PowerA Solo Charging Stand for Xbox Series X|S - Black, Charging Station for Xbox Wireless Controller, Officially Licensed

Bought these for my son. A very good solution to getting access back to my AA rechargeable batteries. These fit perfectly and you can charge without needing to remove. Good value.

I chose these as I’ve had the A power docking charger and battery packs for a good few years and although they only tend to last a few years of moderate use before the batteries stop holding a charge I’ve been more than happy with the products, I chose these specifically as they’re compatible with my current charging dock and have the play and charge function. Good points, these batteries and covers fit the controllers (Xbox one and series x versions) extremely well and they do last a few hours of moderate gaming before needing a charge also with them being compatible with the older charging docks is a bonus. Bad points, the battery life seems way down compared to the previous version batteries, the play and charge function doesn’t seem to work very well, I find if I plug the usb c cable into the controller when it dies and try to use it straight away it simply turns off again within seconds, yet if I plug the cable directly into the controller there’s no issues whatsoever. This is the main reason I chose the plug and play controller battery pack over the older version batteries and because of this I don’t think I can really recommend them as a decent replacement for the older versions.
