The Play and Charge Kit includes two key features: a rechargeable battery pack and an extra long 9-foot cable. The 1200 mAh battery will replace the disposable AA batteries typically found in Xbox controllers to allow players to play longer between charges and it can charge as you stay connected to the console and play. The 9-foot cable allows you to spread out comfortably even when you're connected, but when sufficiently charged, gamers can also disconnect from the 9-foot cord and play wirelessly while relying on the battery pack alone.
