Xbox One Controller Battery Life

Where can you find out how much battery life your Xbox One controller has? On the 360 I would press the Xbox logo button and when the menu appeared, I could see how many bars out of 4 the battery has. Anything like this? Just got it yesterday and still trying
things, but this was one I repeatedly miss since I was using the AA batteries.

Thanks.

Best AA batteries for Xbox One controller, Scuf one and Canon and Sony Digital Camera

Picture of my Xbox one controller with the Extended Battery Life AA batteries in it, purchased from
The Console Battery Shop

 

Still no release in The Netherlands

Germany is likely easier as the power plug is the same I believe, whereas UK one is different.

.

As for controller, no doubt the DualShock improved more than Xbox controller, but that's not hard when one controller starts from atrocious and the other one is near perfect. Then there's the whole 5-8h battery life compared to like.. 35h battery life too

 

Currently it's not available, but it's coming in an update.

 

Hook it up to charge when you're done gaming, and you shouldn't have issues... Unless you game 15 hours a day, but if that's the case my advice is get a job, a friend, or at least a swing set because the Sun is good, vitamin D is important =-)

 

My duracells were barely lasting the week.



So I invested in some rechargeables that are now on a permanent rotation.

 

Play and charge kit. Best thing I bought with my Xbox One. Battery lasts for ages.

 

Yep this totally needs to be added ASAP but at least it lasts longer than the DS4. I honestly have to charge that thing after almost every session!!! Its lucky they have the battery gauge haha. Great controller though!

Really looking forward to the next X1 update!!

 

Buy a Play and Charge kit. The quality of the batteries is a lot better than any other rechargeable ones. It also fits perfectly in your controller. When I used rechargeable batteries, every time I shook my controller, it felt like there was something loose
in it. Not with the Play and Charge Kit. I can play for two weeks without recharging batteries.

 

2 weeks? Damn my play n charge kit lasts about 2nights... Maybe i game too much.

 

I never really looked at how much battery was left on the 360 controller, I just played until it was dead then recharge it while gaming. So guess this isn't really a big issue for me.
