Did not even work, I had it on the charger for several hours and it did nothing. Also the battery was hard to come out of the controller. When I finally got it out the battery broke. Waste of money!

I bought 2 kits,for both kids controllers,neither cable fit....I would give a 5 star,but considering this ad is misleading,be lucky to get 1..It says for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S,so why doesnt it fit my "S" series controller? USB-C doesnt mean anything to me when the controller doesnt say what fits it..Should be noted as the controller plugs may have changed.Not an exciting present when they dont work.
We're sorry that this rechargeable battery didn't live up to expectations. It is designed to work with Xbox Series X/S controllers, however it sounds like you may have a controller that came with Xbox One S. If that's the case, the Xbox One controller uses a micro-USB cable instead of USB-C. We recommend using the Play & Charge Kit for Xbox One instead.

Hope that helps, Chuck Xbox Customer Care

I bought two at the same time. One is great, works well. The other won't hold a charge but it took me a couple weeks to figure out which battery was bad. Outside return window.

Grabbed the 2025 black version for $24.99.
Pros
• 100% reliable: Charges to full in ~3 hours via USB-C, delivers honest 30–35 hours per charge (CoD, Apex, Forza).
• Fits perfectly in Elite 2, Instinct Pro, and stock Series controllers. No wobble.
• Play-and-charge works flawlessly; keep playing while it’s plugged in, no cutoff.
• LED on the battery itself turns green when full. Simple.
Cons
• Literally none at this price. Third-party ones die in a year; this one still shows 100% capacity after 9 months of daily use.
Bottom line: The only battery you should ever buy for Xbox controllers in 2025. Cheap, official, and just works. Toss your AAs in the trash.

Buying any other rechargeable battery for Xbox controllers is silly when this official pack not only lasts long, but includes a 9 foot USB-A to USB-C cable which alone is basically worth the price. Battery low? Plug in and keep playing. Phone or headset low? Plug it in to the same convenient long cable (for most modern phones and devices).
If you plug the cable directly into the Xbox, the controller switches to a wired connection. Otherwise plug it into any USB port and keep on playing. And if you didn't know, Xbox controllers will function without any batteries if you plug them into power via the USB port, including wireless working if plugged into a wall or portable charger.

Works great in XBox controller. No longer have to stop a game to replace my rechargeable batteries. Can now simply plug in the controller and charge while I play.

The Microsoft Rechargeable Battery + USB-C Cable for Xbox Series X and Series S offers a convenient and eco-friendly alternative to disposable batteries. The inclusion of a USB-C cable simplifies recharging, ensuring uninterrupted gaming sessions. The battery's performance is reliable, providing a commendable lifespan on a single charge. However, the initial investment might be a consideration for budget-conscious gamers. Overall, it's a worthwhile accessory for Xbox enthusiasts seeking a sustainable and hassle-free power solution.

This charger works perfectly if you want to reduce the waste of your double-A batteries. Just put the rechargeable battery in the controller and plug it in like normal.
