Xbox 360 Black Play & Charge Kit - Battery and Charging cable.

When I first received the item, the battery charged fine, but seemed to die very quickly. After only three or four hours, the battery would go from fully charged to completely dead. My wife told me to return it, but I figured it'd be fine, as I don't generally play longer than the battery lasts, and I can just remember to plug it in between gaming sessions.

Just today, though, I've discovered that the battery is completely dead. Not only will it not hold a charge, it doesn't even register on my Quick Charge unit. I've been outside of the return period for a couple of weeks, and it was working fine a few days ago. The cable still works fine, but as I bought this mainly for the battery, I'd recommend avoiding the whole package.

The charging cable for the kit looks and works great.

The problem I find with the kit is the battery. After having a complete charge, it only lasts around 6 to 8 hours. The battery also doesn't sit flush in the battery compartment. In other words the seams don't match up when the battery snaps in. This is of course just a cosmetic flaw

Stay away from this product. Battery is completely useless and will not charge. I didn't get around to opening item for a while, so I guess I'm stuck with useless product.
