Xbox Play USB Charging Kit for Xbox Series X

This is more conveinient that most other battery alternatives for the Xbox controller, i didnt want to have battery docks and all sorts of noncence so opted for the official battery that charges inside the controller, i used rechargable AA cells before which didnt last very long and of course the headache of having to swap them out, the Xbox battery solves this as you charge and go, or just top it up periodically. The battery life is modest, its about on par with rechargable AA cells which is fine, the only gripe i have is the battery rolloff voltage seems a bit steep, I start playing and the level is about 50% 30 minutes or so the controller just switches off, no prompt from the console that the level is low like using regular cells, if they manage to fix this with a software update i would call it a perfect solution, however the only work around to avoid mid game cutout is to ensure you have the batttery on charge when not in use or have the cable at hand in the event it cuts out, so in essence it solves most of the problems but created a new one. Xbox please make the console detect low power for this pack!!! Its the only thing which would make this a perfect solution.

Needed a solution for constantly hot-swapping AA batteries out of my controller during games, this solved all of my problems. A few months of use and it's already paid for itself compared to how many batteries i'd be going through. Can recharge via USB to the controller while you're playing as well.

Work perfectly in scuff valor pro controller.

If you've just got a new Xbox Series X or S, you've probably already realised the controller still ships with a pair of AA batteries. It feels a bit old-fashioned, and the panic of your controller dying mid-game, followed by a frantic search for fresh batteries, is a pain every gamer knows. This Play & Charge Kit is the official solution, and it's a must-have. The kit is incredibly simple: you get a rechargeable battery pack and a long USB-C cable. You just swap out the standard battery cover on your controller for the one that comes with the pack (it has a little cutout for the charging port) and you're good to go. The battery itself just drops in where the AAs would normally go. The best feature is in the name: "Play & Charge." If you're running low on power, you just plug the cable into the controller and the console, and you can carry on playing. The included cable is a good length, long enough to reach from the console to my sofa without me having to sit on the floor. Battery life is also solid; I get a good 20-25 hours of gaming out of a full charge, which is more than enough for several long sessions. My only small gripe, and the reason for four stars instead of five, is that over time, like all rechargeable batteries, the capacity will eventually start to decrease. It's not something I've noticed yet, but it's inevitable. Still, for the price, it saves a huge amount of money and hassle compared to constantly buying disposable batteries. Verdict: It’s a simple product that does exactly what it needs to. It saves money, eliminates the "low battery" panic, and integrates perfectly with the Xbox controller. It's one of the first accessories you should buy for your new console.

Great as always. I’ve got these in all my controllers. The charge while you play ability is great. Just a shame they don’t have the old cable with the charge/full indicator any more.

Soooooo handy! Love it! Such a great idea of keep changing batteries!

I don't know what it is with Microsoft hardware but it isn't great quality. I purchased this battery pack for my Series X controller. Being a genuine Microsoft product you would expect there to be some kind of quality and piece of mind when buying original equipment. Not with this battery pack though. So mine arrived as normal, packing was undamaged and everything seemed as I would expect. I opened the packaging and inserted the battery into my controller, connecting it via the supplied USB type A to C cable. My Xbox showed the controller battery was charging and played on my console for a few hours. At no point did I unplug the controller and left it overnight. In fact, it was about 3 nights in total as I hadn't used my Series X due to work. When I came to use my Xbox I unplugged the cable and sat back, pressed the Xbox button to power on my console and nothing. I looked down and saw the Xbox button wasn't lit up. I pressed it again and it flashed briefly before powering back off so I connected the USB cable and pressed the button again and my console powered on immediately. Once it booted up to the main screen I unplugged the controller again and I got a message stating the battery power is low and about 15 seconds later the controller died. Basically the battery pack wouldn't charge. I have an older version of these battery packs in my OG Xbox One controller. Looking at the label of that and the new battery pack revealed that they are identical in power output and mAh's. I plugged this into my Series X controller and what do you know? Works fine and without issue. I returned the new battery pack as it clearly has issues and now I know that the battery pack from my Xbox One controller does the same job, I now use that instead. Overall I would say that my experience has been pretty poor from what is a genuine Microsoft product. I think I'll buy third party should I choose to buy another battery pack.

Works great

Incroyable ! vraiment bien, recharge très rapidement et offre un câble très long 20€ hésité pas ! Au-dessus non c'est trop cher même si c'est de qualité

Necessitavo di una batteria ricaricabile per il mio controller (originale) X-Box. Questo prodotto offriva sia la batteria sia il cavo di ricarica (attenzione che non c'è lo spinotto, ma si può ricaricare attaccandolo direttamente alla console). Il cavo di ricarica si può attaccare direttamente al controller portando la possibilità di ricaricare il controller anche mentre si sta giocando. Questo rende possibile giocare ininterrottamente per ore e ore, e sicuramente permette di non perdere il filo mentre si gioca perché costretti a fermarsi per ricaricare il controller. Il cavo poi è sufficientemente lungo da poter arrivare alla console. La ricarica è veloce, sicura, affidabile. La durata della batteria, una volta ricaricata, permette di godere del gioco per anche una giornata o due a seconda dei ritmi di gioco. Inoltre la batteria ha una durata molto estesa proprio come prodotto in sé: è longeva, duratura e resistente. Dopo anni di utilizzo funziona ancora egregiamente. Probabilmente perché è evidentemente costruita con materiali di buona qualità. Anche il cavo è resistente e fa egregiamente il suo lavoro. Sono soddisfatto dell'acquisto di questo kit composto da batteria e cavo di ricarica per controller Xbox. Lo consiglio anche perché per l'ambiente è più salutare non usare continuamente batterie usa e getta, ma piuttosto queste ricaricabili che sono molto ecologiche. Lo consiglio!

I bought this because in mid brawlhalla match, my batteries ran out and was brutally dominated by a spear spammer (Even tho I was already being dominated) which resulted in me breaking a hole in my wall where my neighbor was watching brainrot PH videos. Ignoring the fact I have to live with the mental image of that AND in debt because of the broken wall, I can now play knowing I won't have to go to the other side of my house for the TV control batteries! Even tho I'm still being dominated in Brawlhalla. Worth it!

La pila es muy buena, y es de buena duración, pero tiene algunos detalles como la falta de una clara situación de carga. Es difícil deducir cuando se ha cargado, y tiende a desconectarse a veces si no es colocada de forma óptima, llegas a pensar que no tiene pila, pero luego la mueves y sigue funcionando.

Update du 11/11/24 : je passe d’une étoile à 5 étoiles. Je ne sais pas pourquoi mais j’ai branché à une des entrées USB de derrière et non devant la console Xbox serie S et j’ai laissé non stop 4h de charge. Ça a fonctionné. Si c’est la seule raison, ça devrait être précisé, ça évitera de mauvais commentaires. J’avoue que je trouvais cela surprenant de la part de Microsoft. Maintenant reste à voir dans le temps si la batterie est de qualité (j’ai vu des commentaires à ce sujet). Ancien commentaire : Ça fait trois fois que je laisse la console allumé pour charger la batterie neuve. Ça ne fonctionne pas, toujours niveau faible affiché sur la console. Je vais finir par retourner le produit car une batterie neuve rechargeable qui ne se recharge pas… c’est une blague pas drôle ! Décidément je suis dans une mauvaise passe avec Amazon deuxième produit de mauvaise qualité. Mais il s’agit quand même de la marque Xbox de Microsoft, une grande marque qui vend de la mauvaise qualité en accessoire de console c’est assez surprenant ! Déçu…
