PowerA Play & Charge Kit for Xbox Series X|S

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.

Definitely worth the money. Me and my husband needed these because we basically burnt our other ones out playing non-stop during covid. I will say though, I’m pretty sure we had the Xbox play and charge kit [or Microsoft brand idk] but these are better. They seem more durable and all the pieces slide in perfectly and fit snug. I charge my battery now like every 3 days and we are daily players. Grab 1 of these if you need one. UPDATEEE! So I wanted to update this review because although I still agree that these batteries are great. The biggest pro is how long a full battery lasts. Me and my husband went a couple days with no charging . However! Now that we have used them for a few months it seems like it is not so much a PLAY and charge, it’s now just a CHARGE. my point is now when the batteries are low you have to let it fully charge while not playing and I don’t know why it stopped working all of a sudden but it happens...

Best batteries out there.

Worked well, but wore out quicker than expected

Holds charge well and lasts a super long time! Priced just right too! Can also utilt the cable that charges the battery to prolong game time also. What else is there to say?

Battery lasts a long time. Great for the price.

Convenient

These work great... for about the first 30 charge cycles or so.... Then they stop charging up to 100%... (about 75% if your lucky) then after another handful of charge cycles they just die on you and refuse to hold a charge anymore. I've bought two sets of these over the last 2 years. They will definitely work in a pinch if you dont play very often, but if you play a lot, like me, and dont want to replace them again and again, just save your money and buy something a little better. These are ok for someone who doesn't game for hours on end or if you need something cheaper than batteries to hold you over. They just wore out too quick for me. (Twice)

Got the first set a few years ago. Lasted until now. Well worth it. Save a lot on not getting batteries.

Does what it needs to do. Easily installable. Good value for money.

Sehr gute Akkulaufzeit!

These are great third party battery packs and they fit perfectly in the Xbox series x and series s controllers that i have. The charge lasts for quite a while and you get 2 in a pack so you can have one charging while you use the other. Overall an amazing product that I would definitely recommend.
