Nyko Xbox 360 Charge Base Review

As long as you always remember to place your controllers back in the base, then you’ll be ok. The batteries are also nickel metal-hydride, which don’t have a noticable “memory effect”. Some people may worry that they will lose effective battery life if they are always charging while at 75% capacity. In theory, batteries last longer if you let them fully discharge and then recharge them fully, but in practice it really doesn’t matter. Stop worrying about it and just enjoy the extra freedom that your Nyko Charge Base gives you.

It is true that the charger is much bulkier than other chargers (especially with two wireless gamepads mounted), but having a base looks alot more organized than loose peripherals strewn about. You’ll almost always have the base plugged in, which is not the case with my other chargers, which sit in a wicker basket with all my other batteries, waiting for an emergency charge session.

To me, the Nyko Charge base is the best charger you can buy. It overcomes the most annoying problem with other chargers, looks great, and keeps you gaming.
