http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/x...gebatterypack/
I bought a pair of these a few months ago for use with my Xbox 360 Wireless Controllers. I charge them with my Play-n-Charge kit. The Battery Pack lasts a long time, probably a month in-between charges, at the rate I play. It's nice not having to buy alkalines once a month.
Highly Recommended!  | |

I went with the charge tower thing (charges 2 batteries) simply because my xobx is up high and above the big screen... which makes the play & charge thing impossible. The cord's just too short to play plugged in.
With the tower version, I never run out of juice. Swap one & run. | |

My play and charge cable stays plugged into my pc 24/7 and have used this setup since launch. Play and charge came down from 20 to 11.00 with friends BB discount so it was a no brainer. | |

If a person already has 2 batteries and a play and charge but doesnt like the cord coming out of the 360 for some reason(placement/height/tripping), plug it into the pc and charge one battery while using the other and switch when needed  | |

Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Omaha | I've been thinking about picking one of these up. I have one play and charge thingy but 2 controllers. I'd like to have the tower charger thing if only for the 2nd rechargable battery pack. | |

I got my extra recharge pack from some PC hardware place that was less expensive than the standard MS price and it was a MS pack. | |

| Hopefully I'll get a quickcharge kit for my birthday since I had it on my Amazon wish list. It should be much easier for me to use than the Play and Charge kit that I have since I can just put it in a cabinet and leave it there. | |
