Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ Efficient Charging Solution: Nyko Charge Base S for Xbox 360 - 2 Port Controller Charger with 2 Rechargeable Batteries by Joshua Johnson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Barely charged, fits chargers

Charger looks good. I like the additional (hidden) USB charging feature on the front, although I've never tried it. I like that the controllers are in a stand and are held by gravity. Unfortunately, I don't think the batteries are properly connected to the charging pins on the bottom. Every time I tried to use this charger, I would struggle or squirm and move to turn on the front light to register the charge. At one point I just assumed that the lack of light could mean it was charged, but that's not the case with apparently dead batteries. I chose to ignore the lights and just turned on the controllers for the night. After several tests like this, I found that the batteries never charged properly. I was getting a low battery warning on controllers 5-30 minutes after unplugging them from the charger. I sent this device back and decided to use something else for battery packs for my controllers. Give it a try, I'd recommend seeing if the charge lights are working properly and noting the play time (before the low battery warning) you get after you take it out of the charger.

Pros
  • Plugs into any outlet for a quick charge
Cons
  • Easily torn
