No Batteries? You’ll Be Fine: Xbox Series X or S Controllers

Quick guide about how to use the Xbox series X|S controller without batteries.

Are the Batteries That Come With Xbox Series X Rechargeable?

So you bought a new Xbox Series X or S Console. Both consoles come with a wireless controller with non-rechargeable AA LR6 Alkaline Batteries. The non-rechargeable battery will die and not last long, and you need to replace it with new AA Batteries.

Use Rechargeable Batteries:

You can also use rechargeable Batteries for your Xbox controller, but you need to buy them separately, and the drawback of these rechargeable batteries is that they will not charge in the controller. So again, it would be best if you had Rechargeable Batteries with a charger.

Use Play & Charge Kit:

This kit comes with Xbox Rechargeable Battery and USB-C Cable.
This Xbox Rechargeable Battery can recharge while playing or afterward, even when your Xbox is on standby.
These works for both XBOX Series X and XBOX Series S Controllers.
