I don't use it on an XBOX anymore, I sold off my XBOX ONE X and have since started using it on my PC instead, but just like on the console it eats through batteries within 3 hours. Used Energizer MAX Lithium, Duracel.,.. the Duracel only lasted 2 hours. I don't plug in headphones either.

I was going to buy rechargable batteries but that would have cost me 30 so instead am going to sell it off with the USB dongle and I bought the 8BITDO Ultimate to replace it.

Sad because I will miss the 20th Anniversary design, it's a nice looking controller.

I got 2 2800mAh battery packs for around £22 from Amazon - they last for weeks in my series X controller, even if I play regularly. I think the series X controller is great quality and seems to go much easier on the batteries compared to the Xbox one controllers...

I use rechargeable AA batteries and last me about 2 week, then once those start to die i swap them with my previously charge set and thus the cycle continues, been doing this for 15 years Edit: with the total amount you spent on single use batteries you definitely could have got the ones that cost 30, think ahead not just for now

I use the Venom rechargable battery packs that come with a nice charging cradle. Batteries last ages between charges.

I played last night for 4 hours without issue on a controller that wasn't fully charged when i started.

I like the Xbox controllers as a whole, but controller drift occurs way to quickly.
