Xbox Rechargeable Battery + USB-C® Cable

I've used Microsoft's earlier iteration of this charger (the mini USB type connector that is on Xbox One controllers) since 2016 and now this iteration with my Series X since November of 2020. This thing has never failed, always charges (I charge it over night or when things are downloading and I'm not playing), and the included cable even works with PC. I assume that last point is probably a no-brainer, but this means you don't need a special cable for PC, you can simply use the included one and then switch using the controller on Xbox whenever you want.I don't get all the 1 star reviews. Maybe these are the type of people that leave their cables and controllers around for their pet rats or children to chew on, but I keep my stuff out of reach of the kids and have never had a problem.For the record, I have used an off brand rechargeable battery pack in the past 5 years on one of my controllers and it would frequently disconnect or not hold a charge. I will continue to buy Microsoft's proprietary offerings for accessories because I know they will work out of the box with their systems.

Long cable for charging even while playing and long lasting energy indeed, looks nice and fits perfectly.

Nothing is worse than having the ball with less than two minutes left and you're driving into opponents territory and as you're about to throw the game winning TD pass, your controller battery dies. Get this and you score that TD as you watch your opponent rage quit.

Incredibly important to have device if you hate battery waste. I felt like something was going to break when I initially put it in, but nothing did, and it works great! It'll be a long time before I have to replace this battery, I hope.

It charges fairly quickly and it also last a decent amount of time during playtime.

UPDATE: 6 months later the other battery wont hold a charge. I did not leave it plugged in so should not suffer from 'overcharging'. Awful experience. 1 DOA that cost as much as the battery (nearly) to return. The one that worked didn't work long. Better off buying $20 worth of Duracell batteries you'll get more legs out of them than you will these... Only good thing I got was a long USB-C cableBought two of these battery packs one works just fine and is a great product, holds a good charge comes with a nice usb-a to c cable that is long and feels high quality. The other was DOA. The battery never charged or put out any juice. It appeared like it was 'dried out' or something as it would rattle when I shook it. These were both new in box purchases. Aside from getting a DOA battery the return process was so painful.The company did not give you a return shipping label so you as a consumer pay that. I paid $24 for a broken battery, and it cost me $14 just to return the broken product so I could get my money back. So in the end I am out 14 dollars and my time with nothing to show for it.Idk but it just feels wrong that I have to pay to ship back a DOA product and it is experiences like this that will make me only by from amazon fulfilled products.

However they die after a few months &beont charge (went through 3).If it didn't have that issue it would be the only one I'd buy.A better choice would be the ( PowerA Play & charge kit for Xbox Series S/X )Also works with Xbox one controllersYou get two the battery lasts a bit longer & two ways to charge then either by cable or cradle.Only negative is they add a little bulk so controller clips for your phone are a no go not sure about other accessories like skins ECT.

Must have for any xbox controller
