    You can test your luck. Just saying. Ive tried plugging it in to different outlets and any trouble shooting i thought of but one of the batteries refused to hold a charge AT ALL…right out of the box.

    Wrost Battery ever. It failed within 60 days and was able to exchange it through geek squad replacement warranty and the replacement had failed within 30 days. Ended up switching back to disposable AA Batterys

    For some reason the battery stopped charging like it used to. Can’t play with the control unless it’s hooked to the charging cord

    Unfortunately a dud. One of two wouldn’t hold a charge at all. Split review since I’ve purchased 2. Zero issues the previous two gens.

    My unit was defective, never holding a charge for more than 20 or 30 minutes. I never bothered to send it back for a replacement under warranty (my fault as I procrastinated) but I’m at least going to give this bad review!

    Why The Change?

    I'm not sure why Microsoft felt the need to change the charging cable. Same battery, different charge cable for the new controller. Why? Also, there is no way to tell when the battery is fully charged. The old charger cable had a little light that turned from yellow to white when the charging was completed. This new one does not.

    The fact that i need this at all is a 1 star. No reason an xbox controller with a rechargeable battery should cost 100$ together.

    I mean it works, but I'm still running out of batteries after 1 day of playing. Maybe I need to turn off my rumble.

    Unfortunate that it doesn't work with older Xbox One Controllers, but saves you from wasting money on batteries.

      Hi Alexander,

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this rechargeable battery pack. If you need one for your Xbox One controller, we recommend getting a Xbox One Play & Charge Kit instead. For more information, go here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/microsoft-play-charge-kit-for-xbox-one-black/9008298.p?skuId=9008298

      It's also possible to use the rechargeable battery in this product with your Xbox One controller, however you will need to purchase a micro-USB cable separately.

      Hope that helps,
      Chuck

    I will never buy these again. Bought in march to go with my new controller. Been having disconnect issues for months thinking it was bluetooth issue but it's the battery. Now my controller won't even turn on even though the battery was charged overnight, however I put in the Power A battery and it connects right away. This is the second one of the microsoft batteries I have had issues with bought more then a year apart I had thought maybe just a bad battery. Not wasting another dime on one of these, issues from the start.
