I have this:
Microsoft Xbox 360 Quick Charge Kit- $30

http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/Prod...oduct_id=43321

- It's always worked well. It came with a rechargeable battery and I bought an extra rechargeable battery for $12 bucks. But the other week one of them finally died on me (after about a year of use) which I thought was a good deal and wasn't surprised it died.

But now with new accessories for the 360's controller I've seen other rechargeable kits that interest me and may be better than the one I have. Do you own any of these? If so for how long and how well do they do?

- This one seems to be really popular, never used it but it seems when your battery is low you just plug it into the USB slot of your Xbox and let your Xbox charge it while you continue to play, very very effective and I could see myself using it. Costs only $8 more then a standard 360 rechargeable battery too. Only downside is if you use it you have to unplug your headset to use this thing.

- New to me. You can plug it into the wall to charge or your 360 apparently. My only concern is it's made by Nyko. The same company that made those intercooler kits for your 360 and I've only read bad things about them like they fried their 360 using these kits.

The best one to me in the Play & Charge kit. The first one you posted (quick charge kit), in my opinion isn't that good. My friend has it and always complains about it. I've never heard or seen of the last one until now, must be new, could be alright. But ya, go with the Play & Charge kit.
