this unnecessary expenditure in the bud before it really started to add up, I found these. I'll be honest, I just looked for the cheapest ones I could find and called it a day. I assumed only one pack would be included at that price, but I only needed one, so it was alright.Not only did I receive TWO, a pleasant surprise, but I also realized that the packs do not charge via the controller's built-in charging port, (which was destroyed on the controller in question) but they actually have their own separate Micro USB charging port on the battery pack itself. A very convenient workaround which allowed me to essentially bypass the broken charging port and restore the otherwise good and working controller to full and proper function. Not only that, but when it was inevitably misplaced (I don't know how, considering the way you attach it to the controller mounts it on there pretty good, but these kids have never ceased to surprise me) I had a backup already ready to replace it.Excellent product, works as intended, very reasonable price, you get two, you can charge it on or off the controller via any micro USB cable, and it can also serve as a workaround if you have a damaged charging port on your controller. Would highly recommend.

I’ve owned this for 2 years now and it charges with no issues and it last for a few hours and charge but I usually play with the battery plugged in since I have a long cord (no long cord is included)

Batteries work great. As good as the ones that come with a brand new controller.

Overall, the charging station itself is a phenomenal purchase, however there are a few notes to consider about the rechargeable batteries that come with it. First, the rechargeable batteries have a small window, or 'sweet spot', where they must sit on the charging station in order for them to actually charge. This sweet spot can be difficult to find, and it often led to frustration. Lastly, after only about a month, the battery packs corroded and they became unusable. The connections to the controller were fine, but the contacts between the charging station and the packs themselves became dingey and then would not take charge. However, for the lower price than the name brand, and the option to replace the rechargeable battery packs, the charging station itself is a great item.

Used this for 4 years. One of the batteries went bad because I didn't use it, but the charging dock and the other battery is still going strong.

I’ve had this Xbox charging station for almost 3 years and it’s still going strong. The quality is great and the battery life lasts a long time. Definitely one of the best purchases I’ve made!Poner español

The charging base is ok. It can charge the control or be used to store the control without charging. Pushing down on the control switches between the two. Sometimes I have had cases when the charging light is flashing and I'm still not sure if this means the control is not charging or if it's overheating? I have removed and placed my controller back down when this happens and it seems to be fully charged shortly after, so I don't think it means it had a poor connection. I can't find any information to explain this.The battery seems to have decent life even with a headset plugged in. The charging time is also quite fast. The battery itself seems to be good, but I was a little bit mislead by the product because I thought I would be able to charge it when it's not installed in the control like the previous generation of this product, but that is not the case.Edit, the issue with the flashing LED hasn't happened in months so I'm not sure what that was about. I'm happy with this charging kit and would buy one again. I hope the battery will hold up well.

It lasted me two years and I let the battery work. I think it's good, but I can't find replacements anymore. I started using rechargeable batteries. I think they're better.
