Pick Up a Pair of Rechargeable Batteries for Your Xbox Controller for Under $13
If you’re tired of swapping out AA batteries from your Xbox wireless controller, here’s a super inexpensive alternative. Amazon is offering Amazon Prime members a two-pack of aftermarket rechargeable batteries for your Xbox controller for a mere $12.79 after you apply a $7.20 off coupon code “30ZYF6UF“. That’s only $6.40 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 $12.79
These rechargeable battery packs from “6amLifestyle” are compatible with both the current generation Xbox Series X|S controllers and the older Xbox One controllers. The rechargeable battery itself is a universal fit, however the Xbox One and Xbox Series X have different style battery doors. Fortunately, both door covers are included in the package (the one labeled #1 is for Xbox One, and the one labeled #2 is for Xbox Series X|S). Note that unlike the Play & Charge Kit which has a USB-C port, this pack uses a Micro USB port. We would have liked to see this pack equipped with a USB-C port as well, but at this price we’re not complaining. Besides, a Micro USB cable is included.
6amLifestyle states that each battery pack can last up to 40 hours of continuous playtime and can charge from empty to full in about four 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. There’s also a little LED indicator that changes from red to green when it’s fully recharged. 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.
