What sort of AAs were you using? I used to get around at least a month or two on a set of fully charged standard Eneloop AAs. Then again, I didn't use my Xbox too intensely, maybe you had a different experience. It would make sense for the Elite to have longer battery life simply because of better battery chemistry (lithium ion on the integrated pack compared to AAs with nickel metal hydride).

I believe I had Eneloop Pro's (2500mAh?) in there and while the Elite would last 40h the Xbox One worked for 20-30h at most. When Elite's LED turned orange it still had enough juice for a few hours, so I could complete my gaming session easily, can't say that about the other one which was really annoying
