I don't know how to charge my battery pack for my xbox 360 wireless controller

Hello gamer,

This behavior can occur if one or more of the following conditions are true:

. The battery has reached the charge limit.

. There may be an issue with the charge cable.

. There may be an issue with the battery.

Things to try:

1. Determine the part of the recharging system that may be causing the issue.

Controller

Try AA batteries or try a different Xbox 360 Rechargeable Battery Pack in the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller to verify that there is nothing wrong with the controller. If the controller works with different batteries, the controller is not causing the issue.

Charge cable

Try a different Xbox 360 Play and Charge cable to charge the battery. If the battery charges correctly with a different charge cable, the original charge cable is faulty.

Rechargeable battery

a. Use a cotton swab and some alcohol to clean the four gold contacts on the Xbox 360 Rechargeable Battery Pack and on the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller.

b. Try a different Xbox 360 Rechargeable Battery Pack with the charge cable. If the second battery charges correctly, the original battery is faulty.

Regarding your first question you should check your NAT settings and make sure they are open

My controllers are doing the same thing. They are both wireless controllers. I tried one with new batteries and the other with a battery pack. When it's plugged in with the battery pack it works and even says that it has a full charge. When I disconnect
the cord, it won't reconnect to the XBOX. I don't have anything new (wireless or bluetooth or anything) that would be interfering with the signal - to my knowledge.

Hi MoonChild07,

You will need to connect the cord to the Xbox and the controller at the same time, while having your console on and the battery pack is still attached to the controller. That way the console will recharge the battery pack while you can still use the controller.
After it is fully recharged, you can remove the cord and use the controller wirelessly.

My controller is wireless and has a rechargeable battery pack but [...] I possibly could have lost the charge cord. I have the main cord to play ...

What "main cord" do you mean?

The only cord that attaches to the Wireless Controller is from the original Play & Charge kit, and

looks like this (there is a white and black model, but both are the same).

Also be aware, that if you have put rechargeable AA batteries into the battery compartment, that can NOT be charged with the Play&Charge cable. Only the original Play&Charge battery pack can be charged, as it has special connectors, that do not connect via
the battery connectors of standard AA batteries. For comparison, check
this picture with a regular battery pack on the left with AA batteries sticking out on the top, and right next to that the Play&Charge battery pack, with the golden charging contacts in the middle of the backside.

The picture also shows the Play&Charge charging cable as well as a standalone battery charger.
