Quick answer

The Nyko Charge Base XS1 Pro is a dual-port charging dock that keeps your Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One controllers powered and organized. Follow the steps below to set it up and avoid common mistakes.

What you need before starting

Make sure you have the Charge Base XS1 Pro, a compatible Xbox controller (Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One), and a USB power source (the console or a wall adapter). The dock does not include a power brick, so use the console’s USB port or a standard 5V adapter.

Why this dock works well

The dual-port design lets you charge two controllers at once, reducing cable clutter. The included rechargeable battery packs replace standard AA batteries, so you save money over time. Just note that the dock is designed for official Xbox controllers; third-party controllers may not fit securely.

Setup steps

  1. Connect the dock to power: Plug the included USB cable into the back of the Charge Base XS1 Pro, then connect the other end to a USB port on your Xbox Series X|S or a 5V wall adapter. A small LED on the dock will light up to confirm power. If the LED does not light, try a different USB port or adapter. The dock needs 5V power; some older USB ports may not provide enough.
  2. Install the battery pack in your controller: Remove the battery cover from your Xbox controller and insert the included rechargeable battery pack. Align the connector with the controller’s terminals and press firmly until it clicks. Replace the battery cover. Make sure the battery pack is fully seated. A loose connection can cause intermittent charging or no charging at all.
  3. Place the controller on the dock: Line up the charging contacts on the bottom of the controller with the pogo pins on the dock. Gently press down until the controller sits flat. A solid LED on the dock indicates charging; a blinking LED means the controller is fully charged or not seated correctly. If the LED blinks continuously, lift the controller and reseat it. The contacts must be clean and aligned for proper charging.
