Energizer Power & Play Charging System (Xbox 360)

See all products

Add to my list Product summary

The good: Fairly compact, vertical design; charges up to two Xbox 360 controllers at once.

The bad: Could be a few bucks cheaper; weighted stand would make it easier to dock and undock controllers; doesn't present a significant advantage over Microsoft's similarly priced Xbox 360 Quick Charge Kit.

The bottom line: If you're looking for a convenient way to charge a couple of Xbox 360 wireless controls at the same time, the Xbox 360 Energizer Power & Play Charging System is a reasonable option--though it's not the only one.

CNET editors' review

  • Reviewed on: 10/24/2008
  • Released on: 10/15/2008

Performance Design Products, which is simply known as PDP, recently licensed the Energizer brand to slap on its line of Power & Play Charging Systems for the Sony PS3, Microsoft Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii.

The model reviewed here, the Energizer Power & Play Charging System for Xbox 360, looks very similar to the PlayStation 3 version, but it's missing the extra USB ports for charging additional electronics devices and game controllers. That means the Xbox 360 system will only charge two Xbox 360 wireless controllers at a time.

The charging stand comes with a compact AC adapter that plugs into any wall outlet. Plug a controller into one of the docks--the Power & Play System has two plugs to match the proprietary port on the Xbox 360 controller's topside--and it begins to charge. The plastic piece that holds the controller in place glows red to indicate your controller is charging, then turns green when it's fully charged. It takes about 2.5 hours to charge either single or multiple controllers.
