5 out of 5 stars Needed.   June 25, 2006

If you bought the Premium Xbox 360, or have a wireless controller, and dont want to be throwing batterys away every fifteen minutes, you need this.

Theres no two ways about it, Rechardgable AA Batterys dont last nearly as long, and theres no telling when they will run out.

Using this battery pack allows you to see how much energy is left in the battery while in the guide blade during a game, as well as a half way warning, which will increase in frequency until it runs out. (These warnings dont disturb you, the ring of light just flashes alternatly)

The only problem is, there is no need for it to be expensive, and a charger cable needs to be bought seperatly. At least its a one time purchase.



5 out of 5 stars So much easier than eating duracells   March 5, 2006

If you're going to spend hours at the sofa trying to get on the the Gotham Heroes Channel or dispell the dark could of the invading German army from the fields of Normandy in Call Of Duty 2, you are going to develop a serious battery habit.

Microsoft deceided to deny us the chance to buy our own rechargables by making the recharge points proprietry - you can only use this battery pack.

And for the price, you could buy a lot of batteries, but long term this will pay off and be better for the environment with less dead batteries in landfill sites.


5 out of 5 stars Brilliant compared to batteries   October 27, 2008

i got my xbox last christmas when i was in GAME lookin for cheap things in the after christmas sales i came across a play and charge kit for 11 which is quite cheap i wanted to see if my rechargable battery pack was better than my normal battery pack so i put brand new duracell batteries in 1 controller and charged the other until full battery i got my friend up to play halo 3..... the batteries wer finished in 2days and i had lost one bar of battery on my rechargeable battery pack (i also hav to say i had the headset in the rechargable battery pack controller which uses more battery)after this i bought a rechargerable battery pack for my other controller it now takes at least a week of serious gaming to drain the battery!!


My Opinion: as u can see by the comment i encourage every one with a wireless xbox controller to buy one of these!!!




4 out of 5 stars Useful but perhaps a tad overpriced?   May 7, 2007

If you are using a wireless controller and find yourself forever replacing the batteries, then you might like to consider this.

In conjunction with the quick charger kit, this battery will be fully charged in ~2 hours (for a single battery) or ~4 hours (for two in the charger at the same time). This then gives around 20 hours of play, which is pretty good.

However, for what is essentially a NI-MH battery cell, it is expensive - especially when you consider the quick charger kit comes with a battery as well and is only a third more expensive. Having said that, it's easier, faster and perhaps cheaper than using normal rechargeable NI-MH AA batteries.

The alternative is the play and charge kit, but either you need to plan it in advance or have the wireless controller connected to the console for a period of time - kinda defeating the object of it being wireless in the first instance!



4 out of 5 stars Does exactly what it says on the tin.   March 31, 2006

A definite must have for all your controllers - so long as you either buy the fast charger unit or one of the battery/charging lead kits.

I bought one of the battery and charger kits plus one of these batteries for my other controller. I'll more than likely buy one of these rechargable batteries as soon as I get any more controllers as I became sick of the normal batteries running out mid-game. Having a rechargable battery and charge-and-play lead means I don't tend to leave recharging until the last minute any more!

It only loses one star for the price. Given the cost of the controllers I think it's a bit of a money grabber for Microsoft when I consider it such a necessary part of the kit.
