This dock charges two Xbox controllers side by side and uses PowerA's rechargeable battery packs, which replace the standard battery door. It is designed for Xbox Series X|S controllers and is also commonly used with compatible Xbox One controllers. Check the current listing for exactly which battery packs and doors are included in the version you order, as pack contents vary between revisions.
It removes the low-battery scramble and gives controllers a defined home at the end of a session.
Xbox households who want controllers charged in one visible place instead of hunting for batteries.
It works with PowerA's battery pack system rather than charging a controller's own internal cells, and it does not manage play time in any way.
