Per Razer support, [razer.com] the battery is only 1,100mAh. For comparison, a pair of regular eneloops [panasonic.com] in parallel is 1,900-2,000mAh and a pair of Pros [panasonic.com] is 2,450-2,500mAh. It's pretty common for play and charge kits like this to use smaller batteries with the assumption they only need to last one "normal" session. Worth mentioning:
- Every charge cycle contributes to the degradation of a rechargeable battery. Charging a battery after every session results is more charge cycles than charging a battery when it has been drained.
- Charge and play kits are only compatible with a specific controller model. Every time you upgrade, you have to buy a new one.
So this already-small battery will degrade more quickly than a larger battery you charge less often.Any high-quality rechargeable AA set seems like a better overall deal to me. I've been using some of the same eneloops in all my Xbox controllers since my original One console (started using Pros a few years ago). I have four batteries for each controller (I do a bunch of couch co-op with friends). When I get the low battery notification for one, I swap out the charged pair, put the dead pair on a charger at some point, then return them to the drawer.
Thanks. I am already invested in the Best Buy/Insignia batteries. I have the charger the plugs into the front USB on the Xbox One S and a half dozen batteries so I always have two charging.

EDIT: Now that I've seen the charging mechanism, I realize it's definitely impossible.
It drops to this price quite frequently. I have bought two at this price recently.
Perhaps you just aren't making it in time before that model gets pulled? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And/Or make a list and put it in there to "watch". I have seen it at $19 maybe four or five times in the last couple of months? I know because I keep having to tell myself I don't need more.
Good luck!!!

I think in my case, the main drawback was only having the 1 battery pack. Once it dies, you either stop playing to recharge, transition to a play and charge kit (which is an entirely separate product) or end up using double A's to let the pack recharge anyways.
The high cap rechargeable double A's last so much longer, once you go that route it's hard to go back.
You can also find stands for the controller on eBay and etsy that are similar aesthetically to these razer ones if you just want that. A lot of 3d printed solutions out there as far as stands/holders.
