This response is pretty great although not exactly addressing the penny hack.

Edit: apparently you can get spacers to utilize smaller batteries in larger configurations. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JHKSLSW/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1&pldnSite=1

I have this set of rechargeable batteries that came with some C and D spacers. They work great.

Get rechargeable batteries instead. This is a great brand that a lot of gamers use and recommend and that I own as well. They will last longer than the battery packs and it's cheaper and you can use them in other things other than your controller.

My charger came with the batteries, and I suggest you just buy a kit with it all. Something like this

I have had my Eneloop for over almost 15-years now starting with the Xbox 360. For 5 of those years, it sat in storage, and still works great!

I got mine from Amazon. I got this exact package went it was on sale for $17. It goes on sale a few times a year. I'd keep an eye out on slick deals for it, they sell out pretty quickly. I wouldn't buy it for $33, but at $25 or lower sure.

I am nit sure if this charger does Aa and aaa, but bunch of eneloop batteries (best batteries you can get) and a charger is one of best investments I made, and I got it as my first purchase trough prime now app same day delivery to get $20 off first purchase of $50 bucks, so I got 16 Aa 14 aaa couple of converters and a smart charger for like 30 bucks.these and couple extra packs of batteries

Edit it does charge both aaa and aa and it's 2 individual chanels which is great for this price, as far as getting more batteries eneloop are best and Amazon branded ones are basically eneloop last gen rebranded which you can find on sale.

One of the best purchases I've ever made for around the house and for years now I've just kept recharging the supplied AAs

Amazed people still use non recharable batteries. My suggestion would be to invest in 8 good quality recharable batteries like Eneloops and just swap them from the charger to controller when required.

I personally bought this package maybe 5 years ago and the batteries are still going strong in my xbox controllers and other devices.

Make sure you get similar batteries if you choose another brand that hold a charge for a long time. The cheaper rechargables go flat very quickly even without use. I think eneloops and similar ones can hold charge for 10 years even if just sitting there.
