Power your Xbox One controller w/ the AmazonBasics $12 Charger (Reg. $20)

$12

Amazon offers its AmazonBasics Xbox One Controller Battery Charger for $12.26 Prime shipped. For comparison, it typically sells for around $20 and has previously gone as low as $11.50. This nifty add-on for Xbox One brings a controller battery pack charger to your console, making it easy to juice up your gear when not in use. It even has a USB pass-through port with power and data transfer, so you’re not giving up precious I/O. Ships with a one-year warranty. Rated 4.4/5 stars.

Today’s $12 price tag is about as good as it gets for Xbox One controller recharging systems. The official Play and Charge kit sells for $24 and PowerA offers its own alternative for $15. No matter, a rechargeable battery pack for your Xbox One controller is a must. If you want to really take it to the next-level, go for Panasonic’s eneloop rechargeable batteries. This is my preferred route for keeping gaming gear powered up.
