XBOX 360 Rechargable Batteries

Okay I am tired of constantly buying new batteries for the kids XBOX 360. Can anyone give me some insight on the rechargeable batteries and the charger? Are there multiple options etc?

No it's not, it's a charger to charge the rechargeable battery packs for the controllers. If I remember correctly mine didn't come with batteries either, I had to but the battery packs separately.

I think it's obvious looking at the picture that the whole thing is not a battery. It comes with one rechargeable battery pack. A second battery pack can be bought separately.

You're wasting your money on the official xbox battery charger. For the same price I got an Energizer Charger plus 4 AA rechargeable batteries for the same price. You can use the batteries for anything plus buy more batteries for any other electronics you might have.

Yeah, I would have thought it was too, but he asked the question AFTER you posted the link. I just wanted to clear up that it isn't an actual battery pack.
