Xbox one controller draining batteries in minutes just all of a sudden started was fine...

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today despite this Jenking83

Exists the possibility that the energy is draining inside the controller. If you tried with new batteries and the issue persists the best option is request a replacement controller if it's on warranty.

For this you can do it via your Devices page:

https://account.microsoft.com/devices.

Or you can use this specific link for controllers:

https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/...

Just to let everyone know, that after a few weeks of doing the following:

• 15 minutes of use
• Controller complains battery is low
• Controller turns off
• Turn back on controller
• Repeat until controller will not turn on (battery drained)
• Charge overnight

All of a sudden, it now seems to be working how it should. Will now go for a whole week without complaining and the battery charge level slowly decreased through time (unlike before where it would show full and then flat within 15 minutes, then go full again
when you turn it back on).

How bizarre !!

Thanks for your help though, much appreciated.

I got a wireless controller adapter and a xbox one controller for my pc. Everything works just fine for the first 30 minuites then all of a sudden whatever game it starts lagging. On some games it even freezes. If i put my batteries out and back
in the controller it the lag disapears. What can I do to solve this issue?

Turn on your Xbox one manually Update the controller following these instructions:

Also try a hard reset, remove all batteries and usb cable and hold on the power button on the controller for a minute to drain all residual electricity in the controller, then plug the battery back in, try also brand new AA batteries, I personally prefer
these batteries http://goo.gl/TZJme8 for both my Xbox One controller and Scuf One Controller and if all these don't resolve your problem you will need a new controller. See if the one you have is still under
warranty, if yes you can send it back and get a free replacement.

Heads up owners of Xbox Media One Remote! If all of a sudden your option does not appear to shut down the console while holding down the Xbox button and all else works fine....its your batteries. Long story shorter here. I haven't had this remote very long
and most remote batteries(duracell, in this case) last for many months. Well falling asleep with it on your bed many a night was clearly causing the light to go on and off draining the batteries that much faster. Odd that it still functioned otherwise except
the power down option. FYI
