4.0 out of 5 stars Good product but difficult to get working at first..., November 27, 2006

This review is from: Xbox 360 Charge Station (Video Game)

As many other people have posted who have reviewed this... there seems to be a problem out of the box with these. When first plugged in the 2 batteries showed up as instantly charged. However, when trying to use them they didn't work. I used my play & charge kit to try connecting and charging the batteries that way. They showed up as dead and began charging, only for the light on the cable to turn green after about 30 seconds (meaning fully charged). I then removed the batteries from the controller and plugged them into the Nyko charger again. 2 hours later, I have 2 completely fully charged batteries. I used the charger to charge my Microsoft battery and have not had any problems. For some reason the batteries had to be 'initialized' in a sense, but once I did this there hasn't been a problem. If you don't have a separate charger I guess you are out of luck but if you do then perhaps you can try my method. Otherwise, for the ease of mind feel free to spend the extra 10 bucks.

"Oh man, 2 batteries and 8 bucks cheaper!" I thought.... just spend the extra money and get the microsoft one. After fiddling with it for 10 min, one of the batteries finally started to charge, but I had to remove it and put it back on twice before it fully charged. The other battery never would charge.

I picked this up hoping it would be on par with the Microsoft Charging Station. Not even close! The first one I got would not light up or charge a thing. Exchanged it for a new one. This one would flicker on, but then turn off and not charge the batteries at all. I gave up after two tries. Spend the extra cash for the Microsoft one, it is much more reliable.
