I actually quite like the look of them if i'm honest, hopefully they turn out to be pretty good.

I got the beboncool pack, only 4 batteries but they last ages.

Amazon charger with overcharge protection plus 4 eneloops pros here. Rarely have to change them out and always have another 2 ready to go.
Soldato
Was looking at the eneloops originally but decided against it as spent way to much money and had a budget. EBL's are doing me fine normally last a week or so with me playing 4-5+ hours a day currently due to being on furlough.
I'll probably pick up some of the Ikea ones when i'm next there, apparently rebranded eneloops.
I've pre-ordered. Hope the audio quality is the same as the surface headphones.
EBL charger it is junk for me dakaiez, batteries are fine once I can manage to charge them. If I put in the batteries it will get to the 2nd middle part flashing and stay there forever, I then have to take out batteries and put back in for it to eventually charge and even then it takes 6 hours minimum. Really to me a proper charger is its done rapidly within 30 minutes or so.

Ok guys just found what I thought was a big issue, and lost some hours on save.
Basically a console update was due, and the save option in the game got greyed out as if there is a online requirement, clip here..

Can see when I tried to stay offline, it wouldnt let me save, and when I went online it forced me out of the game, however after I made the clip it quick resumed (the first time I ever seen this feature worked). So in this case I am ok. But was scary.
Update
save in game still greyed out after quick resume and online.

Maybe contact EBL? My charger doesn't do that and fully charges my batteries in a couple of hours.
If they have a uk number I mgiht try, right now after replacing all 4, the first 2 charged, but the 2nd two are still flashing middle bar, at this point they been in for 10 hours, so probably need to take out the last 2 and put them back in again.
I do wonder if the batteries are actually charged and it might just be a display issue but either way its a rough experience. Because I know if I take out batteries showing as charged and put them right back in, it shows as 50% charge again immediately.
I personally find this way more inconvenient than have a cable connected though, bear in mind I sit a foot at most away from the console..
Soldato
Yeah that's weird and totally the opposite experience i've had with my EBL's since getting the Series X around New Years.
If you've got them through Amazon ask for a replacement they are normally very very good.
I do wonder if its an issue with power draw in usb ports I am trying? I have it in a usb port on my cyberpower UPS, maybe the power been fed is a too low or something, all 4 are charged now but when I next use it I will try it on either a charger or usb3 port.
Soldato
I use the adapter and cable I use to charge my Samsung S10+ and not one problem.
Mine has this exact issue, now you mention it. But I've only charged the batteries 3-4 times so was not certain if it was consistently doing it. But reading your post it's definitely the same. I use the same lenovo 65w usb-c charger that is used for 2 laptops and a phone which all charge at correct speeds.
Can anyone recommend me a charger that would be better? Undecided if I would just get a better charger, requests replacement or just buy the play and charge kit!

This is the charger the OH got me for Christmas and I use it with an Anker 28W charger and haven't noticed any issues.
Yeah my EBL charger is great. I don't have issues like that. Howcome you've persevered for so long without asking for a replacement from Amazon? I'd have been in touch right away if it wasn't working as intended. You do have a right to something that works properly so definitely get a new one sorted asap.

Very rarely since playing the Forza Horizon games have I enjoyed other driving/racing games however I fired up Wreckfest this evening and so far have been really liking it.

That's the exact one I have, although haven't experience what you've said well maybe just haven't noticed it yet.

I got my Samsung g7 monitor still in the box ready to use - when I can actually get an Xbox , hoping for a care package soon

Wreckfests 30fps is quite jarring for some reason, hopefully it gets an fps boost.
