PowerA Charging Station with Elite Door for Xbox One- Black

Disclaimer: These are my own personal opinions, I was not paid or endorsed for this review. Any Pictures/Media used in this review are my own during the unpacking the day I received the product.This charging station is awesome! It works exactly as described as long as you follow the instructions that are included, but it is pretty easy to figure it out by yourself as well. It's super simple to charge. Glows red while charging and turns green when fully charged. It also quickly flashes green when you plug it in so you'll definitely know if it's working or not. It came with everything needed including: the instructions, one (1) station, one (1) power cord that plugs in, two (2) battery packs, two (2) specialized back covers to make charging as simple as putting your controller on the station without having to remove your cover every time. It was also super affordable compared to some of the copycats I've seen around Amazon.The only small problems I had were 1) that sometimes the station won't register your charger if the battery is just slightly off to the side, so you'll have to pay attention to the light to make sure your controller is actually on and 2) sometimes if you don't press hard enough, the storage part won't click into place to charge or pop up. But those are small details that comes more with learning how the device works rather than the device itself.All in all, this is a great product and I am so excited to use it. I am planning on purchasing a couple more controllers in the future so I'll definitely be purchasing another one of these to charge and store them all simultaneously.

works good

Looks great and works perfectly.It is sleek, sexy, and functional. The battery packs last for a really long time... much longer than you will ever be gaming for a continuous period of time. I have read that there are a few charging solutions with longer lasting batteries, but these last more than long enough. None of the charging kits with higher capacity batteries looked nearly as nice as this dock.I like how you can choose to charge your controller on the dock, or just store it on there without charging if the battery is already charged. It would be nice to eventually have a charging dock which could just sense when the battery is full and stop charging on it's own. This one has a light to indicate once the battery is full, then you simply push down on the controller and switch it out of the charging position.Some people have complained that it is sometimes tricky to get your controller in the right position to start charging, but I have not experienced this issue at all.

Power A battery levels are never full even when fully charged. But I honestly don’t have much issue with it, but I know this could be an issue for some people which is why I’m giving it a 4 star review. My batteries charge pretty fast and last for at least 15ish hours. Keep in mind I have a wireless headset, so if you have a plug in headset, your playtime may be shorter. I like the convenience of not having to be plugged in to a play and charge cable. And I can literally swap remotes each time one of my batteries is dying. My last power A station lasted almost 2 years, I got that one in GameStop. I did notice this one look a little different, I’m not sure if it’s cause they changed the look a little. But nonetheless this one works great too. I’d buy again.

Very easy set up, very easy to use, and works great. We had one of these before and it worked fine for years until a dog bowl full of water was dumped on it. And even then one side continued to work. And I'm talking about a bowl like the biggest size mixing bowl you have in your home, filled to the brim. I was sure the charging station was going to be fried and to my surprise, one side still functioned fine. This charging station is definitely worth getting and will hold up for years to come!

I'm not joking, it's been 5 years and this thing still works perfectly... Well, not perfectly, it has a small connection issue on one side, where you have to wiggle the controller until it's pressed to the charger snugly. I've got this thing for my boyfriend's bd when we just started dating and he used to buy batteries every month just for the controller. We are long married now and still laugh about this gift haha :DSeriously, buy it :D

Product was about what I expected given the low cost. Product works fine but appears to be made of the cheapest materials. Thin plastic, wire etc. Charges as it should however the indicator lights do not seem to work properly. An inexpensive product that works “good enough”

I've been using the single version of this charging station for about a year and love it. Over that time, I've picked up a few more controllers so I wanted to get another charging station to accommodate those new controllers, so I decided to pick this one up. Overall, it's a great charging station. I really like the color strips at the bottom that let you know when your controller is charging by displaying a red light which changes to a green light when it's finished. That being said, the controller doesn't always sit perfectly when you first set it down, so make sure to look for that charging light, otherwise you're just using the station as a place to set your controller. It does feel a little cheap, it's very light and the plastic seems thin, but I don't see that being an issue. I haven't done any testing on how long a fully charged battery will last because I don't do a ton of long session gaming. I also can't speak to it's compatibility with an Elite controller in any manner other than that's what it says on the box.
