Love it. The price for this battery is higher than 2 DD batteries. You paid 1 time, & you plug in, walk away let charge. The battery stays charge for a long time to.

At first I thought it was a problem but the battery is a snug fit and also goes in only one way and it took me a second to realize this but once in it's not easily leaving. Lasts for hours and charges fairly quick. The ten foot cord is the best part. Able to charge and play while seated comfortably.

The summary says it all, if you're looking for a low priced alternative to the first party Microsoft Play and Charge Kit. Look no further, the cable is long and works well, and the battery is spot on. Very easy to use and a worthwhile substitute to the first party perpherial.

Super long battery life, super long cable, and love the light that tells you when the controller is charged. i use this cord on my ps4 controllers as well, no issues there. Only issue I would say with this is that the battery door on the xbox one controller doesnt fully close. It is barely noticeable, but it is there.

This insignia battery pack for Xbox one works nicely and easy to use. Allows for both charging and playing at same time or charging by itself with an indicator showing when fully charged.
Only difficulty was the insstructions were lacking and was difficult to figure out which end the battery pack went in. The pack fits very tightly.

I was looking for a rechargeable battery for my Xbox One controller because it gets expensive replacing batteries. This would also allow me to connect and play wired if needed while the battery charged. I usually like to stick with Microsoft-branded products as I expect them to be high quality. However, you pay a price just for having their name on a product. So I began researching other brands that would work with my Xbox One, yet seemed to be good quality. After seeing several good reviews for this product (and the fact it was about $10 cheaper than Microsoft), I decided to try it out. So far I have not been disappointed. It holds a charge for a long time and is easy to use. I've had it now for a couple of months and have yet to have issue.

Quality of the product is great and the price unbeatable, it works smoothly with my 2 controllers. The cable is pretty large so I can play while charging without worrying about pulling my Xbox.
I really like the Insignia Charge & Play Kit.

This kit does exactly what it says that it is going to do! It is affordable and the charge lasts a long time. I am going to purchase another for the other controller. Great value! And the cord is a decent length!

The size of the cable is longer than most which I like.
The battery lasts just as long as the competitors. Couldn’t find a better product under $20. I will be buying another set from my other controller.

Lenghty cord affords play covenience.

This works and I don't have to worry about batteries for the moment. My only gripe is that my battery does not sit flush in the controller. I am not sure about other copies. When looking down at the controller the top left of the battery cover does not snap into place 100%; it pretrudes about half a millimeter and using normal batteries does not show this imperfection. This is why I have to minus one star. Other than that, product works as described. Price is decent. Another battery without cable was available for cheaper and was only designated for use with Xbox One. This one was designated for use with Xbox One S. When I asked an employee in store if the cheaper product would work with the 'S' console, he was not sure. So I didn't want to take that risk.

I found this product accidentally and decided that for the price, it was worth trying out. I recently got an Xbox One S and was amazed at how quickly I went through batteries. This kit did the trick. It's easy to plug in and charge and lets you know when it's fully charged by changing colors. My only real issue with it is that it turns the Xbox on when I plug it in, which is annoying because I have a tendency to plug it in after I shut it down. That's something I can retrain my brain to accommodate for, though. Highly recommend!

I bought two of these so one can charge while the other is in use and I haven’t had to swap them out yet. The first one I used has held a charge for about a month and is still around the 50% charged mark. I typically only play a few hours a couple times a week, but I’m still impressed with it. It makes dealing with the fact that Microsoft made buying a separate rechargeable battery on what was supposed to be a next gen system a necessity rather than building them into the controllers like every other video game company seem easier to cope with. Good product all in all

Perfect charges quickly and battery holds a long time like many many many hours.
One con is the way to charge is using the wire that comes with it. No other Micro USB wire will work so make sure you don't break the wire.
There is a light on the wire that'll change colors when you know the controller is fully charged.
Another small con is the only way to charge the battery is with the Xbox One. No power brick will work.
HUGE PLUS You can still play the games while the battery is charging and the wire is really long.

The price of the product is way better then OEM's. The battery last very long and the cord that comes with it is long enough to have plugged in and sit far away to play.

My son was going through batteries in his XBOX One S wireless controller at an unreasonable rate! I looked into better options. I went into BB to buy a wired controller, but I ran across this instead. It's the cord and a rechargeable battery pack that completely eliminates the need for batteries. You can play while connected being that the cord is very, very long or you can charge the controller and disconnect for wireless play. This was a very economical option compared to all others. I completely recommend it. Very smart purchase!
