Advantages: Great longevity Disadvantages: Awkward and annoying
, this can be highly annoying when your half way through a game. Sometimes the battery does not even have to come off to wreck your fun, one wiggle too many and its shut down city.
There is only one real plus in my mind, and it's a big one; the time a battery will now last you. Double the size will give you double the play length, or so I assumed. I was most impressed when in fact I discovered that on average I get about 12 hours game play from a single charge; this makes all the difference when your really into an exciting game.
Charge time of the battery depends on how close to flat lining the battery is, but on average 3 hours gives the battery a full charge from being practically flat.
Is the powermaster worth the £14 -£20 you can pay for it (incidentally I purchased mine from discount retailer Buyology for the princely sum of £8 ...

Advantages: WILL SAVE YOU MONEY!!! Disadvantages: COST!!!
built into the controller. So microsoft came up with the idea of... NUCLEAR POWER CONTROLLERS. But then they probably realised this would be to dangerous and powerful so they just settled for double "A" batterys.
: )
The batterys will last for around 12 - 20 continuous hours depending on the type you use, but changing batterys almost every day gets very annoying, and expensive. If you have rechargable batterys you will save money instead of always throwing batterys way but why wait for batterys to recharge?
Microsoft then came up with the idea of the batterypack. On a full charge it will last around 24 hours of gaming and can be on charge while in use! It will add a small amound of extra weight to the controller but not so that you would notice. This is all good! you can now have a charging pack so you no longer need to buy batterys ...
