For ardent gamers, the annoyance of a dying controller in the middle of an intense gaming session is all too familiar. Xbox users, however, have stumbled upon several tactics that can marginally extend their controller's battery life. These might not promise a revolutionary boost, but if you frequently find your controller running out of juice, these strategies are worth trying.
1. Dimming the Lights Using Night Mode
One of the simplest methods to conserve your Xbox controller's battery is by reducing the brightness of its light. This is where the 'Night Mode' feature comes into play.
Night Mode allows you to dim the controller light, reducing energy consumption. Additionally, you can preset the Default Brightness separate from the Night Mode brightness. This flexibility offers you the convenience of toggling between two distinct brightness levels effortlessly.
To access and modify the Night Mode settings, navigate through: Profile & System > Settings > Accessibility > Night Mode.
