XBOX 360 Wireless Controller Rechargeable Battery

BestQuotient26 · Jan 13, 2017

I just bought a brand new XBOX 360 Wireless Controller that came with 2 AA batteries. It also says you can use a rechargeable battery with it instead of the 2 AA batteries.

I have some of the original wireless controllers with the original rechargeable batteries. Do those batteries work with the new controllers or do I need to buy a new kind of rechargeable battery?

Thanks.

the charging station is strange

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.

What do you mean by "original wireless controllers with original rechargeable batteries"?

The Xbox 360 controller will accept a battery pack if it's able to clip on the back like the empty packs that take 2x AA batteries.

If you are planning on buying new rechargeable batteries, I recommend rechargeable AA batteries, like ones made by Duracell, Energizer, or such. Get high power rating like 2400mAh for the longest lasting amount of power. I've got the Duracell ones (often
colored green), and they're working great.

The wireless controllers I have are the ones that were first released many years ago. The rechargeable battery pack doesn't have space for 2x AA batteries.

I bought a new wireless controller and was surprised that it came with 2x AA batteries. I have not been able to get this new model of wireless controller to work with my XBOX 360 yet. I still need to do some troubleshooting.

Thanks for you help.

I'm afraid not. The controller will not recharge standard rechargeable batteries whilst they are in the controller. See here for more information -

To resolve this issue, determine the faulty component and then replace that component:

The Xbox One Wireless Controller

To troubleshoot the wireless controller, try using AA batteries, or try a different Xbox One Rechargeable Battery Pack to verify that nothing is wrong with the controller. If the controller works with different batteries, it isn't causing the issue.

The Xbox One Play & Charge cable

To check whether the cable is the problem, try a different Play & Charge cable (or any standard USB to micro-USB cable) to charge the battery. If the battery charges correctly with a different cable, your charge cable is faulty.

The rechargeable battery

To troubleshoot the rechargeable battery, try the following:

Use a cotton swab and some isopropyl alcohol to clean the four gold contacts on the Xbox One Rechargeable Battery Pack and on the Xbox One Wireless Controller. Then try to charge the battery again.

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