4 Stars Limited Lifetime
Apparently Amazon thinks this is battery pack is a game, haha…

Oh well… the pack is good… But won’t last forever… mine lasted about a year and a half.

5 Stars Great
Must-have if you don’t feel like changing batteries every week or so saves alot of money in the long run.

5 Stars great product
I have 3 of these battery packs and the quick charger. Its the worst when you’re in the middle of a game (esp online) and your batteries die. For $12, these battery packs are pretty much a no-brainer. They’re solidly made (though I still hate the clam-shell packaging which makes it hard to open) and I’ve recharged a single pack, easily two dozen times. So far as I can tell, it still has full charge. Think about it this way – a package of AA batteries costs about $8-10 depending on where you go. You’ll burn through those batteries in a month or two, or shorter if you use the netflix feature on x-box live and forget to turn off your controller while watching. Your usage will obviously greatly vary, but you could be conceivably paying $30-40/year on batteries!

$12 for a battery pack.

1 Star Don’t buy the pink one
I have had a battery for my white controller for several years and havn’t had any problems. I bought a pink controller and i didn’t use it for a few weeks and it wouldn’t hold a charge anymore. So i bought another one which i uses on a more regular basis, and it stopped holding a charge and it’s only been a few months. I kept it plugged up for like a day, and it starting working again like normal. It worked for about two weeks and now it won’t charge again. I can keep it plugged up for hours and as soon as i unplug it it cuts off. I would give my white battery pack five stars, but the pink one is junk.

5 Stars Lasts Long Pink Battery
This was a great deal! The battery lasts very long before you have to charge it and it gets great distance. I recommend buying this if you have a pink controller and need a battery pack.

1 Star Worst blister pack I’ve ever encountered.
I am slouched in my computer chair as I type this… bloody, winded, and defeated. A mere shadow of my former, confident self. I have long known that it is folly to wrestle with a blister pack without the benefit of scissors, but just as I always feared… they’ve finally built a better blister pack.

I cut the top edge. Thinking the fell packaging bested like so many that preceded it, I laid down my scissors, placed my fingers into its open wound, and pulled apart with great force, barely suppressing an animalistic victory cry…

It is a good thing I supressed that victory cry, friends, for had I not I would have looked very foolish (in addition to stressing my intercostal cartilage) when the package refused to yield, and laughed off my efforts.

“Alright”, I thought. “I’ve some more tricks up my sleeve.” I reclaimed the scissors and set to work removing the left seam of the package. An unholy snap! My scissors lay broken, and my arm (not my hand, ladies and gentlemen, but my ARM) was slowly welling up dark, rich blood in the deep gouge left, presumably, by the flying bit of brittle plastic which the package had flung at me, to protect itself against my insistent slicing.

I retreated to the bathroom, treated and dressed my wound, and crept back, warily, to the field of battle. The package lay on my bed, looking quite battered, yet smug and very self-satisfied. I live alone. Today, there will be no reinforcements. Knowing that all the hopes of my discharged Xbox 360 controller batteries depended on my efforts and my efforts alone, I crawled to the scissors on the floor, and fell back immediately to a safe distance to plan my next attack.

I decided that where guile had failed, boldness might succeed. I would cut directly down the center of the front side of the package: straight through the heart of the renegade guardian of my Quick Charge Kit. I did so, with speed and precision comparable to that of a feline ninja… or at least a fat guy with a serious grudge against a plastic shell. The gash was glorious. No fewer than 4 inches long, and terminating below the product within, so that even if the package proves unusually hardy, I will almost certainly pry the fault apart far enough to retrieve the device within. I placed one hand on the right seam, and the other near the bottom of the new gash, of which I’d made a gift to my adversary, and pull will all my strength. My ribs glow white hot, filling the room with excruciating brightness and my consciousness with a pain the likes of which I hope never to know again. I drop the package onto the bed, and stumble back to my chair, falling backward into it.

As I lay here, maybe dying, I reflect on that final sequence of mistakes… which ONE, if any, could have saved my life and sanity, had I only not made it… Was it my choice to use scissors instead of fire? Was it my hubris-fueled insistence upon opening the package with my own efforts, just because I am 25 and an adult who should be able to fend for himself, where I might have simply left it aside until I next visited my parents four states away, and then, tail tucked firmly betwixt my thights, I could have asked mommy to do it. Was it my decision to buy this product in the first place? Who can say, for certain?

My musing continues… if I recover from my injuries, how will I respond? Do I launch another assault on the dread unopenable package? Do I crown it the prince of my home, swear eternal fealty, and begin designing a new flag to represent the sheer dominance and magnificence of this mighty blister pack?

But one thing, gentle reader, is certain: you can learn from my experience. Just say no to inaccessibly-packaged consumer goods! It’s not too late. *cough* *cough*

Avenge… me…

5 Stars Very handy and useful
Small, easy to store and very handy and it charges the battery packs very quickly. It’s a must have for anyone with the rechargeable battery packs. Highly recommend this item!

5 Stars nothing to complain about
I bought this after my dog chewed up the end of my charging cable. This charges the batteries much faster and it will charge two at the same time.

5 Stars Fast and reliable
The product is amazing: charges the batteries real fast and its easy to use. Excellent purchase

5 Stars Works and better than having cords
Works perfectly. Better than having those chargers with the cords. I just pop them in and out when the battery gets low.

5 Stars Useful and Cheap
Saving is what calls out the most in this product, specially nowdays, when we’ve been talking about saving nature from chemicals.

5 Stars If you have an Xbox 360 Elite, you’re going to need 2 or more of these
This is a given, if you own an Xbox 360, buy these battery packs. I know we can complain how they should come with the system, and having to purchase them is a ripoff. Seeing how Sony’s controller comes already with a rechargeable battery within it. However, unlike the shameless ripoff that is the $180 Xbox 360 120GB hard drive, the $12 price for this handy item isn’t so bad.

For me, I usually replace them once a week, and I’m a moderate gamer. It has no effect on my gaming though, cause it only takes an hour or 2 to charge on the charger, also sold separately. They are easy to swap in an out, just a click and swap. As far as longevity, we have had the white ones since the first Xbox 360 came out. Meaning, we have never had to throw any of these out in two plus years. Just imagine the cost of batteries, and the impact on environment that would have if you chose not to get this. Sorry to get preachy, we live in Portland after all.

5 Stars It’s pink.
Not much too say other than it looks better than a white or other color battery in my granddaughter’s controller.

5 Stars This is a good accesory
If you whant to keep playing and you dont wahnt to ahve lots of old batteries liying around this is worth every penny…

If you play a lot yull need this accesory
