Does this bundle have the new high capacity GamePad battery that lasts up to 8 hours? Or, is it still the original one that one lasts 3 to 5 hours?

It's the standard battery, but it lasts a good amount of time. Unless you're going to be playing all day without a break, it should be plenty. Also, are the extended replacement batteries even out yet? I was under the impression those haven't been released yet (as of this writing).

From my experience the battery does not last longer than 5 hours but it's a not a big deal for me because I don't play all day. You can buy 2 gamepads and always keep one charging if you wanna play all day.

Not real sure about just standby time, because I'm either constantly playing real racing 3 when home after work and weekends or listening to radio and stuff when I'm at work. As far as usage goes though, they have been pretty impressive compared to original battery and to what i actually expected. I expected a much faster discharge, but both anker batteries stand up to my original

I have been happy with it. Instead of about 2 hours of unplugged life, the battery gives 3 hours. The physical size is the same.

Yes it does. I've had the controller since March and I have yet to charge it again. I don't play very often but, battery life is excellent.

Had mine for about 3 months, charged it about half-dozen times. System Preference has an icon when you load up the Logitech Software that will indicate how low the battery is. IIRC that software will also tell you, if you forget, to recharge it. I simply plug mine into the USB port on the keyboard, and continue to use but a couple hours later it's all good. I got mine at half the price of Apple's and most pleased. Took the Magic Pad back.

Hi Gregory --- As I remember, there was one (1) battery with the headset, but I also ordered two (2) spares at the same time. I have found that one full battery will last for about 2 hours. I always have my other two spares mounted in the transmitter which keeps them fully charged. This process has worked perfectly for me, and the headset does a great job of dealing with my slowly increasing deafness. God's blessings. Larry Dube'

I had to buy the battery pack with a cord that plugs into the controller in order for the controller to work. You could also use regular batteries in order to get the controller to work, but I just went with the battery pack with a cord. I bought the battery pack from Gamestop, but I'm sure Wal-Mart or K-Mart have them also. Hope this answers your question.

The transmitter inside the pad is powered by a non-replaceable lithium battery. The battery has been engineered to last the duration of the pad's life term, which is one year. Replacement pads are available separately from this system. Note that this system should always come with a one year warrantied sensor pad, not 45 or 90 days. If you ever receive anything but a one year pad, you should immediately contact Amazon and ask to return the item, as that means the seller you bought the system from is not offering the correct product. We do not recommend re-purchasing from the same seller, as you are likely to again receive the same incorrect product. The transmitter inside the pad is powered by a non-replaceable lithium battery.

To be honest I don't know I don't play that long. I bought the nyko pro controller and I could always use that if the game pad ran out. It's a great controller and 20 bucks

Very long. I can sometimes get into some lengthy gaming marathons, and the battery has never been an issue. I estimate 4-6 hours depending on volume and battery health. Also note that you can use the device while it is charging, but the included cable is too short. If this is a major concern consider purchasing a longer USB cable with a Micro-B termination on one end.

I have never used it past 3 hrs and there was no problem ...The company says a full charge can play for 5 hrs .. With a lot more hrs standby.

1. No, you can not access the battery.2. Depends what you are doing, but with they kwybaord attached anywhere from 6-10+ hours. More like 6 if you're playing games, but if you turn the screen brightness down and just surf the internet you'll get decent time out of the battery.

I would not say that, but it did return the GB to its original battery life. I can use mine for a few days now without having to charge it, probably playing 4-5 hours a day. Absolutely worth picking up.

I know that the PS3 controller batteries have to be changed out at some point of use. You'll be able to tell when they won't hold a charge like they use to. I'm thinking that I am having this issue with this headset now. I've had it for a couple of years and the kids use it all day and night so I know it gets it's use. So I'm checking around reviews and whatnot to see if this is my issue with the headset... I've tried new cords just in case there is a short in the wire but a new wire doesn't make a difference.

Considered buying those as well. What's nice is you can get AA and AAA batteries on the Rayovac charger. (For your controller and headset, if you use one). However the base is awesome because you simply set the controller on the dock when not playing & it is always charged. Haven't had a battery issue in the 2 or so weeks I've had it.

It lasted my son about 4 hours or so before it needed recharged. It works best if you let it fully charge before operating it. He wanted to start playing with it before fully charged. But did not hold charge very long.

Hey Thomas, are you currently using this gamepad on windows 8.1? Are you having any issues with that?
