Venom Twin Charging Dock with 2 x Rechargeable Battery Packs – Black (Xbox Series X & S / Xbox One)

The twin charging station works great, looks good with a matching white colour to match my Xbox Series S and is very user friendly. You simply just put the controller onto the docking station and that’s it. The charge lasts long enough to play ~10hrs of gaming with a headset or more without. But it charges very fast and you can charge one controller whilst using another.

I hesitated on upgrading to this but I shouldn’t have worried, it’s an excellent bit of kit. Comes with backs for XBone and XBSERIES controllers so it’s backwards compatible.

Got this for my son when we got a new Xbox for his birthday as console controllers have to be the nemesis of EVERY battery manufacturer out there! To be fair this docking station NEARLY became my sons nemesis when he was trying to put the packs in the back of his new controllers but he got there in the end and the controllers are doing well!

Hold the charge well, no problem with the fitting of the battery covers fit well on the xbox controller x or xbox 1. Decent length of cable.

So the back bit where the batteries are the lid doesn’t fit lol so I had to use the original lid which I don’t mind but it sucks as I can’t charge the controller with the venom lid

I’ve had a few Venom wireless chargers over the years for PS4, PS5 and now for the Xbox Series S. Whilst they are great at doing there job. I find the charging LEDs are super bright and have been on them all. I keep mine in the bedroom and have to cover them with a tv remote propped up otherwise it lights up the whole room. Just something to take note.

Charges controllers perfectly. Nice and simple, plugs into the back of your Xbox and chargers your controllers wirelessly. Much better than using multiple AA batteries. Build quality could be a bit better as it’s very light plastic but hardly matters as once you put it down you’ll barely touch it.

First up some reviews state that “the back cover doesn’t fit blah blah blah” these are wrong as it includes covers for both standard controllers and series X/S controllers (this is stated on the back of the box).

Good charge times and game times can’t recommend highly enough.

Handy but charge should last longer for me. Setup is simple and docking into the charger is painless, only moan is the charge length, I charge with these far more often than previous batteries. Charge indicator is good and its discrete.

First of all, excellent service from Amazon and Amazon logistics – considering its my first order with Amazon. Second, the product works as intended, no problems holding a charge for an x amount of time. I have not yet came across cell damage as one reviewer put it but I am keeping an eye out for it. As the title suggests, this is better suited for 2 controllers because if one goes flat, the other is ready for use.

Good product, Venom.

After buying a new controller I noticed I needed a new charging dock and battery pack, double and triple checked that this one would be the right one for my controller only to find that it came with both battery covers for a Xbox one & the newer Xbox controller so best of both worlds!! Very confusing when the description and pictures say its absolutely not compatible with Xbox one controllers. Also comes with a nice roped 2 metre usb type-c to plug into the back of the dock to power it.

Always get the venom chargers now. It does get a bit gauling the way Microsoft change the battery compartment ever so slightly so you can’t use batteries across differing controllers, for instance you have to snap off 2 clips on the batteries to use them in xbox elite controller. But as far as the product goes they work well the life of these seem to go onnfor years. I bought a similar venom charger for mine and my sons xbox ones and they are still going and hold there charge so have high hopes for these ones too!

Bought for my teenager. Does the job and he is very pleased with it. Bought for his xbox series S. As others have said .. a litte fiddly to put battery pack on , but no other issues so far.

I got it 4 days ago, charger works perfectly, battery lasts for 12-13h straight gameplay not 15 as in description (maybe I push buttons to often 😀 ) but it’s within OK limits I wasn’t expecting any better.

I have one of these for my previous Xbox One controllers and it has given me faultless service for years. That’s the reason I’ve stuck with the same brand and format this time. I have to say so far it’s every bit as effective as the first one and I would have no hesitation in recommending to anyone looking for a similar product.

Brought this as a gift for my partner, it’s perfect, he’s very impressed, it changes colour whilst charging (red) and again when charged (green) doesn’t have any lights on when no controller in it. It’s easy to place the controller in, and fits perfectly under the tv. Definitely recommend!

I like this thing. It’s cheap, simple to use and does what it’s supposed to do.
My biggest problem is when will manufacturers of gaming related equipment realise that we are not all 12 years old and we don’t need RGB or stupid symbols on everything. Yes, the design and everything is in keeping with the theme they are going for but where are the nice, clean, NO RGB things which grown ups can use and keep in their living rooms? Why do we need a stupid bright snake head light on the front of the charger!?!?

Anyways my rant about the styling do not detract from the fact that this a Great bit of kit, if you can find somewhere to hide it’s ugliness then I highly recommend it.

This is a must have if you own an Xbox and don’t want to have to keep replacing the batteries all the time. I don’t know why they’ve still chosen not to have a rechargeable battery on the controllers, but this after market set up works well. The controller fits nicely into the docking station (unlike others I’ve used for Playstation controllers)

My only gripe if the charging light, I wish there was a way to turn it off as it has a fair amount of nightime glow, fortunately it isn’t in the bedroom or I’d have covered it over by now.

On the plus slide the Matt white matches the series S controller and console

Amazing one very happy boy . Looks good and excellent value with upd highly recommend

This does exactly what it needs to do and appears to be well built, but at night the light on it is so bright it’s ridiculous. I’m lucky in that my charger is in a room off my main bedroom and so it’s toned down a bit but I can still tell that it’s on.

If this was in your actual bedroom, as many teenagers might have a console in their room, the light would just be too bright in my opinion.

First impressions after a days use. The battery is a reassuringly solid fit into the controller, with the controller simply resting elegantly on the charging station. The supplied braided power lead is a good 2m long which allows for charge and play.

Our XBOX series X remotes were blazing through batteries, faster than a dildo in a nunnery and something needed to be done! A couple quick clicks (innuendo intended) and amazon found me this gem. They’re exactly what I needed and now have batteries spare for the things I really needed them for.

Performance:
Simply put, the performance is the same as 2x AA batteries. Exactly what you want. I expect that this will degrade over time and you can replace the battery pack in a few years.

Look and feel:
This product looks amazing on the shelf, completely fitting the minimalist feel of the Series S (see pic).

I’m not a huge fan of branding on 3rd party accessories, however it’s not nearly as noticeable as on the CAD on the Amazon product page.

But the biggest downside has to come with the small LEDs at the front on the product – they’re just so bright! This isn’t a deal breaker by any means and I’ve muted this effect by putting a few layers of masking tape over them.

Verdict:
This is almost the perfect mix of looks and performance. The overly bright LEDs aren’t enough to take a star off, so would highly recommend – 5/5 stars

So the batteries and the docking station BOTH work on the SERIES X AND SERIES ONE controller BUT……
the older controllers will have the top of the battery sticking out slightly at the top but they DO still work. Having had the previous gen venom battery pack I found the battery didn’t fit the new controller so a quick look and found Venom had created this new Gen.
I’m happy to say Venom have done it again and produced another great charging station. It gives a decent amount of charge for a good gaming session and as there is 2 batteries if it does run low you have the other battery as a back up.

I bought this to replace my previous Xbox’s dual cradle from Venom (which stood the test of time, both batteries & cradle).

Whilst this is a good visual improvement and the braided cable is obviously superior to the none braided in the previous version I find that you have to place th controller perfectly to get the pins aligned. I never had this issue with the previous cradle hence the four stars.

Apart from that niggle a good product and much preferred to standard rechargeable batteries.
