If that's your only issue, you should probably buy a Play and Charge Kit.

u/theory_at_work · 8 pointsr/xboxone

> For me, I think it would be awesome if they sold the controllers with a rechargeable (and removable) battery and add a button or two for screenshots/recording.

Get yourself a play-and-charge kit and a chatpad for your existing controller.

u/Sario27 · 7 pointsr/xboxone

It isn't rechargeable as the standard. It will require 2 AA batteries like the 360 controller. You can purchased a plug and charge kit for about 25 dollars that will come with a recharging battery pack. In the box I assume it will come with a set of AA's to get you going.

Also to note though that the connection to charge your controller will be a standard micro usb connection, so you can use your controller as a wired controller without batteries if you are so inclined to do so. I am not sure if the micro usb cable is included, but if you have ever owned a smart phone (besides the iphone) in the last 3 or 4 years I am sure you have one lying around.

You can buy a wireless adapter here if disposable batteries are an expense.

Does he/she use it with the TV or play a lot of media?

The Media Remote is awesome.

Or how about a Play & Charge kit?

u/SirLaxer · 4 pointsr/xboxone

That's why you have at least two sets. One set always fully charged in the wall charger, and the other set in your controller. It takes like 10-20 seconds to swap batteries.

Here's an Energizer set that includes a wall charger and four AA batteries for about $16. I used to use the Xbox One Play and Charge Kit, but it only has one pack, is more expensive ($25-$30), and I've found that those packs tend to wear down quicker than regular batteries. And there are a ton of people here who swear by Eneloop rechargeable batteries, but they're more expensive than the Energizer/Duracell options ($26-$36).

u/Daisypusha1323 · 3 pointsr/bapcsalescanada

There's actually a first party battery pack (manufactured and sold by Microsoft). My router is really powerful and causes some interference when playing wireless, so for games that require a lot of precise inputs like fighting games, I play wired. For games like FFXIV, I play wireless so I can recline back and zone out since a few lost inputs aren't the end of the world.

[Xbox Play and Charge] (https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-Play-Charge-Kit/dp/B00DBDPOZ4)

You mean like the one officially offered by Microsoft? Thats a pretty good one.

They can use 2 AA batteries or the Xbox rechargeable battery pack:
https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-Play-Charge-Kit/dp/B00DBDPOZ4

I have a couple of controllers using either the Xbox battery or standard rechargeable Ni-MH AA batteries. Both work great and last a long time between charges. Just avoid buying generic battery packs on eBay. I have had nothing but problems with them.

u/kraken9 · 2 pointsr/india

this controller with the optional accessory is the best i have came across so far.

u/cowsareverywhere · 2 pointsr/GameDeals

Just regular AA batteries (I use rechargeable ones). Or you can get one of these.

u/Sayburr · 2 pointsr/xboxone

I play with rechargeables, and prefer them.

Here is a scenario as to why... you are playing a game, really getting into it, when your controller turns off due to runing out of "juice".

With rechargables, you switch out the batteries, and continue to play just like before.

With charge kit, you have to plug in your controller, so you are now using a controller hooked to your console. I, personally, don't like that.

u/bajungadustin · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

My girlfriend told me that at the end of the day she will buy everything in my amazon cart up to 300 dollars...

But I didn't really have anything I needed or even wanted all that bad.. Took me all day to find stuff lol.

So I got

Corsair Hydro Series H100i v2 $97

JD Fenix Limited Edition Xbox One Wireless Controller $55

Microsoft Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows $21

Xbox One Play and Charge Kit $24

SanDisk 128GB Flash Drive $32

APC 11-Outlet Surge Protector $35

APC 8-Outlet Surge Protector $25

10 Nylon Lanyards for Small Electronic Devices $4

Still have 8 dollars left over haha.

u/cptavim · 2 pointsr/buildapcsales

I'm pretty sure you can just plug it in and use it without batteries. It uses a micro-usb cable, not a proprietary one.

If you don't want to use batteries, you can just use this official battery from Microsoft. Then the controller will be rechargeable like a Dualshock 4. It also comes with a micro-usb cable.

u/xooxanthellae · 2 pointsr/xboxone

What console does he have now? An Xbox 360?

Just wait till Black Friday and get whatever is cheapest.

You don't need Kinect or the Xbox One S. Just get the regular Xbox One with a controller... might be bundled with some games, if that's the cheaper option.

The console does not come with a controller recharger -- it just has batteries. So it's up to you if you want to keep buying batteries, use rechargeable batteries, or buy the [Play and Charge Kit] (https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-Play-Charge-Kit/dp/B00DBDPOZ4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474487379&sr=8-1&keywords=xbox+one+play+and+charge). Personally I have the play & charge because I don't want to be bothered with buying/recharging batteries.

Recommended games for him: Halo Master Chief Collection, Halo 5. Final Fantasy XV is coming out Sept 30th but it will be cheaper if you wait a while to get it. Final Fantasy Type-0 HD is pretty cheap right now, but it doesn't have the best reviews -- it started off as a handheld game, so it's not a huge game.

Games are going to be way cheaper used on Amazon than in any stores. You can buy an Amazon gift card with cash at a store and use that to buy stuff on Amazon.

u/ChunkyThePotato · 2 pointsr/xboxone

Weird. AA batteries should last you at least 30 hours of use with no headset. I personally use a play and charge kit and get really good battery life. Highly recommend it, not specifically for increasing battery life (though it may help if you're having some weirdness), but for saving money and convenience since you never have to get disposable batteries again.

u/mrbubbamac · 2 pointsr/gaming

Yup, if you already have a controller you can just get the play and charge accessory.

u/EndlersaurusRex · 2 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

> And a charger grip should not be $30 freaking dollars. Its a charger! They should be $5 or $10

While I would prefer it to come with the charging grip, let's not pretend Nintendo is alone in this.

At least the JoyCons can be charged without extra investment at all. The same cannot be said about an Xbox One controller. And I own three of them.

It turns out that I was forgetting to hold my butts. Lol

Actually, it looks like the issue was with the rechargeable battery pack I am using (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DBDPOZ4/).

I put some regular AA batteries in, and problem solved. Nothing obviously wrong with battery pack, and I didn’t have this issue with the One S.

u/moosehairunderwear · 1 pointr/xbox
u/nick_winch · 1 pointr/xboxone

If you haven't gotten one yet, I use a rechargeable battery pack with the charge cable. This way you can play if your controller runs low on juice instead of just charging and waiting.

u/GloriousEggroll · 1 pointr/linux_gaming

havent tried yet, but i found this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/5bxc0f/anyone_have_any_luck_with_xbox_one_bluetooth/

I can give it a shot when I get home, think I have a bluetooth adapter floating around somewhere.

i dont think youll need to connect them through usb first as youll be making a connection via bluetooth

there's only one micro-usb port in the top. the bottom is a jack for headphones and a plug for controller accessories (such as xb1 keypad)

i highly recommend the play and charge kit for charging, the battery lasts a long time wirelessly (longer than ps4--i have both systems):

u/HockeyPadsBatman · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

To get an xbox one controller to play wirelessly on PC you need this one. It comes with a dongle.

I just got that one and the play and charge kit, which gives you a recharging battery pack for it. The pack will only charge if you use the micro USB cable that came with the kit, FYI. I felt like a dunce when I finally figured out that's why it wasn't charging,

u/Firello · 1 pointr/RocketLeague

yes, cable is ncluded i hope.. so thats all... if you want to play wireless, you would need:

u/UnrealAce · 1 pointr/xboxone

My girlfriend picked up a pair of Duracel Rechargables for us and they've been working great.

If you prefer the Microsoft route it's always reliable.

Or the ever popular Eneloop Rechargables

All 3 of those options last quite a long time, I've only tried the Duracel's but they've been fantastic for such a cheap price.

u/ppenn777 · 1 pointr/xboxone

I've always loved the [Xbox charge and play ](Xbox One Play and Charge Kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DBDPOZ4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_igXNybQ695YP0). The battery pack last a long time and you just plug in and keep playing while it charges (charges fast also). Had for the 360 and worked perfectly for 6 years. Had it for xb1 since day 1.

u/jon553 · 1 pointr/xboxone
u/tman2damax11 · 1 pointr/xboxone

Actually don't buy that. It comes with the old style controller , it's actually cheaper to buy one of the new S style controller (better bumpers, bluetooth, headphone jack, and textured grip) and the play and charge kit separately, here's the links for those:

Nyko charge base $21 I own this and it last me a really long time with heavy gaming.

Microsoft play and charge kit $24

Nyko play and charge: 2 batteries $15 1 battery $6

u/sad_xbox · 0 pointsr/xboxone

I vote for the play and charge kit. first, the official one uses a Lithium Ion battery, which is nice. second, swapping batteries in the middle of a gaming session is less convenient than plugging a cord in.
