Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

A great Xbox controller battery to put in your controller last up for long time

This is a must have for an Xbox controller. Instead of buying new batteries every few months (more or less depending on usage) this one-time purchase of this rechargeable battery pack will save you time and money.

My son has declared that this is so much better than replacing batteries!

The Xbox Battery Play and Charge Kit for Xbox Series is awesome! It means a rechargable battery and USB C cable! I really enjoy not using disposable batteries and instead a long lasting battery pack. I have been using the official Microsoft Xbox Battery pack since Xbox 360. I will never go back! Definitely recommend! :D

Save yourself trips to the store for batteries with a rechargeable battery. Always ready to go.

Very good battery life and feels like a built in battery for the controller as you plug in the battery through the usb port that comes on your xbox controller

This rechargeable battery works great in the official controllers to be able to charge through the existing USB-C port already on the controller. Very happy with this upgrade to rechargeable controllers!

this kit works, the battery life is decent and it charges, it pretty much works the same as the rest

Works perfect! Like it way better than my old bulky, battery packs. Old ones came in a pack of two. But love it doesn’t need a different cover than the one that came with the controller. I would give it 5 but I shouldn’t have to buy a separate battery pack when Microsoft should include this already in the controllers like PlayStation. Another plus is the super long USC cord included in the cost. Using on my Xbox Series X. If I have the pack in my controller, it keeps my controller on and recharges the battery through USB-C

More reliable than using batteries. Get about 30 hours of use per charge out of this

Works as it should and is durable. Cant ask for anything more.

The battery lasts a LONG time! And it saves you so much money on disposable batteries, I need to get another one for my second controller. I have not charged it once since November and been using it constantly!

Not much to say … I just wanted a rechargeable battery to an old controller. It works as intended so no complaints.

Works great keeps charge long and a great way to save from buying AA batteries.

The battery pack allows me to save money on batteries and is easily charged.

Easy to use and set up. Great to save money on disposable batteries.

So good. My boys were blowing through batteries, So happy with this purchase

The best solution to getting the rechargeable controller and ditching the AA batteries.

Very useful, been meaning to upgrade my xbox controller with a rechargeable battery, it lasts really long and was so simple to use. Would definitely recommend if you're tired of using regular batteries.
