Xbox 360 Controllers

BabyGurl88

Hi,

Both of mine and my partners controllers have run out of batteries and I aint got the money to buy batteries each time.
I've heard there is a battery like on a mobile and you can charge it and it works like a battery.

Does anyone know what I'm on about and Is there any website for them so i could search them?

I'm not that good at technology if there is anyone out there contact back.

You can get one for about £4 here. They are called play and charge kits. The official Xbox one will cost a bit more, but I find non-official ones fine.

Quick charge kit will charge 2 batteries in 4 hours, comes with one so you would need an additional battery pack.

Other option is a play and charge kit, with which you can use the controller whilst it is plugged in to the Xbox to charge.

i simply use rechargeable Batteries . I find these give longest life .

there will come a time when the battery that comes with the play and charge kit will die. what happened with mine is it would constantly require charging. so it was forever connected to the console. you can buy the batteries seperately so you would not have to keep buying the play and charge kits.
if being wireless isnt important to you then you can get wired 360 controllers. however as i have never owned one of these i dont know if they still require batteries or not.

No, wired controllers don't require batteries but otherwise operate exactly the same as the wireless one (as long as you don't mind being tethered to the console). The wire is really quite long so it's not been a major problem for me.

that is a relief as i have been worried about being able to use the console in the future after they bring out the next console and stop selling batteries that are compatible with the wireless 360 controller.

I recently bought an Xbox for my first time and I bought this

You can get a black one but it's £7 more expensive. I have the elite console and when the controllers are in the holder you can't tell if it is white or not.

Of course, you may have the Xbox arcade in which case it would be ok with the colour

I have the quick charge kit and a couple of the official rechargable battery packs - they work well.
