    Average battery life with AA batteries in Xbox wireless controller?


    My Xbox is arriving tomorrow and I am curious about how much battery life you all get on average if you use AA batteries. My parents are buying the Xbox, but I have to pay for extras so batteries for now most likely. But, say I am a casual gamer and gonna
    play like 1-3 hours per day, how many days can I expect it to last? Also, assuming I turn off the battery draining features such as vibrate. If you can't relate to my example then could you say how much you play per day and how long it lasts?

    Thanks

    :)

  3. XBOX 360 Wireless Controller Rechargeable Battery

    I just bought a brand new XBOX 360 Wireless Controller that came with 2 AA batteries. It also says you can use a rechargeable battery with it instead of the 2 AA batteries.

    I have some of the original wireless controllers with the original rechargeable batteries. Do those batteries work with the new controllers or do I need to buy a new kind of rechargeable battery?

    Thanks.

    Average battery life with AA batteries in Xbox wireless controller?

    Hi, may I suggest you invest in the play and charge kit ?

    .

    www.microsoftstore.com/.../productID.255172800

    .

    You'll find it a worthy purchase but I'm sure you can find it on sale cheaper elsewhere.

    .

    As for your original question I did find this test that was carried out.

    .

    Microsoft’s Xbox 360 controllers are the most weighted when compared to either Wii or PS3 — by far. They also pack the most rumble punch, shaking profusely during intense gaming moments. So it would make sense to think the added density and tactile feedback
    would drain batteries with haste, but our lab results proved quite the contrary. The Xbox 360 controller endured an impressive 56 hours and 56 minutes, the most of any wireless controller we tested. Fittingly, our second to last play session went 360 minutes
    on the dot. The dashboard battery meter isn’t as accurate as PS3 or Wii, but for maximum gaming on a single battery charge, the Xbox 360 can’t be beat. ProTip: Consider an Xbox 360 Quick Charge Kit or alternative to avoid disposable batteries, though you’ll
    get a bit less mileage between charges.

    Hey, thanks for your response, I want to get a charge and play kit, but I can't afford it right now since I have to pay for my phone bill and my only job is cutting people's lawns(I'm just now 15 today). So, batteries are pretty cheap, but I may consider
    those later. In that test did they use batteries or fresh out of box?

    Usb cable not working after controllee update.

    Insert a new set of AA batteries into the wireless controller and then try to turn it on. For more information about using AA batteries in a wireless controller, see Using AA batteries in your Xbox One wireless controller. If you have an Xbox One Play and
    Charge Kit, try using the rechargeable battery pack.
