Long story short, I have an old xbox one controller with a micro-usb, and xbox series s with the usb-c. I have a rechargeable battery for each, but have been considering replacing the worn out xbox one controller. Can I just use the battery on any new controller I get, even if it has usb-c, or does it need to be an older model?

Thanks in advance!

    Are we talking about the battery pack or AA-batteries?

    If the latter: My Xbox Series Controller takes the same rechargeable AA batteries as my trusty old 360 controller.

    If you’re talking about the official Xbox rechargeable battery pack, it is interchangeable. I moved mine from my Xbox One X controller to my Series X controller.

      Oh I indeed meant the battery pack, probably should have clarified. Thank you for the confirmation that it works!

    AA rechargeable batteries will always be interchangeable between all models of Xbox controllers that accept AA batteries.

    Rechargeable battery packs may not be interchangeable depending on the design of the battery pack and on the design of the controller. I am fairly sure the battery slot design did not change between Xbox One and Xbox Series controller designs, so in they should be interchangeable. But its entirely possible there were minor alterations made that prevent this. I have not personally tried it myself, because I just use AA rechargeable batteries for my regular controllers, as my Elite controllers have an internal battery.
