Does Microsoft still make Re-chargeable Batteries?

I can't find them anywhere. I see they sell the Charger with a battery but I can't find just the batteries.
(controller batteries)

I don't understand why Microsoft didn't include one of those charging cables with the system. I'm sorry but I don't like the fact that I had to go out and spend money on something that should have been included with the system.

The way I see it, you spend $15 or so to save you hundreds on batteries down the road. Before I got one of those kits the controller sucked down batteries like Lindsay Lohan sucks down Diet Red Bull and Vodka.

Yeah, and the Wii is the same way (except Nintendo doesn't offer a rechargeable solution, which sucks even worse). MS must just sell the batteries themselves though, i could have sworn I've seen them before.

I remember the media slamming Sony for their decision to include a internal battery and praising Microsoft for giving us choices.

I still don't like the non-removable batteries though...At least when my MS rechargeable dies I can buy a new battery, with Sony you have to buy a new controller.

I've never heard of anyone's PS3 controller dying on them. I'm sure it happens but it has to be rare as it's never mentioned.
