Ok but the last charger didn't work right away

I have three of these chargers, last time I bought the base unit it was broken, brand new, and the LEDs just keep flashing. I would give the original two devices 5 stars, they charge great and give you over 12 hours of playtime on each battery. The new division needs better control. Since I always needed extra batteries for additional controllers, I did not return the charging station. However it is very disappointing to have a new defective item in the box which is why I have downgraded theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Batteries and chargers
Cons
  • Long time

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, butโ€ฆ

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

Works well and loads fairly quickly.

Works great. Very quick setup. charges very quickly. The light will let you know when charging is complete. You can charge two controllers or just one. The charging time is pretty fast when fully charged. I bought this for my 8 year old grandson who has a birthday in early December and got a new wireless controller and this charger. . He takes good care of his gear and uses his charger frequently. He brings the charger back and forth from my house, to his father's house, to his mother's houseโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Dual port charging station charges both controllers at the same time
Cons
  • Clarity

I bought two of these batteries and neither worked immediately after purchase. I have found that the batteries charge very well when inserted directly into the base without a controller. But when you put the batteries in the controller and plugged the controller into the base, it didn't charge at all. I managed to solve the problem so I decided to leave it and give it three stars. Otherwise it would have been 5 stars. It turns out there are pins on the base that mate with metal pads on theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Two special NiMH rechargeable batteries provide up to 20 hours of playback.
Cons
  • Null

Best of 2 Nyko charging stations

There seem to be 2 types of Nyko charging stations. It is better. This one doesn't have an indicator light on the outside, but when you put batteries in, the lights come on. The other only has a green/red/off light system and is an older product. The batteries are universal and will work with the new charging station. This one is better because the indicator lights have 3 levels to show you the battery level, but it always seems to start with the lowest battery level. It also has a USB port onโ€ฆ

Pros
  • LED indicators clearly show when charging is complete
Cons
  • Some disadvantages
