From now on, Xbox 360 users can extend their playtime as Nyko has provided them with solutions for charging their wireless controller.

Nyko Technologies has decided to help Xbox players who get irritated when their play time is interrupted by batteries shortage. The company released
the Charge Station 360 and Power Kit 360.
The Charge Station 360 consists of a dual-port battery charging cradle and two rechargeable battery packs. Because the batteries can be simultaneously charged in the cradle, gamers will be able to "revive" a drained wireless controller in just a few seconds. No USB is required for the Charge Station 360 as it can be plugged in the output directly.
Each battery will provide up to 25 hours of play time for each Xbox controller.

The Power Kit 360 seems more interesting as it can be used to charge controllers while playing. It consists of a NiMH rechargeable battery pack and a charging cable. But this system also has its downsides as it requires to be plugged in the Xbox's USB port. The charging cable goes in the USB port and once the batteries are fully charged, you can play wirelessly. This system will also provide up to 25 hours of playtime.
