Wireless Controller Batteries?

What are the best battery types/brands for the Xbox controller? Mine dies a lot.

And is the rechargeable set worth the money? Or is it just as good to use normal rechargeable batteries?

buy a rechargable one lol. the official microsoft rechargeable battery pack.

dont buy third party ones. sure they're cheap, but they die fast. ive had my microsoft one for almost 2 years now. still working and alive.

Get the official Mircosoft play and charge pack. I have two wireless controllers and I don't like always having to put AA batteries in the other controller because I currently only have one play and charge kit. I'm hoping that I'll get another one as a birthday gift this month. But for now, I have a HUGE pack of AA batteries.

i got a nyko battery charger and 2 microsoft batteries, i always have 2 on the charger and two in da controller, the microsoft one does last longer but the nyko can last a good bit, i can tell you that if you have a one of those halo controllers the nyko brand batteries will not work in it, but any other controller it will which is weird but if you strapped for cash go with the nyko but if your not get the microsoft one, they are definatly worth it
