Rechargeable Xbox batteries available for under $12
Amazon is offering a cost-effective solution for Xbox controller users tired of frequently changing AA batteries. A two-pack of rechargeable batteries from the brand 6amLifestyle is available for just $11.69 after applying available coupons. This makes each battery pack only $5.85, which is significantly cheaper than the official Microsoft Play & Charge Kit that sells for $25 for one battery. These batteries are compatible with both Xbox Series X|S and older Xbox One controllers. A key advantage of this product is that it connects through the regular USB port of the Xbox controller, unlike many other rechargeable options that require a different port. The package includes a 10-foot USB Type-C cable that has indicators showing the charging status, turning red while charging and blue when fully charged. 6amLifestyle claims that each battery can provide up to 35 hours of playtime and takes about three hours to recharge fully. This performance is comparable to the official Play & Charge Kit, which offers around 30 hours of playtime and a four-hour charge time. Having two batteries allows users to quickly switch to a fully charged pack when one runs out, reducing downtime during gaming sessions.
