    Can I charge the Play & Charge kit on my PC?


    I am curious if the Xbox One Play & Charge Kit will charge properly when connected via USB to a PC? Or even if I can use my mobile phone charger (Wall charger with mini-USB) to charge my controller... Any idea?

    :)

    rechargeable batteries

    I don't use rechargeable batteries but I don't believe you can charge them as you play.

    I use the official play & charge kit
    www.xbox.com/.../play-and-charge-kit

    Had mine since launch & never had an issue & the time between charges is quite long.

    The play & charge kits I had for my 360 lasted about 8 years so I expect the xbox one one to be the same.

    Can I charge the Play & Charge kit on my PC?

    Yes, any microUSB cable will work to charge the cable (though only the official one will have the indicator light showing if it's charging or fully charged). It should also charge if you use the official one plugged into a PC or even a wall outlet with an
    adapter, but I'm not sure if the indicator light still works in that instance - but the controller should get charged.

    Hope that helps. Let us know if you have further questions.

    How do most of you charge your controllers?

    Quick charge kit, right in front of me as my 360 and my PC shares one monitor. Had 2 play n' charge kits and returned both of them because it's not charging for some reason.

    Xbox Play and Charge kit; does it come with everything?

    Hi.

    I had some problems with the two brands for play and charge. Hama and Speed link.

    Hama had some visual defects, but technically it was relatively ok

    Speedlinkl It has technical problems: the battery is discharging very quickly.

    After a full charge if I put the battery out of the gamepad, in three days is completely discharged..

    When I changed the brand I wanted to buy the original play and charge kit. This one

    www.xbox.com/.../play-and-charge-kitMy     gamepad is for windows with a receiver

    But the guy at the store, in which I did not really trust, He told me that this is only for xbox.

    Then I bought Speedlink which was found to be defective.

    So Tomorrow I go to the store to return it and I want to know if the original play and charge kit It can charge the battery from pc?

    1. My gamepad is for windows with a receiver

    Question: The Gamepad for xbox (console) and one for Pc (Windows) are the same?

    my Opinion: My logic, I must believe that they are teh same, the only difference is that the gamepad for pc has a receiver for sincronization.

    2. People from xbox. fabricated a PC gamepad with receiver.

    Question: where is the play and charging kit for PC?

    my Opinion: The cable from play and charge kit is only for charging, with USB jack

    It is just a charging cable with a rechargeable battery.

    If the gamepad for xbox is the same with gamepad for pc, only difference is that the gamepad for pc has a receiver

    Why the cable would not fit to PC?

    3. So. Can I buy the original Play and charge kit to charge my gamepad from PC or not?

    Thank you!

    Xbox One Play and Charge Kit

    My play and charge kit is working and lasting fine on the Xbox One. And for the 360 I used the play and charge kit briefly, and i did not like the cords. So I switched to the quick charge kit. I found that to be far more satisfactory than the play and
    charge.
