Hi can anyone recommend me a good quality rechargeable battery pack for my Xbox One Controller?
Im connecting to PC via bluetooth and it chows batteries quite fast
 
Don't know if the One is different to the 360, but on the 360, I just used normal Energiser rechargeable AA batteries. I read somewhere that they don't recommend using rechargeable batteries, but that made no difference at all to me. Rechargeables worked just fine, and way cheaper than constantly buying new batteries.
 
Bought mine at Musica.
Can be charged via the USB port.
Was R530, but have seen it about R50 cheaper at other shops.

yes..

The only bad batteries I've ever had were fake official ms ones I got from incredible connection for my previous xb controller.
Same actually :-). I got some odd ones from Takealot that only work on the older controller. Which is fine as I've got two of those for my old Xbox One.
 
Imo the battery you get in the play and charge kit is really poor quality (endurance wise). For similar money you can get a set of Energizer or Duracell rechargeables with the charger and that way you always have charged batteries ready to pop in.

If you're willing to spend a couple hundred more, get a good set of Eneloop's off Amazon. Amazing endurance - got mine about two years ago and going strong.
