Xbox 360 Power Charger Combo (Charge Station, Power Kit)

I picked this combo power kit because it was the deal of the day and I thought it'd be a descent performer considering the cost... Well I should have just put down the extra 10 bucks to get the Official Microsoft quick charge kit because the batteries are made of a casing design that is too large for the controller that I think it may have created a crack on one my controller because the batteries have to be placed in so tight. Additionally, the charger dock does not allow for charging of the official microsoft batteries unless extra pressure is placed on top so that the metal connectors touch (this is probably due to the oversided nature of the nyko kit).

I would advise anyone, unfortunately, pay the extra money for the official charge kit or use generic AA rechargable batteries instead of this harmful product. For me, the batteries and charge station is in the trash, but I'm keeping the play and charge cord piece - i hope that'll work right.

The Nyko batteries are larger than the standard Microsoft Xbox 360 Controller batteries. They need to be forced into the Xbox controllers or into the Microsoft Quick Charge Kit. Since the batteries are larger, they don't always make contact with the charging units/controllers. This is probably the problem that other people have experienced when they claim the Nyko batteries are defective.

If you don't mind using some force to jam these batteries into your controller, then maybe this product is for you. Just keep in mind you get what you pay for. The Xbox 360 Quick Charge Kit is just a far superior product.

I bought this kit about 1 1/2 years ago and it's great. Don't remember how much I paid. No problems. We still use it today. The batterys fit in all my controller with no problems. I just bought an elite and the batteries work in it. I'm shocked by the other reviews. Maybe they had a bad batch. I would buy this product again if I needed another one.
