Not much I can say other than, these batteries are long lasting. The reason why I bought these black ones is because every one of my neighbors have white controllers with white batteries, they would come home and play with my kids, next think I know, my batteries are gone, at least now I can tell who took them. ha ha.
I sold the two white rechargeable batteries with the white console to make the package more attractive to the buyer. And they almost always use up their batteries at the most inconvenient of times. Basically, with this product, you are paying for convenience. If you factor in the cost of the Quick Charger (which is still white, by the way), along with the price of this pack, you can see that it is more than the price of a pair of rechargeable AAs and a charger. This is my third rechargeable battery for an XBox 360 system. How much charge will this battery pack hold. I suggest that you purchase two.
I have taken batteries from my console's controller in the past and move them to a portable audio player, for example. This product will only work for your Xbox, so you are assured of always having a fresh pack available. But more than a pair of rechargeable NiMH AAs. The first two were white, to match my 20G premium console.
This rechargeable battery is a nice item to have for your console, but it is not a necessity. My original intention was to simply buy a pair of regular AA rechargeable batteries and a charger. You see, such events rarely happen at a time that is convenient for you. I have recently upgraded to an Elite console (for the reasons mentioned in a separate review of that system) and sold the last of my 20G models. Like most people, I have a lot of electronic items that use size AA batteries. If you have children and they use your console, I definitely suggest having a spare battery charged at all times. Not as much as a pair of regular alkaline AAs.
I have been known to take a set of batteries from one device and use it in another device just to avoid having to run to the store. I decided to go ahead and purchase this system because I wanted to have a battery system dedicated just for the Xbox. And then end up with no batteries for my controller when I really want to play a game. The last thing you want is for your child to pester you to drive to the store for some fresh, disposable batteries.
I bought the Xbox 360 Quick Charge Kit which comes with a rechargeable battery and an extra rechargeable battery because i was tired of buying batteries :P.Its a must for every xbox 360 owner, also remember to get the quick charge kit.
Not only will they work better, but you can also use them with any other product. People - don't buy this product. This battery pack is propietary and only works with 360 controllers. First of all, the batteries do not hold a charge at all. It's a complete rip off for 2 reasons. If you let this sit around for even just one week without using it, all the juice will be gone.Second, it's no cheaper than standard rechargeable batteries, so why not just use those to begin with. If it was insanely awesome battery time it might be worth it, but it's not, so don't waste your money.
Bought mine from Deal Extreme, the chinese version, for 7 dollars. charges via usb hub or port. sweet, the 'soft will survive without mine money.
