Amazon Basics Controller Battery Pack Charger For Xbox One - Black

So, I don't know about other purchasers, but before I purchased this I had 3 Microsoft's batteries with charger cables for the XB1. Gave them to my kids, so now I have both these batteries for me. Pros, 2 batteries with a charger box for $20; that beats MS's $25 for one battery and one cable. For me, this is great. As I play one charges, swap when the controller tells me its current is drained. But the battery does not drain as fast as you would think. I can game almost all day with my oldest son, somewhere about 5 to 8 hours. The battery would still hold a good charge over night and game another 5 to 8 hours the next day. This is a Con to some, but to me it ain't. I found that these batteries are a little bit bigger then the MS XB versions. but like my cat, if it fits it sits.The case snaps on easily if you snap in the legs from an up ward angle, then the straight-over-the-battery approach. Overall, I am loving it.

Great product! The batteries last about two days of fairly consistent game play. Batteries charge in about an hour. The only “negative” about the product is the plug in. I have an Xbox one X, so the most accessible usb is in the front of the unit. The bottom of the charger sits a bit lower than the bottom of the console, so I had to have the charger hanging off the front. The other issue is if you plug in the charger all the way, it may interfere with the Xbox loading. I pulled the charger slightly out and it loads and charges with no issues. Definitely read the instructions as it is very specific about position for charging and placement in the controller. Yes, the battery is a tight fit but no issues getting the back cover on. Overall a great product for the money!

I’ve been using this product for a while now and felt it was time it deserved my praise in the form of a reviewI’ll say it, if you play Xbox, this is the PERFECT accessory.It fits perfectly into the side USB port on the Xbox (while providing an additional USB port on itself) for easy accessibility to your charged battery packs.It comes with 2 rechargeable battery packs whose power will last about two days per charge (this is with having my controller on for most of the day) and makes it ideal for using one, while the other charges.I have told all my Xbox friends to get this product, a complete steal for the price given the quality and usefulness this provides.

I noticed this charger quite a while ago, long after upgrading from an OG/"VCR style" Xbox One to a sleek "Storm Gray Battlefield 1" console, and I was a little sad to see that I had missed the opportunity to try this marvel of design ingenuity. (The updated Xbox One S compatible model, a white version at the time, wasn't going to work with my then-current aesthetic.)Flash forward to last month and I saw that this "little" guy (it's actually quite massive, in terms of size) hit a very reasonable sale price that I couldn't turndown just as I was thinking I needed another new rechargeable battery pak. For nearly the same price, I could buy a new pak, or I could grab this charger that came with two paks, so why not, right?I did not regret it.I was already quite surprised with this current-generation's battery packs--I previously had purchased the Insignia brand, as well as the official Microsoft--they last much longer than the ones made available for the Xbox 360; they hold a charge for weeks, and last through dozens of hours of gaming. And these AmazonBasic branded packs are no different--quite literally, same form factor (with the exception of a small, added bit of plastic on the butt-end intended to keep the battery from jiggling around, and seems to work great, btw), and the same battery capacity.Even though it's not feasible, or manageable, to keep this charger plugged into my console (neither just "S" nor my "X") due to the more standardized locations of USB ports on these new systems, I still love the design for what it is. Instead, I keep the charger nearby in my end table drawer and I keep my ready-to-go battery packs waiting inside of the charger. When my current pack is drained, I reach for a full one, swap in the drained pack, plug it into an available USB port nearby (currently, I have a surge protector by the couch that has USB charging ports) and I'm ready to keep gaming. Simple--if you can get around the large footprint of the charger itself, that is.

I have no doubt these will end up saving me a lot of money. Before, I was replacing the batteries in my Xbox One controller every two days. These have proven to be a convenient solution. The design of the charging port is space-saving. Set-up is easy, just plug it into the side USB port and swap them out as you need them. I've seen a lot of people saying the packs didn't fit in their controller; I've found it is a tight squeeze to keep the back on but mine have fit okay. With regular use, I change the battery packs after about a week, which is much better than before. These are definitely worth it.

I still use this charger for my controller batteries. 5/5 from me

When my son got his Xbox One, I bought a controller charger so he wouldn't burn through batteries. I got the one where you set the controller on it and it charges as one complete unit. The problem with this was that my son wasn't the best at remembering to put the controller on the charger, so he'd end up with a dead charger mid-game and would use regular batteries. This charger fixed all that because now he can charge without having to stop using the controller, thanks to the double battery slots. It seems to charge quickly, and I like that it doesn't take up as much room as his other one.

To be honest I’m not really sure how exactly it’s supposed to be in the Xbox to were It’s not blocking the disk Drive and visible to see when it’s fully charged I have a series s and maybe that is the problem But I feel like they could have pulled this one off a lot better just sit design flaw for the series s I guess. Some of my batteries it will charge and other ones or a struggle to get in and out so I don’t even try
