This is how I do it too, we just got a second charger so we could keep more than 4 charged, mostly for remotes and controllers. Agree with cables, I’ve had shit luck with anything from Amazon, it’s about a 50/50 shot if the cable will last more than a month, I’d be happy to hear where people buy quality cables.
Comment on I'm so sick of dinky shitty devices with garbage rechargeable batteries
Fredselfish@lemmy.world 6 months agoAll the batteries in my house are double A and Triple A rechargeable. Use them for the Xbox and the remotes.
But I agree with OP sick of batteries that last one to two days. And cables today suck. Back in the old days the charger got with my phone lasted for years. Now it seems the cables lucky they last 6 months.

WTH do people do with their cables? I haven’t had one fray/fail on me… ever, and I pay zero attention to them.

Yeah this. Last cable had fray was nearly 20 years ago and it was cheap junk, known to buckle under use. But these days, even $5 cables from 7/11 are quite decent.
I guess stop trying to hang elephants with them? 🤷♂️
