Venom Xbox 360 Twin Docking Station with 2 x Rechargeable Battery Packs (Xbox 360)

I very rarely do reviews on amazon (although I should do more) but I thought now would be a great time to start.I needed a new battery pack for one of my controllers, after a lot of looking the best price for one was around £6. Then I stumbled upon this.When you take into consideration that the whole package is only £11 and the technology and ease of use it has it is an absolute bargain!The package came on time and after opening it, it was a case of simply plugging it in. From there the xbox controllers sit snuggly in the unit. Its safe to say that if you were to put just the battery pack directly into the cradle it is slightly more difficult. But if you have two controllers you shouldn't really need to do this. Quality is of a standard you would expect for the price and other reviews detailing the lights been so bright are correct, although a minor flaw again which can be easily resolved by applying common sense.The whole cradle looks neat and tidy and it has a long enough cable to connect to which ever device you like. Also bare in mind it is a USB connection but if, like me and every other person in the world, you have a phone then you can use the plug off that charger to plug directly into a mains socket. Another thing to note although again not really significant is that the battery packs do weigh slightly more than the standard ones but are of a high quality and fit well within the controllers.The actual charging time is quick and charges do last quite a significant amount of time so no worries there.Overall I couldn't be happier with this product and can't recommend it highly enough.When you take into account that included are two battery packs and charging cradle, there simply is no better alternative to charging your controllers.

I have had several official Xbox chargers over the years and there has always been a problem or quirk when charging them. For example my last one would say it was fully charged as soon as the Xbox was turned off, so could only be charged while playing. The two previous ones had different issues. This, has none.I have it plugged in to my Xbox through USB (it comes with no mains adaptor which would have been nice) and it charges even when the Xbox is turned off (through my Slim at least) so it is just a case of putting the controller back in the dock when I go to bed. It only takes a few hours to charge up and of course if the battery runs out there is always the spare.The only downside is that the packs don't charge properly unless there is some sort of pressure on them. So if you don't have two controllers to put them in, you will have to put a weight of some kind on the spare battery to charge it. I do have a spare Xbox controller for it so it isn't a problem. When I was testing it out though it didn't need much pressure. I rested my PS3 controller on top of it and that did the trick. So not really a problem, just a slight inconvenience.So overall a fantastic product and one I couldn't recommend highly enough if like me, you hit the Xbox pretty hard most days.

It fits anywhere because it’s slim and compact. Charges the controllers quickly, so you never run out of juice while playing.

After years of forking out for new batterys every few weeks, I finally got around to ordering some rechargable ones, and at this price I couldn't really go wrong. Postage was prompt and the box in which the cradel came was suprisingly good quality- both strong and sturdy. After a 2 minute set-up my controllers were charging and in two hours they were ready to go. Quick and simple.The only down sides that I can see, and the reason I dropped it a star was the build quality. At £15, I never expected it to be brilliant, but it does the job even if it does feel a bit flimsy and plasticy. After all, it is the controllers I throw against the wall, not the cradle! The other minor issue is the fact that even though the controllers read as fully charged for hours, if I remove them from the cradle for even a second, without turning them on, when they are replaced the cradle spends 10 more minuets charging them. This doesn't change the fact that the controllers have always been fully charged every time I have wanted to use them, but it does make it hard to completely know if the controllers do indeed need charging.Overall, a good product at a great price and does everything that you need it to do!

As someone who still games with the Xbox 360 despite the marketplace shutdown. I was a little tired of using batteries all the time.When I seen this I thought I'd give it a shot. Impressive, charges quickly & charge lasts a long time.I recommend.

Was bought to replace an identical unit which gave up the ghost after 9 years. Very impressed with the original unit performance and durability. The new unit has only been charged twice and no longer works. I have emailed twice to request support but not received any reply. Wouldn’t recommend.😡

Being able to charge 2 controllers simultaneously is a game changer! Charge 1 and play with another and never have to use a wired controller again.The indicator LEDs are super bright and the batteries charge in no time at all. The cable is super long at about 2m in length so there is no trouble in being able to connect it whenever the console may be. The rubber feet on the bottom prevent the charging dock from unexpectedly sliding around.Absolutely recommend to anyone looking to still play on the Xbox 360 as the official batteries and chargers are nowhere near in quality and bank for your buck!

My original docking station batteries were past their best so I bought this set as its the same company that I have a docking station from for my Xbox1. So far it's performing as expected and looks smart too. Well worth the money. Edit: unfortunately I had to return it and had it replaced after a fortnight and now the replacement has failed too, in both cases the base unit fails to charge but the batteries are fine so I'll use my old 'tree charger' to charge the new batteries.
