Not sure what to think of this except it will be interesting to see if it works as advertised(battery recharges in 60 seconds). My biggest problem with rechargeables is that over time, with ever discharge/recharge cycle, they lose a little of their max capacity/charge. So I wonder if after heavy use this thing will maintain its 10-12 hour charge times.....details below at IGN

CES 2016: Charge an Xbox One Controller in Under 60 Seconds with PDP's Super Charger

60 seconds of charge for 10-12 hours of gameplay.

IGN

Accessory maker Performance Designed Products (PDP) is coming out with a quick charger, called Super Charger, for the Xbox One controller. The Super Charger will be able to fully charge your Xbox One controller in under 60 seconds, which is a first for the video game industry, claims PDP. One full charge will provide 10-12 hours of gameplay.

“The Super Charger's unique ability to recharge the Xbox One controller in just seconds reduces interruption in game play sessions – a full recharge during a quick break provides convenience to all gamers,” says PDP chief technology officer Tom Roberts.

Details about the Super Charger are still scarce, so we don’t know pricing or availability as of yet. We'll update this post with more information when available. Stay tuned as we’ll be going hands on with the Super Charger at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show next week.

With which compatible batteries will no doubt be needed. Curious to see if these claims will be substantiated, but probably another gimmick I would think. Why gamers would need that facility over the simple task of swapping out batteries in what, 30 seconds or so. Be interesting to find out what the power draw of the unit is.
