Two pairs per controller
A controller cycles its cells far more often than a remote. Standard eneloop AA is rated for 2,100 recharges, four times the pro rating, and that is the number that matters when a pair goes back on the charger twice a week. pro AA lasts longer per session if long sessions are the problem.
Two pairs per controller is the rhythm that works: one in the controller, one in the charger. A four-cell starter kit covers one controller exactly, and the chargers here take AA and AAA side by side if the remote shares the charger.
Every cell listed under eneloop for game controllers charges in any charger of the eneloop line, standard or pro.
eneloop for game controllers: questions
Will eneloop AA work in your game controllers?
In controllers that take AA cells, yes, and the pack descriptions list game controllers among the uses. Keep the two cells of a pair together, charged as a set.
Should you use eneloop or eneloop pro in a controller?
Standard for the rated 2,100 recharges if you swap pairs often. pro if you want the longest session from one pair and swap less often.
