Summary: Pink's Dead On Arrival 2010-03-02
Comment: My wife ordered one of these pink rechargeable packs for our Xbox 360 controller. We already have the Play-and-Charge kit for two white battery packs that work perfect and we attempted to use it to charge the pink one. It would not charge at all as it would read as a full charge on the play-and-charge cable. Once the cable was removed the controller would shut down in a mater of seconds.
We reported this to Amazon and they sent another pink battery pack to replace it. The new one performed just as well. Did not hold a charge. We sent it back as well and received a refund.
I believe the pink batteries may be just a bad batch or they are too old to work properly anymore. They were initially made for the Pink Wireless Controller released back in October of 2007 and are now out of print. It's possible that laying dormant for so long that they don't work anymore.

Summary: Eventually opted for rechargeable AA's 2010-02-17
Comment: So I game regularly, sometimes 2-3 hours a day, and it got really expensive really fast to keep buying disposable batteries. Then I saw these battery packs taylored to fit my needs, and so I decided to try it out.
My first impressions showed me that it fit the controller well, snaps right in and out very easily, and it has no difference in appearance from the included battery pack shell. I plugged it into it's charger, and the little indicator light turned on to tell me that it had begun charging. 7 hours later, the light changed. To be honest, that's a long time to wait for anything, but like I said before, this is to save money. I snapped it into the controller and began playing.
Over the next few days, I noticed that the controller has trouble telling how much juice is left in the battery pack. It would occasionally tell me the battery was low, but it would go away with time. I myself timed the charge to last about 22 hours, not bad for the little guy. But as soon as it went out, I realized I would have to stop play and pretty much wait the 7 hours for the the packto charge again. This quickly became a huge inconvenience. I eventually purchased a play and charge kit to quell this problem, but after only a few months of play, I noticed the batterykfe depletion. It went down about an hour lower after a couple of months, and never required less time to charge or anything.
Then, it hit me. Why had I invested so much into use-specific batteries that weren't really working out when I couldve paid less to just get rechargeable batteries that I could use for many things? The simple answer, is that there is no good answer. I chunked all my battery packs, charger, and play and charge kit, and bought myself a universal battery charger. I can honestly say, that I couldn't have made a better choice. The depletion of life is less noticeable, and they charge much quicker depending on which charger you get. And it's cheaper, so I always have a charged pair lying around anyway.
All in all, I give them 3/5 stars for being cool and convenient, but ultimately price and charge times hurt their Appeal too much. Invest a little more now and get a nice charger, and save yourself some dough in the longrun.
