    Xbox One controller killing batteries


    I have had my Xbox One since late 2015. In the last month my original controllers have been eating up the batteries on a weekly and now daily basis. I cannot just keep buying AA’s for them to die every day. I’m hardly playing more than I have in the past
    and the games aren’t rumble intensive. I know I can get the rechargeable battery packs but I am nervous that that won’t be a guarantee of battery life either. Is there any solution? Are the controllers just busted?

    :)

    Hi OperaWaffles

    Have you tried buying rechargeable AA batteries?

    I buy 2500mAh batteries and they last about 3-5 days on a single charge depending on the amount of gaming I do. I have two sets, so the one set is in the controller and the other set is in the charger.

    So by the time the set is depleted in the controller, the set in the charger is ready to go go. Just swap them around and your gaming again.

    The normal AA batteries you buy has a much lower mAh (approximately 1700) rating so they don't last that long. Especially cheap batteries. And you can't re-use/recharge them

    how many hours do you guys play a day? I tend to leave mine on for pretty much all day and my plug and play usually lasts the better part of a week I want to say? I tend to charge it if im heading out or going to work
