Last week, there were publications on the network that Microsoft continues to use regular AA batteries by default in its gamepads instead of rechargeable batteries due to a long-term agreement with the companies Duracell… Journalists referred to an interview with an official representative Duracell UK Luke Anderson…
“There are certain partnership agreements between Microsoft and Duracell. This is an ongoing cooperation agreement between the two parties. It has been in effect for a considerable time and nothing should change in the future,” he said.
In turn, Microsoft explained in a comment to the publication Eurogamerthat she still hasn’t given up on AA batteries in her controllers as she wants users to have additional choices.
“We suggest that consumers decide for themselves what to use in conjunction with standard Xbox Wireless Controllers. These can be regular AA batteries from any manufacturer, an Xbox rechargeable battery (sold separately – GameMAG), various charging solutions from our partners or using a USB-C cable to connect to a console or PC, “the message says.
A similar approach Microsoft contrasts with tactics Sonywhich since the times Playstation 3 manufactures all of its gamepads with internal rechargeable batteries.
