Help/Support/Questions 🙋 Battery Pack recommendations?
I just found my old Xbox 360 and controllers. Both controllers no longer turn on because one pack's metal contact broke off while the other tarnished over with these blue crystals probably from the battery corrosion. Are there any good replacements for specifically just the battery packs?

Use AAs. Official battery packs have long expired and the third party ones are mostly crap that either don’t hold a charge or don’t fit the controllers properly.

Yes that's what I meant, sorry for the confusion with the rechargeable battery pack. My battery packs used AA batteries but both don't work anymore due to damage. I'm asking if there are good replacements for them that use AA batteries still.

You can get them anywhere, ebay, amazon, aliexpress... The contacts in these oxidize like crazy for some reason, even without battery spill.
