Thank you and have a great day.

Thanks for the reply! I will try that the next time I have low batteries. As far as this being an idea, I don't think this is an idea so much as pointing out that the Xbox instructions are wrong, or at least they are lacking the key piece of information
you provided.

Hello!

Thanks for reaching out to us here on the forums with this inquiry. I understand you're having an issue with the battery level indicator for two separate Xbox One Wireless controllers. So I tested it out here on our end with two controllers one I knew had
low battery level and one with brand new batteries. What we were able to figure out was that the controller that's battery indicator level is being displayed is in fact the controller that is assigned as Player 1. When you switch from the low battery controller
to being the active Player 1 profile signed in it will then show the dying controllers indicator. It is a good point and I would recommend submitting the feedback through
Xbox Ideas. Find an appropriate Idea Drive that is "Accepting Ideas" and submit your suggestion on resolving the issue there. Hope this helps!

To have an accurate indicator you need to know the exact battery type and mah etc, you will find the xbox battery indicator is brilliant with the xbox rechargeable battery. However a poor indicator with third part batteries due to not being able to detect
this information accurately.

This is silly. On the 360 you simply hit the guide button. Now you have to wait until the controller becomes erratic before you know the batteries are low?

Is MS working on a fix for this?
