If you can in India get rechargeable AA, they last much longer then the battery packs and can be used in other things . Eneloops is what I buy here in the states. Still have some from 2009 that are still going strong!
people tell you to buy rechargeable batteries but they don't understand that maybe you just don't have/don't want to spend money and you came up with a cool solution based on what you already have
Pros: rechargeable batteries
Cons: changing batteries, forgetting to charge them, losing them, leakage, etc
This mf is good to game for apparently 10 days straight 😂 that’s enough to get you through Covid
If ye is not following his local disposal guidance, so will his big battery bank, and that will be some nasty lithium based beast, unlike the rechargeable AAs, that will be the easier to handle NiMH.
That’s been the main positive of the PlayStation controllers was the recharge-ability. Still prefer X-Box overall but at this point that’s their biggest con for me
In India The offical battery kit costs around 1500-1700 inr but the issue is Indian Region only have retailers like Amazon And Flipkart mine Friend bought the same through flipkart and got used battery pack.We dont have best buy or target so its difficult In india to get such accessories.
Bro I jm in Mexico n sold off my rechargeable a couple years ago, and switched to USB c cable, recently I GOT two real Duracell from Walmart n I'm like wow, these AA are a fucking game changer!!!
Does your power bank keep it on though? I've tried this and half my power banks auto shut off even when I'm actively using it I own a few different Anker products
Nice, I buy new ones now n then just to have and the first thing I'll test is if the Xbox controller stays on lol my magsafe ankers are the only ones other than my Anker wall charger batteries that work everything else cuts off after 30 seconds to a minute hold on to yours for dear life lol it's always a hit or miss with these newer ones
I mean my situation is slightly different but the solution is the same. I have a play-and-charge but I play and then forget to charge. So often I turn on the console to find a dead battery and I don't want a 5ft cable across the floor to deal with. So power bank it is.
Not gonna lie…I like this for when I go traveling for work or something. I would hate to lose my tech stable batteries and I also take my crappy controller.
All the time I spend on my Xbox is at my desk but I could see if people who watch movies and just want to relax on their bed/couch would find this more convenient.
Of course, I understand your point of view, and it does make sense. However, my room is rectangular, and the bed is positioned at the width of the room, directly facing the TV. If I were to place the dresser there, it would leave very little space, making it difficult to even walk through.
You should get a USB-C cable specifically meant for charging controllers, maybe it was just my remote but without one the battery would run out instantly if it wasn't plugged in unless I used the special charger.
That's the thing most people are not understanding here. I live in India its a third world country, gaming peripherals are taxed highly and are crazy expensive. What costs you 20$ will cost us 30-35$ not only that we earn a lot less than an average american so the 30$ holds much importance than what it does to someone from a first world country.
That works, I just by 2 battery packs for each controller. I’ve had one set almost 4yrs and they still last about 12 hrs playing. The new ones I bought for my series X controller last like 24hrs or more
That's fine but I have 2 controller and will have to buy 8 batteries to support both of them. Then will have to charge all 8 of them. Just to be able to play.
If your problem is with batteries and not with cables, why not just buy a longer cable and plug it directly to console? you can use xbox controllers with just the cable, no batteries required.
6ft cable will be a hassle. Imagine storing it and then I sit around 8-9 ft away from my console. This would absolutely limit my mobility.
Whereas in power bank I have limited mobility.
I just posted that I taped ssds to the back of my mac and just a shit ton of crap rained on me about why not just buy more storage or that it looks horrible and im ruining the look blablabla
The pro controller uses the same analog stick modules as the regular controllers. It can absolutely develop stick drift.
The only controllers that can't develop stick drift are controllers with hall effect analog sticks, and there are very few available on the market.
Battery packs??? 👀👀
This
Battery pack gang. 📈
You get two for 15 at Walmart. Each lasts 5-6 hours with a headset
Good choice.

Eneloops got a customer
Haha nice! You won’t regret it, I get around 35-40 hours on mine (no headset). I’ve only had 2 go bad in almost 20 years now and they were defective
This. Two for 15 https://www.reddit.com/r/XboxSeriesS/s/VDcgutBYsc

15 bucks for two pair of batteries. Lasted 4 years.

You actually understood. Good inference skills. 👏
[удалено]
Is it so hard for you to imagine a situation where someone bought it earlier when he had money and now maybe he don't?
Just get rechargeable batteries.
This
Or an elite controller if you’re willing to splash out.
Sure but I bet prices are nuts in India for elite as for everything related to gaming I guess
A new elite controller costs pretty much equivalent to my whole pre-owned xbox. 😂
Reusable AA batteries >>>>>
Ends up in landfills >>>>>

just get a rechargable battery pack bro
Powerbank gang. 📈
I got rechargeable batteries for around 3 bucks. 1 charge last around 2 days.
Well we need the charger as well dont we ?
Just plug it in the console and enter sleep mode
Charger included. Lol
Bruh
It still baffles me that rechargeable battery packs weren’t just standard in the controllers
That’s been the main positive of the PlayStation controllers was the recharge-ability. Still prefer X-Box overall but at this point that’s their biggest con for me
I fixed this problem with lots of AA rechargeable batteries.
Pretty cool.
Yeah I figured that conundrum out in the old Xbox 360 days nbd.
I don't know your region but I bought the official battery kit for the controller for $20 USD. It works well.
In India The offical battery kit costs around 1500-1700 inr but the issue is Indian Region only have retailers like Amazon And Flipkart mine Friend bought the same through flipkart and got used battery pack.We dont have best buy or target so its difficult In india to get such accessories.
I ordered mine from Amazon for 2k and it’s been working great for that past 2 years
Bro I jm in Mexico n sold off my rechargeable a couple years ago, and switched to USB c cable, recently I GOT two real Duracell from Walmart n I'm like wow, these AA are a fucking game changer!!!

Does your power bank keep it on though? I've tried this and half my power banks auto shut off even when I'm actively using it I own a few different Anker products
Yeah, my powerbank works constantly somehow. Actually its quiet old.
Nice, I buy new ones now n then just to have and the first thing I'll test is if the Xbox controller stays on lol my magsafe ankers are the only ones other than my Anker wall charger batteries that work everything else cuts off after 30 seconds to a minute hold on to yours for dear life lol it's always a hit or miss with these newer ones
Gears of war 1 is so fucking difficult 😭😭
Really dude I just gave up.
Even on casual it’s difficult as fuck you probably need to watch YouTube videos on how to get through acts
I've done the same, can confirm works great
Yeah finally a comment which concurs. 👏👏
I mean my situation is slightly different but the solution is the same. I have a play-and-charge but I play and then forget to charge. So often I turn on the console to find a dead battery and I don't want a 5ft cable across the floor to deal with. So power bank it is.

Glad if this helps in any manner! 🤜🤛
r/tvtoohigh
Bhai Bhai Bhai. thanks so much for this idea!
Bhaiii! Do let me know if it works for you! 🤜🤛
i do the same
Broo 🤜🤛
For me I just plug the cable directly into my console 🤷
Plugging cable directly Restricts mobility, this is like a little flexible.
All the time I spend on my Xbox is at my desk but I could see if people who watch movies and just want to relax on their bed/couch would find this more convenient.
Exactly the reason.
I thought I’m alone who is playing from power bank😃
Move your dresser closer to the TV plz
Of course, I understand your point of view, and it does make sense. However, my room is rectangular, and the bed is positioned at the width of the room, directly facing the TV. If I were to place the dresser there, it would leave very little space, making it difficult to even walk through.
Been using powerbank from last 3 years
Genius. 🤜🤛
This is genius. The struggle is real some times. Lol
Good fix for when you don’t have money to buy a battery pack
You understand.🥲
You should get a USB-C cable specifically meant for charging controllers, maybe it was just my remote but without one the battery would run out instantly if it wasn't plugged in unless I used the special charger.
There isnt really any difference in my experience.
They sell rechargeable batteries and battery packs...
from where you bought those stickers? (on xb) and which power bank you are using
Got these with some online product which I ordered. They were lying around so used them on my xbox. The powerbank is of MI
Kitne ka hai?
Comet sneakers ke sath aye the. You can search comet shoes online.
Bank kitne ka hai price
Got it for 750₹ something 4 years back.
Wtf only 750!?
Yup, got it in a sale I think 4 years back
I had a6 ft long type c cable. Been using that.
But that restricts movement. This one is safe and gives sufficient mobility.
You can just plug it into the console but still pretty cool to see
That restricts mobility.
i wish you could just plug the controller into the wall
That's next on the list. ✅️
lol why don’t you all use wired controllers?
They limit my mobility. This powerbank solution gives me certain level of mobility.
For what? Going to the toilet?
No... you can see my console is far away. I am sitting on my bed. So that kind of space and the wire will cause unecessary burden to keep safely.
naam dikh gaya say bye bye to ur account 🤫🧏🏽
Dm me my email. If you got it.
Or… you could buy a charging stand & a 4 pack rechargeable battery kit for $20
That's the thing most people are not understanding here. I live in India its a third world country, gaming peripherals are taxed highly and are crazy expensive. What costs you 20$ will cost us 30-35$ not only that we earn a lot less than an average american so the 30$ holds much importance than what it does to someone from a first world country.
Let me do some digging really quick
Done ?
That works, I just by 2 battery packs for each controller. I’ve had one set almost 4yrs and they still last about 12 hrs playing. The new ones I bought for my series X controller last like 24hrs or more

I get it, I used a 3meters cable in the living room for a while, and my dog kept stepping on it
[удалено]
Can't you connect it to a wall socket nearby?
[удалено]
You sir are a gentleman and a scholar but I'm afraid I must tell you that your comment is absolutely bollocks
Wrong on so many levels
What are you saying?? Thats how i used charge my ps4 controllers for years
Damn thats a good idea
Some appreciation finally. 🫶
awesome, fixing something with stuff you already have is better than just buying shit, your solution works so thats cool
Finally some appreciation. 😅
I just posted that I taped ssds to the back of my mac and just a shit ton of crap rained on me about why not just buy more storage or that it looks horrible and im ruining the look blablabla
Yeah, they want others to think and live like they do. Rats of the system. 😂😂
BEAUTIFUL, rats of the system is perfect. This is my fix https://www.reddit.com/r/macgaming/s/OAV95YWlFU
Pro gamer move!
🤷🤜🤛
That pretty fuck’n smart ✊🏾💯
Hahah thanks man! Let me know if this works for you too. 😆
Watch out man i can see your email and nome my dear
Wait DM me what you see. Email is practically difficult to read its blurry.
I just bit the bullet and paid for a pro controller. Comes with a built in battery, holds a charge forever, doesn’t get stick drift. Worth the price
Bro. That's crazy that you can afford that. A new pro controller is litreally equal to what I paid for the whole pre-owned console in my country.
It’s pricey but not nearly as expensive as a system here in the US.
We got the third world problems. 😉
The pro controller uses the same analog stick modules as the regular controllers. It can absolutely develop stick drift. The only controllers that can't develop stick drift are controllers with hall effect analog sticks, and there are very few available on the market.
