2-Pack Rechargeable Xbox Controller Battery Packs
List Price: $39.99 (Save 71%) | Now: $11.69 at Amazon
These rechargeable battery packs from "6amLifestyle" work with both the latest Xbox Series X|S controllers and older Xbox One models. A standout feature is that they charge via the controller's built-in USB port, unlike many other rechargeable packs that require a separate charging port. The set comes with a durable 10-foot USB Type-C cable and a USB Type-C to Micro USB adapter for the original Xbox One controller. The cable includes a convenient indicator light that glows red during charging and turns blue when fully charged.
According to 6amLifestyle, each battery pack delivers up to 35 hours of continuous gameplay and takes roughly three hours to recharge from empty. This performance is comparable to the Play & Charge Kit’s claimed 30-hour battery life and four-hour charging time, which is unsurprising since both have the same 1,400mAh capacity. Having two batteries means you can easily swap them out to keep playing without interruption. At this price, it's an excellent value.
