Xbox 360 Controller Charger?

by mg123456 - 1/10/09 5:11 PM

I have a black xbox 360 elite so naturally all four of my controllers are black I used to use rechargeable batteries but I want to get a product that charges the controllers any ideas? I want it to be black in order to match and I want it to plug into a wall outlet.

Any products??

Well, all there really is is Microsoft's Play and Charge kit, which charges a battery pack via the USB ports on the console. If you're just using standard rechargeable batteries instead of disposable ones, just get any standard battery charger for AA batteries that plugs into a wall outlet.

i would rather have something that plugs into a wall outlet and something that looks good storing the controllers as well so the play and charge kit is not really for me

I don't think

I don't think such a thing exists then. I suppose you could probably find some USB to AC outlet adapter, but I don't know that I'd recommend it. From what I can gather, the 360 uses the communication abilities of USB to tell when the battery pack is fully charged.

So, I guess I'd just keep a spare set of batteries for each controller in your case. The play and charge kit is the only option available that I'm aware of.

Nyko has a charging station that houses two controllers and charges them from household current. Problem is, I haven't seen then in the Elite black either. I am also searching for the same as you and hope to find one soon. I left a message with Nyko about making an Elite version of their dual controller charging station. Check out the white one at http://www.nyko.com/nyko/products/?i=132 BUT, you could mod it yourself too...hmm...
