Series controller, battery level wildly fluctuating

I see. However, is their type really relevant? The problem is that windows claimed it ran out of juice too fast. I am wondering if this is a bug or (god forbid) a defect with the controller.

Hmm....I assumed it would be rechargeable ones since everyone says the official controllers ship with those. However I cannot really find anything to confirm that on the cells themselves. It just says Duracell OEM and the rest is some other language.

Anyways, I don't have other, fresh batteries with me atm so I can't swap them and test.

Far as I recall, the controller comes with batteries that aren't rechargeable. Duracell Rechargeables, from my own personal experience, are either Green and Gold or they are the normal Black and Gold with rechargeable written in green just under the Duracell name.

Having said that, different countries have different styles etc...Rechargeables would say it though

Those batteries are not rechargeable Sarath. You'll need to replace them after use.

Sure hope it's only a glitch. As for testing the batteries, I don't have any others with enough charge in them. Only AA cells in the house are at least half empty.

I see. Thanks.

btw....just asking to be safe, a type c micro usb cable plugged into the computer port won't actually try to charge the ordinary batteries, would they? Or should I remove the batteries while using the cable? I heard that only the charge and play kit can recharge them while inserted.
