Elite controller not charging.

I took the plug and play battery from my old controller to use in my new elite and switched out USB cables. Everything worked fine until just now. I received the notification of a low battery so I plugged it in. The low battery icon faded out from the dashboard
and within a few minutes the low battery notification popped up again, while it was still plugged in. I unplugged the controller, and then plugged it back in. Same thing happened. I then put the old USB cable back in and tried again. Same thing happened, but
the charge indicator light on the cable did not come on (I'm not sure if it's even supposed to, considering there isn't one on the new USB cable). Any ideas? Anyone else having this happen? The micro USB port on the controller is super snug, not sure if that's
normal.

Edit: When unplugging the cable from the controller, the Xbox button flashes, even though it is not providing power.

Where canot I find a charging station for the Xbox one elite controller?

No Charging Kit with Xbox One Elite Controller

My complaint is the charging kit I have doesn't fit in the Elite Controller which REALLY annoys me.

 

Edit 2 (I can't actually edit my post): I removed the battery pack and placed it in my old controller, and it shows as fully charged. When replaced back into the elite, it shows as fully charged.

 

Hey Pushmonk!

To clarify, after you switched the battery around it started showing correctly for you? Are you still seeing any issues with this or are you all good to go now?

 

I have the same problem here.

My old Play and Charge charges fine in my old controller but won't charge in my Elite.

 

My new elite controller does not charge also. I'll charge the battery in another controller until MS fixes it I guess. I unpluged it, plugged in a regular controller, and went back and now it's charging. The firmware version is 2.3.2369.2

 

I too am having this issue. P&C cable shows orange for charging but battery level when powered on shows red no power.

 

I'm having a similar issue. The standard play n charge kit cable stays orange forever. The controller will charge somewhat with the braided cord that it comes with. When it shows fully charged it will show low battery after a few hours. Then I go to plug
it in and then immediately unplug it and then it shows fully charged. It's is being weird.

 

Hey everyone!

hypo luxa mentioned they were using the Micro USB cable that was included with the Elite Controller which provides some charge. Can everyone else please clarify that they're using this cable to charge their controller? Thanks!

 

Hi Mister Maka,

Thanks for the reply. I wish the elite braided cable came with some type of visual indicator like the standard play and charge cables in the form of a orange / white light that tells the user that the battery is charged. It is very bizarre that the other
4 standard controllers that I own never have given me the "battery low" notification on screen whilst the elite controller gives it to me after a few hours or even after 20-ish so minutes of gameplay. When I see this notification, I'll plug in the elite controller
and then unplug it immediately or I'll even re-sync it and presto, the xbox elite controller reads full charge....and not low battery. Is there a firmware issue going on right now because the elite controller shipped with its most current firmware version?
Seems really buggy to me....and to hear other folks having a similar issue above kindof makes me think it's not isolated. Any thoughts?

 

.....and to add one other thing.....the first night I tried charging the battery pack with the play and charge kit black cable, it never turned white. It perpetually indicated orange.

 

I've been having this same problem, both old and new cable will never charge on the elite. No amount of switching will make it read the battery correctly, always red, NEVER charges. It will also not read normal AA batteries correctly. Popped in 2 brand new
Eneloop batteries and they showed red.

 

To clarify, yes, after switching the battery back and forth, everything has been working normally. I have been waiting for the low battery icon to pop up again, before I tried anything. It just came up and I'm currently charging the Elite with the old cable.
It seems to be working fine. I will update with any changes.

 

Thanks for clarifying that Pushmonk.

It seems like an odd step to try, but can everyone else try putting their Play & Charge kit battery pack into another controller, power it on, and then switch the batteries back to your Elite controller? Just want to see if this is a fix for everyone or
just a one time dealio.

Also, when you see the low battery indicator does the controller die shortly after or does it run as if it's still fully charged?
