5.0 out of 5 stars Best charger out there, December 9, 2008

I bought this charger from Amazon, when I opened I was surprised with the quality that I saw from the begging.

I am a casual gamer and don't use my controller to the limit, and I was getting good times with AA batteries. But I wanted rechargeable batteries. And this was the best option out there.

The base have a great design (your controller always finish in the right position when you drop it), the batteries fit like normal ones in the controller, the charge time is good and it keeps your controller in a good place.

PROs

Price - Maybe the best value of the market
2 Batteries included
Your controllers charge when you are not using them
25 hours of battery life (I am getting 30+)
Led indicators of the charge

Negative
The led are too bright, is like a flashlight. They will turn off when the charge is finished, but if you have the charger in your room, like me, it will bother you.

I recommend this charger to everyone

TIP: I normally play for 3 or 4 hours, and put the controller back in the charger. If you are like me, once a month, disconnect the charge base and play until the batteries are fully discharged. this will be helpful for your batteries life.

I waited to write this review until I had used the product for two weeks. I had planned to order a different charging unit till I saw this one. Prviously I had used a microsoft charger, but I was unhappy with its performance and the constant swapping of batteries. So far I am in love with this unit. Sure, the battery must be attached to the charger, you can't have the headphones plugged in and the lights are bright, but the super quick cgarging time and convenience make it worth it! So far the batteries have lasted through even my longest HALO 3 sessions. I liked it so much I immediately bought another for my buddy and he reports zero issues with his as well.

If you want a new speedy charger look no further. This is the unit you need!

Xbox 360 Charge Base
This is an awsome charge base with two charge packs. It is true that you have to use they're charge packs. It is also true that I have not had this charge base too long, but I absolutley love it. It is a great place to store your controller or controllers. The controller fits snugly in the charge base. Also, the lights in front of the charge base light up the color red when the pack is charging. When the pack is charged the light turns green. When the pack is fully charged, the light turns off.
I use my controller for the xbox 360 and the computer. When ever I set the controller down, I usually set it on the base and it continues to charge. Great Product.
