Comparison : Xbox One Battery Options 

This is the exact video comparison I've been looking for, please explain why it doesn't have more views

Super informative, very helpful video! It sounds like the rechargeable AA batteries solution will be best for me - thanks!

The way you threw the first batteries on the floor 😂😂 thanks for the video!

1 Search, this came out, served all the purposes. Congrats to you! Thanks x)

I love the Power A batteries. They allow you to plug a USB directly into the battery and charge while you play. They also have the wireless charging pad on the back for the charging stands.

Thank you, this was a very helpful video! I like how you compared all of these products.

Good spotting! I have an old rechargeable energizer battery AA similar to your one and they do last a bit at least a few days when I am gaming it hard core.

Oh this is amazing! Exactly the type of video that I was looking to see.

Amazing video, thanks for all the info!

I need to invest in some rechargeable batteries... Awesome video

Perfect video! I've always been wondering if the magnetic battery can be charged through a usb cable!

Best Video that explains the charging system on the Xbox controller! It’s my first XSX and I didn’t know what to buy or how to charge for the controller! Thanks for the info!

druacell batteries that came with my xbox one controller lasted me 40 hours before dying

Great video! Only thing I’d add (because I question this) is with the charging stand. It’s a controller stand / charging stand. My question is, rechargeable batteries aren’t supposed to be recharged until they are drained... and most (that I know of) shouldn’t be over charged... so does the charging stand recognize the batteries charge level and won’t send charge if the level is too high, and does the stand stop sending charge after the battery is full? I’d hate to spend $50 on a stand / charging stand that reduces the overall life of the rechargeable battery. I guess if you have a charging stand and a regular stand you’d be ok, but what about over charge? I’m looking to buy a LE charging stand for my LE console, so my charging stand would double as a regular controller stand, but if I only play for an hour on a fully charged (or even half charged) battery then set my controller on the stand am I now hurting that rechargeable battery? I’ll probably just buy the play & charge kit, and get a regular stand because I’m assuming those charging stands won’t have the smart tech to know not to charge.

This video was really helpful to choose what to buy I will give the official xbox plug and play a try Hope it works well

Very good your video. Are BEBONCOOL batteries still as new after this period? I ask why I want to buy them.

I bought a newer Xbox series S|X controller. But this video fits for that as well. The best video on this subject! Not very flashy video but very helpful. Thanks for this. :)

Awesome video bro thanks I actually got my new xbox series x and thought the batteries that come with it are rechargeable.

The usb hole for my elite is getting loose for wired gaming this was very helpful

I just got the Ponker 2500 mAh ones one Amazon for $15. They are the exact same aesthetics as the last one you showed on here.

Amazing review!

I know I'm late but thankssss dude you really helped me 😁

Is it possible to buy this battery that comes with a connector on its back separately? I just see it being sold with the charger.

Awesome video thank you

I purchased two 10’ usb cables from Newegg for $5. It works great and I saved money by not buying batteries and all those expensive chargers.

Quick question: I bought the Xbox One Controller Gear charging stand recently, do I put in the Duracell batteries that I already used in my controller once it's fully charged or do I play with those same batteries in that were in while they were charging in the stand?

Cable charging batteries. The charge port on the controller wears and can't charge correctly. I need the AA now. Looks like a trip to best buy cause I haven't seen it in Walmart.

I've been using energizer rechargeable batteries now. With light uses they can last for days

Hey! So i bought a used Elite Series 1 controller from someone, and it did not come with the micro usb charger. I have tried 5 diffrent micro usb charges and the controller works on my accutal pc (i play controller on pc btw) but, not in game. For example on Fortnite and Rocket League nothing happens when i press the buttens in game, but when im in the Xbox Accesiries app it works fine. Do you have any USB links that you know 100% work for the controller (on pc) or do i have to play with the one that comes in the box when i buy it?

Hey mates so for the last battery pack; can anyone tell me how it feels having it plugged in? Like is it bothering or uncomfortable in any way when your holding your controller

Great video! The Beboncool is the option I'm most interested in. I don't have a console or a device with a USB port that I'd want to leave on for the time it takes to charge a battery. What I do have, however, is a powered USB port that plugs into a standard mains power socket (3 pin UK for me.), it is designed to charge controllers and anything else that needs a USB to charge, could I plug the Beboncool charger into it and use it that way?

So what differences between Duracell battery and rechargable battery?

So my question is, the controller that uses AA batteries, does that also take the Ni-mh battery packs as well? Are they all compatible or are they different controllers?

I have tried the Wal-Mart brand battery pack and rechargeable batteries to what is ur favorite pack do u use

I'm currently looking for new rechargeable batteries right now. Hearing good stuff about the Panasonic Eneloop Pro.

I like the video man but u forgot to include the battery pack by power A

Xbox series x controller still doesnt charge the AA batteries which you ve shown at the beginning fromthe usbc port right?

Hey i dont know if your going to see this but my xbox 1 s is used i bought it off someone and it came without a battery and a got 1 on ebay it was the one that had the led light on the cable but the cable says the batterty is full its on green and when i take of the cable and try to turn on the xbox it does nothing any advise?

How do I get an extra battery and door for the Scorpio charging stand?

Do i need to remove the battery from play and charge kit on my xbox one controller to avoid battery corrosion?

The double aa batteries for my Xbox one or Xbox 360 last me about 2 weeks

For the Xbox series x do I need a XSX charge and play kit or can I use Xbox one charge and play? For the elite controller series 2

Thanks for the video. I am a pc player looking for a controller. Can I just say what a mess this is? Guess I'll just go for the Steelseries option, even though I like the colour schemes on some of these controllers very much.

The only negative thing is, you didn't talk about how long it takes to charge those batteries, especially those wireless chargers.

Battery number 2 can you charge the battery without the back covering the control

Can Xbox one charge with phone charger? How many hours on aa?

I’m on pc gaming and hate buy battery So I bought a Xbox ome battery pack so how would I charge the control? Will charge if I plug it to my laptop or wall charger

How long do the batteries last until they have died and don't work anymore?

I may have missed it but did you say those energizers plug into the wall or USB? I hate the USB ones, im looking for one that plugs to the wall.

Can u charge rechargeable batteries inside the controller with the lead

Watching because I went through four batteries in 4 days I stay up from 8pm and play till 7am in the morning

Do you know the MAH of the Xbox elite series 2 Controller? I own 2 of them and I'm just wanting to know.

they used corded controllers so the batteries dont die not because of latency issues that definitely depends on your monitor 👍🏼

i bought Duracell Rechargable 2500 Mah Ultra... but it is only 1.2V. but Xbox 360 wireless controller require 1.5V each. bcoz of this, wireless gets switched off. what to do?

Im less than 2 mins in i just put in duracell to my xbox controller played a 6hr sesh and batteries are still full. My xbox charger is not charging nor are my venom ones i think due to them being old now 🙈

Does anyone know if the taiker rehchargable ones work with my series s controller

this was very useful

Im confused you say its 1400mah for the xbox play and charge kit. That doesnt matter i can get like a full day of usage with that. Where did you get the 8-10hrs figure. Talk sense.

Me and my ghetto as using hardwiring to a pocket battery

I connect my controller but it disconnects in the middle of the game

I was really interested in the last and wanted to get it but it turns out they don’t ship to uk 😢

I just bought the Xbox One X cyberpunk Edition. I'm really disappointed that Xbox doesn't give you a controller with the console that actually can be charged. Coming from the PlayStation and Nintendo this is very disappointing.

Good job!

Awesome video

Soo what’s the best for online gaming?

Harbor freight rechargeable AA batteries named Thunderbolt Magnum that have a true 2500mah rating each totaling 5000mah and sold in 4 packs for $7.99 and the Charger for $6.99

I find the rechargeable AA batteries like the Panasonic eneloop are actually one of the best options if you don't mind having to swap AA batteries. The BQ-CC17 charger (Panasonic K-KJ17MCA4BA) with batteries is an $18+ investment (if you don't have an AA battery charger) but spending 18+ dollars is really worth it for any Xbox One or Series X|S owner. The advantage of the BQ-CC17 charger compared to the other cheap chargers is the BQ-CC17 can charge batteries individually whereas other chargers including the AmazonBasics battery charger only charge in pairs though this may be a moot point for Xbox Controllers since they use 2 AAs anyway but it's useful with devices using only 1/3 AA or AAA batteries. As Ξανδρος Peaches stated in a comment, beware of no-name batteries, especially AA Ni-Mh batteries, from China. Most of these batteries like POWEROWL tend to have lower capacity (e.g., 2300 mAh instead of 2800 mAh) and generally aren't Low Self Discharge. In addition, no-name rechargeable batteries tend to have inferior performance compared to name brand batteries like Panasonic eneloop, Duracell, and AmazonBasics.

My included batteries does the second day of owning my xbox one x lol

My energiser lasted 5 days other 1s last 1 day

is there a way to charge the plug and play batteries out side the controller since i have 2

I had a AA battery charger so I bought an 8 pack of AA batteries I'm really happy with it.

With the new xbox series x having an usb type C cable without led how do you know when it's charging and when it's not?

Hello can i just use any charging cable on my xbox series x and i heard it just make a wired controller but one thing is confusing me can it explode the controller if i keep using it forever

Can you do an episode about this for PlayStation controllers too?

Question: I'm new to xbox recently got Xbox Series S? Now I have Normal AA's Rechargeable Batteries can I put those in my controller then plug it in to charge it well that charge my battery with harm to controller

As good as this video is, you _really_ need to test battery capacity. The only brands that can be trusted for true rated capacity are name brands, or batteries that use name brand cells internally. A lot of cheaper brands, especially those from China where regulations are next to nonexistent, will overrate their batteries. Even within standard deviation, name brand cells can underperform, but no-name brands will almost always underperform, and deviation between cells will become out of control. Look at rechargeable batteries for example. Eneloops are one of the top brands for rechargeables. A brand that Amazon pushes, and heavily pushes during sales like Prime Day, are Powerowl. The Curious Engineer did a fairly in-depth video on the Powerowls, as other reviews seem to not exist, and the cells were overrated, blatantly falsely advertised in other ways, and underperformed, along with the deviation issue being broad. This is a great example of why you can't just trust an no-name brand for what their claimed capacity is. Cheap no-name brand is unreliable, where the name brand is reliable. Basically, if you're going to talk about battery capacity in the way you did, you need proof, preferably with scientific evidence, that the batteries perform as the companies claim.

How long are the respective cables?

Too bad Microsoft didn't design their controllers for a 21700 cell. There are 21700 li-ion cells that hold 5000mah and can be recharged at 3 amps. A single 21700 cell is also a bit lighter than a pair of AA cells.

you could always open up that charge-pack that is usb connected and replace them with better batteries like ones made for newer electronics.. Btw they're is also some regular rechargeable batteries that when you plug the cord in it charges them also. And then their are some controllers that will not work with the cable connected at all, and some that will work with the cable and no batteries and some you put dead batteries in first and then take them out to get them to use tghe cord and no batteries. Those back charger batteries suck i got some that i got cheap and they always break ive had to take them apart multiple times to fix them, and the contacts wear out over time and the weight also messes up over time. the batteries last 5-6 hours of actual playtime. Again though you can put new batteries in them and take them apart.

thx this helps :}

Have a question does the micro usb cable work on pc

can i charged the double A battery directly on the controller ?

Can I recharge and play at the same time using bionic batteries?

I wouldn’t get the bionik they can break somewhat easily and they lastly me like 4 or 5 months

How many X-box One battery kits have you changed in 6 years? And for the Venom brand? After how long do they start to last less?

I always see eBay knock off charging stands with included rechargeable batteries. The batteries are always 300mah for the cheapest option. That must not last at all

I just want the cheapest option of rechargeable batteries or wired controller with no gimmicks and just a regular controller

Bruh why TF batteries on Amazon if they can't ship them?

The batteries that came with my xbox lasted for 3 months

i bought this its says it works for series s and x does it work on those?

I was like "if he has an accent I ain't going to believe shit about what he saying" lmao

Is the xbox official play & charger the best option?

If you are using the rechargeable battery, i cannot charge the battery using the port from the controller ?

Will all these options work on Xbox series x

The normal battery's would last me only 2 days

Get the PowerA ones for $14

Why are my tv remotes batteries so strong??? Huh

Did u know that duracell had a pink bunny first, they lost their trademark so energizer then made a commercial about a pink bunny, and they couldn't do anything because their trademark expired, so now the duracell bunny is everywhere accept north america 👍

My drawer of dead batteries thanks you 😂

Do people play games for more thn 10hrs? 😂🙆🏿‍♂️
