Just wondering what most people's recommendations are for Xbox one batteries. Obviously Microsoft sells their own battery kit, but there are third party solutions that are cheaper.

Anyone use these Nyko ones: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FLLFJOU/?tag=neogaf0e-20

The best buy insignia brand also tends to have good reviews. Is it best to forego these ones and just pony up for Microsofts batteries?

A.D. Skinner · Aug 13, 2015

Always rechargeable AAs. I have over double the play time than a play and charge kit, and a 1 hour charger. It's beautiful. Cannot personally speak Eneloops and I have no idea what the rave is, I have Duracell's, with green bits in them and they last FOREVER.

I love Eneloops but these are just as good and cheaper:

Don't know why the price has risen. I got this same one for $30 a year ago

GWX · Aug 13, 2015

I wish we had Eneloops in Brazil

x24hrs2livex · Aug 13, 2015

I've got some Duracell rechargeable batteries that I bought from Rite-Aid for $10. I get about 40-50 out of them.

Guy Legend · Aug 13, 2015

Wow thanks for the consensus replies. Those sound perfect - especially great to take care of both controllers.

Kama_1082 · Aug 13, 2015

I use play and charge and I've had no problems with it.

Spider_Jerusalem · Aug 13, 2015

AmazonBasics (which are just rebranded Eneloops, and cheaper) + a good charger like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000WILI42/

And make sure to always have some batteries charged and ready to use, so when your controller goes off you can simply switch batteries, put the old ones in the charger and you're ready to go. I'd love if PS4 allowed me to do this too.

SlaughterX · Aug 13, 2015

I just use rechargable AA batteries, Duracell to be exact but any will do.

Same. But starting to have that lemming feeling and want to jump on the enloop bandwagon...

Ishmae1 · Aug 13, 2015

Came in to say eneloops.

See that everyone says "use eneloops" already.

Still replies with "use eneloops" because... you should use eneloops.

Costco typically has a ~$25 set of 8 AAs plus a charger and a few AAAs. Great deal.

see5harp · Aug 13, 2015

To be honest I use eneloops, Duracell, and even have a play and charge battery. They all last a really long time in the Xbox one controller. I don't play every day anymore but I swear I plug the thing in to charge like once a week (if not less than that).

I've been using the nyko charge station have two for both my systems zero issues and lasts long days between charges with long play sessions.

The only game stuff i use enloops in are wii remotes and wavebirds

DudeWithNoName · Aug 13, 2015

I use both Eneloops & Amazon Basics in my eneloop charger. Godly.

PepsimanVsJoe · Aug 13, 2015

I just ordered Eneloops off Amazon.
Haven't actually used them.

But yeah...Eneloops.

Erimriv · Aug 13, 2015

These are eneloops rebranded, I have them and they work great.

Shenmue · Aug 13, 2015

The answer is always eneloops.

People on GAF don't agree very often, but it seems like we can about rechargeable batteries!

Eneloops are what will ultimately bring peace to the GAF.

SkinnerSw33t · Aug 13, 2015

I use Eneloops. Going to give the Amazon-brand batteries a try next time I order some.

KeyboardThug · Aug 13, 2015

I have always bought this brand.
Link

I have a 4 pack that I bought in 2005 for my X360 and they still work great and hold a long charge.

see5harp · Aug 13, 2015

Personally I haven't experienced that much difference between my eneloops and these brand new duracells. I use them in both my wireless mouse and random remotes. They all seem the same aside from the fact that eneloops use a cool font on the packaging.

Stevey · Aug 13, 2015

Duracell rechargables here.

Used to use Duracell Industrial AA

Ultimadrago · Aug 13, 2015

What makes Eneloops amazing and why haven't I heard of them until now?

I haven't done any actual 1:1 tests with the Amazons, but I think they work great. Eneloop user here as well. LOL

shiftplusone · Aug 13, 2015

Are there any eneloop chargers that let you leave the batteries in them

I am a forgetful person but don't want my house to catch fire when I forget to take batteries out of the charger after 2 hours (first set I got had some dire warnings on em)

Nzyme32 · Aug 13, 2015

Eneloop batteries are the best rechargeable batteries I've ever used, even compared to disposables.

vermadas · Aug 13, 2015

Rechargeable NiMH batteries got a reputation for having horrible discharge rates while not being used. Eneloops have an extremely low discharge and will thus last much longer. At least, that was the case several years ago. It could be the likes of Duracell and such have caught up, but I haven't seen any compelling enough evidence to make me want to switch.

Snatch1414 · Aug 13, 2015

Obviously Eneloops are the real deal judging by all the responses but for me: Get off your ass and use the charge cable that came with the system. I just keep mine plugged into the side of the console and once every week or two depending on how much I'm playing I plug it in. I don't see what's so hard.

Archpath1 · Aug 13, 2015

Eneloops are love.

Eneloops are life.

I mean you probably don't want to leave them in the charger plugged in for months or anything, but my eneloop chargers stop charging after they are full. I've left them like that for days before.

The one I linked to is great just find it cheaper. I let them sit there for days with no problems

Booker.DeWitt · Aug 13, 2015

eneloop for sure.
