This is similar to the one I have now. I've bought 3 different ones over the years. As time goes on they either dont charge 100% or they lose the charge after a couple hours of gameplay.

    Anyone have recommendations for rechargeable battery? Or are they all like this? Thanks

    1. Eneloop AAs. Even Energizer, Ikea’s and Amazon’s NiMH rechargeables are also pretty good. But I can say the Eneloops last for years; I have some that are over 7 years old and they don’t hold a charge as well but are plenty usable. They also work in most things that use AAs.

      There’s tons of no name battery packs like these and most are probably okay, but some will give you problems within a couple of years. Hard to tell since there’s less or zero quality control with those brands.

    2. These batteries lasted me for years. It’s better and cheaper than buying AA batteries every three days. All you have to do is charge them for one hour and they would stay charged up to 6 hours 

    3. EBL batteries are good too. I have both, Eneloop and EBL. They generally last around 5yrs before the voltage becomes high and they can no longer take a charge.

    4. Rechargeable AAs are a much better idea – plentiful, tons of good and cheap chargers, and useful in a lot of gadgets and things beyond your controllers.

    5. I got some that you can recharge through the USBc port without having to remove them anymore

    6. I’ve used Energizer. Easy to replace and easier to charge. You can get them with a charger and without. More of your devices can use them too

    7. prettybluefoxes on

      The answer is always Eneloops or similar Panasonic/fujitsu etc

      Not from amazon tbough

    8. I have those same type of rechargeable packs. Used them for several years and they work great.
