Introduction

While wireless controllers have been around for a while now, the default power option for them is almost always standard AA batteries. This is fine, but if you’re a prolific gamer it can become quite expensive over time. That’s where charge packs come in.

Today I’m taking a quick look at the Konnet PowerV Quad Charger. A recharge point that can support up to four remotes and comes with a charge pack for each of them.

Packaging

NB. Apologies these photos aren’t the greatest. Time was a little short and there was no way this was showing up in the light tent.

Not much to say about the packaging except that the interior plastic is some of the worst, hand slicing plastic ever. So be careful upon opening.

Along with the charge packs and station itself, you get a mains charger, USB cable and a short manual that is completely unecessary.
