Bombarded with disconnects while using the Charge and play kit if moved

With usage the charge and play kit loses it's charge so if you have been using the kit for a while maybe its time for a new one.

The play and charge kit is just that a charge kit that allows you to play while charging. It does not turn it into a wired controller.

If you disconnect the play and charge kit and leave only the cable connection. Are you able to use the controller or not at all?
(Just in case the charge kit is interfering with the functionality)

The controller doesn't appear inside Xinput?

How it went with the option A and B? Still the same?

@RagMan85 Do you keep you controller connected to the console via play n' charge kit. It may stay on to charge the controller. This is what happens to me, but I disconnect the play n' charge kit before it turns off so it wont do this.

Get a Play n' Charge one and you can have the best of both worlds.

Well to be honest, the only people that really should be using a play and charge kit are the people who only own one controller and one battery pack. This is quite obvious the advantage to them.



There is absolutely no reason to use a play and charge kit when you own 2 battery packs, and/or controllers because what you do is you always keep the charged pack in the cradle or 2nd controller while using the other one. That way you
always have one fully charged battery on hand at all times and you will never be without a battery pack and have to endure the very long wait time it takes to charge with the play and charge kit... especially when you are playing at the same time.



Again, the play and charge kit as far as I'm concerned was designed for people who only own a single battery pack. A much better option is to invest in the New black quick charge kit and an extra battery pack (giving you 2 battery packs total) while always
keeping a fully charged pack on hand. Not only that but the Quick Charge Kit is over twice as fast as a play and charge kit.



Play n' charge kit - 6 to 12 hours depending on if you are using it while it is charging



Quick charge kit - Less than 2 hours for a single pack, Less than 4 hours for 2 packs being charged simutaneously.



This is a no brainer. Quick charge is the much better option hands down, and why anyone would rather be tethered to console like the PS3 is beyond me. IMO that wireless controller isn't really a true wireless controller if you charge it with the play and
charge. Seriously as soon as I got 2 battery packs, it makes absolutely no sense to use the play and charge kit ever again.
