Venom Battery Pack

My Venom battery pack doesn't fit my newly purchased Design Lab Controller, the holes for the battery cover are slightly further apart, I've tried several (old and new) but won't fit!! Why don't the battery packs fit, and why is the fitting different from the original xbox one x pads??

When you say you've tried New battery packs, was it a new battery pack designed for the Series S/X controllers? The Xbox One Venom battery packs won't fit the new controllers (Venom sell newer versions of these). The controller's much smaller size may have necessitated some minor changes?

But then if it;s the wrong battery pack, it shoudn't work with either controller ...the fact it works in one but not the other points to an issue with the second controller

The Xbox One Venom battery pack won't even fit in the Series X controller (or at least not without trimming bits off it)..as the OP can fit the pack with no issue, it suggests it's the right battery pack. Unless Venom have released more than one battery pack for the Series X?

No it's for the Xbox One X, the only difference is the clips on the battery cover, they are slightly further apart

Yeah, Venom cover this in their FAQs:

"Unfortunately due to the Series X/S controllers having a slightly smaller battery compartment we have had to create new batteries for our next gen products. Our Xbox One products will NOT be compatible, as with any other encased battery pack for Xbox One."

Venom rechargeable battery pack for me with a twin charging station so I always have a charged pack
