Customer Reviews:
- Does the job: Overall this product is fine. Since I often forget to charge my battery pack until it dies, it is great that I can the charger into my controller and continue playing rather than running to find batteries while being fragged over and over while disconnected. The battery has a long life, even after almost a year of use I still can go an entire weekend of continuous gaming without charging.
The only complaint I have is that the portion of the charger that connects to the contoller/battery pack is a little touchy. Like an old Nintendo cartridge it has to be in the right position for it to work. The green charging light will not come on if the connector is completely in or not in enough. Not enough of a problem to not recommend, but not good enough to warrant a 5 star rating. - Play and Charge: This is great idea. It comes with the charger and a rechargeable battery. Definitely beats buying batteries over and over. It will charge your controller while your system is off. In order to do so, you need to first have the system on, plug in the charger and then turn off the sytem, and it will charge using the "trickle effect".
- great charging tool.: This is a must have with your 360 and a controller.
You can plug it in via USB to your Xbox 360 and charge the included battery pack while you play your game.
You can also remove your battery pack, and plug the cable directly to your 360 for wired gaming (so your controller won't shut off while you are in the middle of that hired driver Forza race.
This charges via any USB port on your 360, your computer, your cable box, or your dog (if he has included USB hub).
I recommend buying one of these, then buying the Quick Charge Kit. Then you'll have 2 battery packs, the quick charge dock, and a USB charge cable.
- good....when it decides to work: Basically you plug one end into your X-Box 360 system, and the larger part into your wireless controller. Once you turn your system on, this item is suppose to charge the battery pack of your controller for an endless amount of times.
First and foremost this item defeats the purpose of having a wireless controller since it needs to be plugged into your system just like a normal remote.
Secondly (and most frustratingly), the part that plugs into your controller is VERY fragile. If you plug & unplug it from the remote only a few times, the plug can actually begin to wear down and not charge properly and even go as far as to not charge at all. This has happened to me 3 times total. After the 3rd time I gave up on this product completely.
Finally, this item is suppose to tell you how charged up your battery is on the X-Box 360 dashboard. Half the time it does not do that.
Don't waste your money with this thing. Just go and buy yourself a recharger with rechargeable batteries such as the Sony Quick Battery Charger with 4 AA Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries and you'll be good. Sure this product is cheap, but after a few times you will wish you had taken my advice. - does exactly what it says: This is a great buy. I bought this because one of my controllers kept running out of battery. It charges the xbox 360 wireless controller while you are playing which is great because then you dont have to wait for it to charge. you can just play
