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.

    These work well, charge quickly. Definitely NOT 40hrs. of playtime average about 20hrs. So I guess if you get 2, that will equal 40 hrs.

    Great Value

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Great Value, Mine has USB C charge ports. Which frees up the 10 ft cable to be used elsewhere. Added Value. It did come with 4 backplates which was weird but from reading other reviews there is fitment issues with the newer XBOX controllers. So maybe 2 plates are for newer and 2 are for older controllers like mine. Anyways, For the price it is great with 2 batteries and USB C direct charge through the cover. Got a new bedside USB C charge cable too!

    Garbage item, for the Series S/X controllers. The battery is too big to use with the original covers and the covers included are for different XBox controllers - seeing as they don't fit. Love the price, but not worth it, if you have the new controllers
