kylecp1979 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I have 4 xbox 360 pads and I just use the play and charge cable to charge them one by one. I was thinking of buying a charge station but I was wondering what the best route to go would be. Thanks for your input in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styphelus Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 And this is why mine are wired controllers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avar Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I'm with Styphelus but I got a buddy with a charge station. It looks convenient enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THK Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I have 2 with this charging kit: Worked amazing and I kept the AAA battery cases for backup. Unfortunately, after years of loyal service, they are pretty much done for and I'm forced to use AAA batteries again. Also, I can't seem to find the charging cables anymore. I'd buy the loose batteries again as I already have the charging station, but my controllers see little use atm. And I'm considering replacing them with xbONE controllers if I start regularly using multiple controllers again. In the end, this works great. you can of course keep the cables as backup and/or buy a couple of extra batteries as they're way less expensive than the actual official kit and can be had with a larger capacity.

kylecp1979 Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Thank you all for the input all great suggestions. I too was kinda thinking of getting an xbox one controller.

Tribe Fan Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I use a Nyko charging station which has worked very well for me. But I use the wii classic controller pro along with the dolphin bar as my primary controller. I only use the 360 pads for PC games. I'm still not a fan of the directional pad on the 360 controllers.

kylecp1979 Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Yeah I'm not a fan of the 360 d-pad either. I don't use it much unless I'm playing tekken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyHighGam3r Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I'm very surprised my method wasn't mentioned.I use Recharge-able AA batteries.But I use a LOT of them.Basically it's like this:I have 2 X360 Controllers, so that's 4 AA batteries. However, I have an AA Battery charger with another 4 AAs that are charged. When the ones in the controller run low, I swap them out with the charged ones. That way, as I drain the new batteries, the old ones are filling.I prefer this method because you only have to stop for all of about 10 seconds before you are up and running again. I use this for my all my controllers on all systems that use batteries. so I have like 3 chargers lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylecp1979 Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Thanks for the suggestion but im not a fan of batteries in my controllers. I wish microsoft would just put rechargeable batteries in there controllers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomkun Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I used to use the battery packs, but I found they are really short-lived and unreliable. I have 2 battery packs which refuse to charge anymore. I just stick to rechargeable batteries now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyHighGam3r Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Thanks for the suggestion but im not a fan of batteries in my controllers. I wish microsoft would just put rechargeable batteries in there controllers. REALLY!?? I Hate how Sony does that. I have to tether myself to my console and sit right in front of my TV when my controller dies, and I'd rather sit on the couch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylecp1979 Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Yes I would rather charge my controllers then use batteries. I have multiple controllers so recharging isn't an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayzor753 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I just use regular rechargeable AA batteries in mine with a wall charger. http://www.samsclub.com/sams/duracell-charger-charger-aa8ct-aaa4ct/prod10700113.ip?navAction= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccorkled Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 USB. Takes like 30 minutes for a full charge and they last hours and hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigapig Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I just use Duracell rechargeables for all controllers, that way I can choose the highest milliamps so the charge lasts. Some of those charge packs are probably low mAh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
