Long lasting battery at a bit of a cost

I played through a 20-25 hour game without charging it once, and there’s still more than half of the charge left. Good enough for me. Completely takes the hassle of swapping out traditional batteries. Although this convenience comes at a slight price, compared to several non-name brand offerings from Amazon. But those might not support charging through the port on the controller, so be aware of that. I would spend a little more on a trusted brand.

The best rechargeable battery pack you can buy for an Xbox controller. Also includes a cord so you can charge while playing.

There's not a whole lot to say about this product other than it works as advertised.
It's the same rechargeable battery pack that was used throughout the Xbox One lifespan, except now it comes with a USB Type-C cable to fit the latest controllers. Other than that, the only real differences are the new cable no longer includes a charging light and the cable itself feels significantly thicker and sturdier.
I've never clocked the battery life but I've had many a marathon gaming session and never come anywhere close to draining the battery when it's fully charged. I know I've gone days without recharging before, but most of the time I just plug in my controller when I stop gaming so I never even have to worry about my controller dying while I'm trying to capture B on Nuketown.
Like I said at the beginning: It works exactly as advertised. If you want a rechargeable battery pack and your controller has a USB Type-C port then this will absolutely do the job for you.

After more than a decade of faithful service, my original Xbox rechargeable battery finally reached the end of its life. I decided to replace it with the latest Microsoft Rechargeable Battery + USB-C Cable, and I’m glad I did.
The new version charges fully in under 4 hours and works seamlessly with my Xbox Series X controller. The included 9-foot USB-C cable is long enough to keep playing while charging, and the connection feels solid. Battery life is excellent — I can game for hours without worrying about swapping batteries or losing power mid-session.
It’s a simple, reliable upgrade that eliminates the hassle of disposable AAs and keeps my setup clean. If your old battery pack has finally given up (mine lasted over 10 years!), this is the perfect replacement to keep you gaming without interruptions.

I bought this because the Xbox controller eats AA batteries. It’s a little pricey for what it is but this pack works great, and I have the Xbox series S. My only problem with it is that it turns the system on when I plug my controller in (so I just plug it right before powering off.)

I recently purchased the Microsoft Rechargeable Battery + USB-C Cable for Xbox Series X from Best Buy. The ordering process was simple, and the delivery was quick.
This kit is a game-changer for Xbox gaming. The battery pack fits perfectly in the controller, offering hours of play before needing a recharge. The USB-C cable makes charging convenient through the Xbox or any USB-C charger.
What stands out is the long-term cost savings and reduced waste compared to disposable batteries. The build quality is solid, and the battery holds its charge well, contributing to a greener gaming experience.
This rechargeable kit from Best Buy is an intelligent choice for Xbox Series X owners looking to enhance their gaming setup. It's convenient, eco-friendly, and ultimately saves money.
If you're tired of constantly replacing AA batteries, I highly recommend this Microsoft charging kit from Best Buy. It's a practical upgrade that improves the gaming experience.

So much more convenient than having to buy AA batteries all the time. You do have to remember to charge it but it lasts longer than regular batteries in my experience. Overall a great addition to the Xbox controller.

Essential money-saving acc; possible design quirk

This is a must-have, especially for long gaming sessions.
It holds a good charge and lasts a long time - noticeably longer than AA batteries. It has saved me the comparable cost in batteries many many times over, and I'm not tossing hundreds of batteries into a landfill.
The cord is nice and long, so when the battery gets low, just plug it in and keep playing while it charges. I wish it had a charging indicator light on the plug, like the Xbox One version did. The only way to know if it's fully charged is to check the status in the Xbox dashboard.
This one is still going over a year later, and I'm fairly confident I will get many more years out of it because the version I bought for the Xbox One years ago still charges great and holds its charge.
That being said, there is one minor (or maybe major depending on your perspective) thing that I've experienced with both this battery and the Xbox One rechargeable battery. I'm not sure if it's an oddity of the battery design or of Xbox controllers, but the fix that worked (and is still working years later) for the Xbox One battery also worked for this one...
The battery suddenly stopped charging; placing a tiny piece of foam strip or thin cardboard (just a few mm) behind the battery got it charging perfectly again. Putting in the battery gently and charging without the cover on also worked. Allowing the ports to better align with the pins, helps. It is unclear as to why this would even be necessary, if it was designed properly, but it's worth a try before throwing it against a wall in frustration.

New gen battery, fully compatible with old acc's

This is designed for the new controllers that come with the Series X/S. It works in my older controllers as well, just keep in mind the USB C cable will only charge the newer controllers. One thing to note: there is no charge indicator light on this cable, like there was on the last gen battery kit. I don't personally care, just wanted to include that just in case you're expecting it.
The new controllers also work on the older Xbox, everything seems to be very compatible. That's good for me because I have a lot of last gen controllers and battery packs, and this new battery fits right in without any drama. Doesn't matter if it gets mixed up with the others.

I recently picked up the Microsoft Rechargeable Battery + USB‑C Cable for my Xbox Series X, and I’m overall very happy with it. It replaces the hassle of constantly buying AA batteries—just slide it in, charge via USB‑C, and get back to gaming in under 4 hours. Microsoft claims up to 30 hours of gameplay, and in my experience (and plenty of user feedback), real-world battery life is impressive—lasting multiple sessions before needing a top-up.
The USB‑C charging cable is a nice touch—no more fumbling with old micro‑USB cords—and it even charges through a PC USB‑A or USB‑C port while you play. Plug it in, keep gaming—it’s seamless.
A few caveats: It’s a bit pricier than third-party kits, so if cost is your top priority, there are more budget-friendly options. Also, you’ll need to use the included cable every time—there’s no wireless charging dock included.
Bottom line: A well-made, convenient, and eco-conscious solution that enhances your Xbox gaming experience—ideal for those sick of AA batteries and looking for reliable, long-lasting power. Worth the modest premium.

This is a must if you like Gaming a lot! Easy to install! Battery last pretty good while haven’t timed yet. The best tip for when you are done playing is leave you control charging while you are not gaming and it will be ready for action next time you come and play!
