Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the Play & Charge Kit's long battery life, ease of use, and compatibility with various Xbox controllers. Many appreciate the kit's affordable price and how well it fits the controllers, along with the convenient length of the included charging cable. A small number of users expressed a preference for a USB-C charging port instead of micro-USB. Overall, the positive feedback significantly outweighs the negative comments.

    My son loves this battery pack. Much easier for him to use, install and charge. Plus helps to not have to find batteries throughout the house. He loves the plug in features which help him charge And play

    I've always had rechargeable controllers, and when I got the xbox series s, I was kind of shocked it took batteries. This solved the "issue" nicely. Not a fan of the color, but it doesn't make a difference in performance.

    Works to my Xbox series X controllers very well and last a good amount of time before needing to be recharged the only complaint I have is that one of the back covers did not fit my controllers it was made rather large maybe I got a defective one or they just come this way so look out for that

    Very convenient to use. External USB port to charge outside the controller and adapters to fit the various official Xbox controllers. Good play time for the charge too.

    These will be my back up batteries. I like the batteries that fits inside the controller and I’m able to put the cap on. There’s aren’t that. These comes with two different battery covers. The cover works well for my Series controller but I’m having issues with the One. I’ll be gifting these to my siblings though.

    Would like the charge to last longer but honestly does a great job. I like being able to plug directly into the power cord without needing a base.

    Charging unit is terrific. Can charge controller on a dual charging station using the battery and can charge the battery outside of the controller. A definite must buy.

    The color is black, not gray so they actually blends in with the top for a controller. It’s great not to have to buy batteries.

    For its price, it is very convenient and does what it's supposed to do. It's very simple to install into your controller and is a very straight forward process.

    Fits the controller of a Xbox One Series S but the back cover will not fit over the battery. Be clear on this part.
