Honestly, it's better to buy rechargeable AA batteries and swap them around as you need them. They're cheaper and can be used for various other purposes. I've been doing since I had the Wii and the 360, and the proprietary batteries would never perform or hold a charge as well as the AAs.
I have different brand 1200 and it lasts me for days I play 3 hours a day

You're going to have to charge or swap these like crazy. I use 2000mAh and they'll maybe last a day of gaming.

I think this will work for me fine. I don't intend to waste my whole day just playing. I only play an average of 4-5 hours and that is not even everyday gaming.

I believe you get more mAh from these packs, but my electrical knowledge isn't amazing. Using two 2500 mAh rechargeables in series doesn't give you 5000 mAh of use.

I *think* if they were in parallel you'd get the increased capacity.

I do not need the charging cable and my controller is black so I ordered the Rocketfish battery (black) for $4.99 (50% off): https://www.bestbuy.com/site/rock...Id=6405325

Rated capacity is about 30% compared to a pair of rechargeable Eneloops.

I agree. I have a set of 4 Tenergy Lithium AA batteries that I have used since early 2019 (I got a SlickDeal on these for $12 with the charger, and they last at least 15 hours, even after dozens of recharges. Unfortunately, even with the "Cyber Monday" discount, it looks like these are more expensive now: https://www.amazon.com/TENAVOLTS-Rechargeable-Batteries-rechargeable-electrical/dp/B07HQ7QV7W [amazon.com]/

The only issue with the Lithium rechargeable batteries is that they provide "too" consistent voltage levels until they're out of power, so the standard Xbox battery monitoring doesn't provide a warning when they're low on power (not a real problem, as it takes just seconds to switch out the batteries on the rare occassion that I forget to recharge them around once per week). Of course, standard NiMH rechargeable AA's are much cheaper and work well, too. I'd recommend either over these proprietary battery packs based on cost, convenience, and power provided.
