Summary: Long lasting batteries.
Comment: Not much I can say other than, these batteries are long lasting.
The reason why I bought these black ones is because every one of my neighbors have white controllers with white batteries, they would come home and play with my kids, next think I know, my batteries are gone, at least now I can tell who took them! ha ha!

Summary: Not necessary, but nice to have!
Comment: This rechargeable battery is a nice item to have for your console, but it is not a necessity. This is my third rechargeable battery for an XBox 360 system. The first two were white, to match my 20G premium console. I have recently upgraded to an Elite console (for the reasons mentioned in a separate review of that system) and sold the last of my 20G models. I sold the two white rechargeable batteries with the white console to make the package more attractive to the buyer. My original intention was to simply buy a pair of regular AA rechargeable batteries and a charger.
I decided to go ahead and purchase this system because I wanted to have a battery system dedicated just for the Xbox. Like most people, I have a lot of electronic items that use size AA batteries. And they almost always use up their batteries at the most inconvenient of times. I have been known to take a set of batteries from one device and use it in another device just to avoid having to run to the store. I have taken batteries from my console's controller in the past and move them to a portable audio player, for example. And then end up with no batteries for my controller when I really want to play a game.
How much charge will this battery pack hold? Not as much as a pair of regular alkaline AAs. But more than a pair of rechargeable NiMH AAs. If you factor in the cost of the Quick Charger (which is still white, by the way), along with the price of this pack, you can see that it is more than the price of a pair of rechargeable AAs and a charger. Basically, with this product, you are paying for convenience. This product will only work for your Xbox, so you are assured of always having a fresh pack available. I suggest that you purchase two. If you have children and they use your console, I definitely suggest having a spare battery charged at all times. The last thing you want is for your child to pester you to drive to the store for some fresh, disposable batteries. You see, such events rarely happen at a time that is convenient for you.

Summary: Waste of money, does not hold a charge
Comment: People - don't buy this product. It's a complete rip off for 2 reasons.
First of all, the batteries do not hold a charge at all. If you let this sit around for even just one week without using it, all the juice will be gone.
Second, it's no cheaper than standard rechargeable batteries, so why not just use those to begin with? Not only will they work better, but you can also use them with any other product. This battery pack is propietary and only works with 360 controllers. If it was insanely awesome battery time it might be worth it, but it's not, so don't waste your money!
