Pick Up a Pair of Rechargeable Batteries for Your Xbox Controller for Under $12
Half the price of the Play & Charge Kit for double the batteries.
Here's an inexpensive alternative to swapping out AA batteries from your Xbox controller all the time. Amazon is offering a two-pack of aftermarket rechargeable batteries for your Xbox controller for a mere $11.69 after you clip both coupons (20% off and 50% off) on the product page. That's just $5.85 per battery pack. As a comparison, the official Play & Charge Kit will run you $25, and that is for a single battery pack.
Two Xbox Controller Battery Packs for $11.69
These rechargeable battery packs from "6amLifestyle" are compatible with both the current generation Xbox Series X|S controllers and the older Xbox One controllers. A nice feature of these battery packs is that they work with the stock USB port on the Xbox controller. Most other rechargeable packs have their own little port elsewhere that you need to use. A quality 10ft USB Type-C cable is included as well as a USB Type-C to Micro USB adapter for the legacy Xbox One controller. The cable is pretty cool because it has a little light that glows red when charging and blue when fully topped off.
6amLifestyle states that each battery pack can last up to 35 hours of continuous playtime and can charge from empty to full in about three hours. That's pretty similar to the Play & Charge Kit's claim of 30 hours of playtime and four-hour charge time, which makes sense since both packs have the same 1,400mAh capacity. Having two batteries also means you can immediately swap over to another pack when the first one is depleted, thus minimizing your downtime. At this price, you can't go wrong.
