About the Play and Charge Kit

BadMotherDuck · 24-10-2005, 12:49 AM

The Play and Charge Kite comes with one rechargeable battery and a charger unit. Is one of the charger units able to charge more than just one battery at the same time or do you need one for each battery?

I believe it comes with 2 batteries included in the battery pack. So you'll only need to buy the kit, and you're all set. Got this from the official site.

Features:

* Play and Charge Cable enables continuous game play
* More than 30 hours of play per charge
* Battery fuel gauge through the Xbox 360 dashboard
* Includes Play and Charge Cable and NiMH rechargeable battery pack

Hope that helps.

My advice to you is to forget that thing and buy 4 rechargable batteries and a charger...

Much easier and more efficient.

I second ace2Cloud's advice. The battery that comes with the kit is probably not the best quality. Check out this thread. http://forums.planetxbox360.com/xbox...r-battery.html

I've got a set of rechargeables for my digital camera. So I'm set, but the plug and play kit is pretty handy for those on a budget. Plus you can hook your battery pack up to your USB port on your computer, and charge it up that way.

In your opinion which is more efficent or better?

I agree with getting rechargable batteries. You can buy specific batteries that hold a larger charge, especially in electronic equipement, better than a standard rechargeable battery. I wouldn't be surprise if this batteries hold a better charge than the plug and play kit.

i think it is much better to go with the kit, so when your bat runs out, plug and play, not pause, rummage around, 3 hours later you can play again.

It only comes with on erechargable battery for the play and charge. I think its sort of a waste in a sense.

don't you have to have a speical kind of batterie for the controller or can you use AA?

Jay2984 · 29-10-2005, 11:53 AM

Yeah it does come with just one rechargable battery pack, I went ahead and ordered one just to see how i like it, if i dont ill just use the recharge kit i have for my digital camera.

I think there will be loads of charger upgrades so you can play 40 minutes
per charge or battery upgrades ect.

Yes, I was going to buy rechargeable batteries and a recharger, but then I remembered this, and the ability to play while charging rather than having to wait half an hour to play again won over.

I think the play and charge kit is way to go I ordered it also. After all it is specifically designed for the 360 and you can be charging and playing at the same time.
