bought this so i wouldn't have to buy batteries, and all i had to do was plug it in to a USB port to and charge it on my controller. unfortunately the bloody thing doesn't charge in the controller at all iv tried many ways to get it to charge and it doesn't. i would have returned it but unfortunately it has been 2 months and cant return it for a refund. it infuriate me i wish i used my controller more that month so i could have noticed it wasn't charging at all.

Worked for a few months then died . The controller only works plugged in the batteries stopped holding a charge basically

I purchased this back not terribly long ago and the rechargeable battery is faulty. The only way I can operate the remote is to remove the rechargeable battery and put in new disposable ones or plug the power cord into the remote with the rechargeable one removed.I am taking another chance with a second one of these to see if I got a lemon on round 1. Who knows maybe I'll get my money back on the 1st one since I haven't had it more than a few months.

Suddenly the battery stopped charging in less than 3 months. Kit does NOT have a one year warranty like the associate said. If you read the fine print among all the jargon in the guide, the battery has a 90 day warranty only. What a waste of $25 on a first party Microsoft branded battery.

So I bought the charger as a Christmas gift and I left my controller plugged up the entire day. I came home to use my controller and it worked fine while I still had it attached the Xbox. But once I removed it from the charger cord it died. I figured I did something wrong. So I tried it again. I left it plugged up even longer and I used my second controller with batteries in it while this one charged(supposedly) but still no luck. I planned on returning it but I was to busy and now I'm stuck.

again with these stupid charge and play packs, Ummm lets see we just left 2013 and we are STILL dealing with AA batteries for our controllers?! C'mon microsoft step your game up!!!

Stopped working after a couple weeks. I believe the battery wasn't good. It wouldn't hold a charge.

Does the job. Only charges from the Xbox USB port, have tried from several POWERED USB hubs and they keep it "alive" but don't ever fully charge it.

I'm surprised I can barely get one day of play where I've already had to charge it more than once on the same day.

I bought this 7 months ago and now only get a half charge which lasts only a few hours. Buying the energizer brand that I am sure I can trust

Ran this in a rotation with my original xbox controller, if it died i swapped to this rechargeable sourse, once it died i put batteries back in the original controller, etc, etc,. After a couple of charges on this battery it has already died. I can charge however long I wish and within minutes of unplugging I get the low battery indicator on the console. :(

The cable stopped working within a few weeks. It's too bad it's after the return policy period.

Plug and play is convenient...but the battery life sucks...brand new, out of the box I get like 3hrs of play.

Pretty poor quality batteries and the charger broke easily

1200 mha batterry i suggest burry a rechargable Energizer kit lasts double with 2 aa 1600 mha battery

Did not provide what I expected (my fault) had to get a different charger unit.

This is a total failure. After chairing the pad with provided cable, it last for about 40 minutes. I switched to standard batteries and did not have to replace them since then (already one month). It was supposed to be convenient but cannot do the single thing it was designed to - charge the batteries.

Held a charge great in the beginning over time thing won't stay charged have to keep it plugged in.

Works for charging the xbox one controller, as well as allows the controller to be used on the PC. I recommend checking out the link below if you are in the market for a wireless xbox one controller, and a usb connection with a battery pack, I.e. a play and charge kit but without the price, for it. It's cheaper this way: http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Xbox-One-Wired-Controller-+-Cable-for-Windows/productID.307070800

Given that I purchased the Xbox and controllers for my kids, I expected the controllers to fail before the batteries. That was not the case. Not only did the batteries fail and become unusable, the power surge from the cord made one of the controllers unusable. next time, I'm getting after market.
