Xbox One Play and Charge error with new controllers

But the rechargeable battery is my biggest issue with my PS4 controller is that it feels like I'm always charging controller where my Xbox One controller with play and charge kit attached lasts for ages between charges.

In addition to this if my play and charge battery dies I can just buy a new battery and not have to buy a complete new controller.

Hi Lord Norr.

This is a problem with your Play and Charge Kit, not the controller. One of my controllers used to do the exact same thing until I replaced it with a new charge kit.

It depends what charging station you mean.

If it's a charging station that plugs into the Micro USB port of the current Xbox One controllers, then it won't work, as the new controllers have an USB C type connector instead of the Micro USB connector.

If it's a third party charging station that comes with a special battery pack that has charging contacts on the outside, it might be possible that it still works.

But since you can use your existing Xbox One controllers on the Series X directly, you shouldn't need to use the new controller type, unless you really need to use the new share button.

So you can still use a Xbox One controller with a Xbox One charging station on the Xbox Series X.

As far as I'm aware, the play and charge controller is only for charging. Unlike the Xbox one controller, it does not turn teh wireless controller into a wired one. When you use the Play and Charge cable, your controller is still talking to the Xbox 360
wirelessly.

The wireless receiver is your best bet. That or, an actual wired controller.

Hope this helps.

So recently i noticed my old play and charge kit was dying pretty fast and whenever i plugged it in to charge it would say it was fully charged already, which i knew it wasn’t. So i went out and bought a new one thinking that would fix the problem. Turns
out it doesn’t charge at all either. I don’t know what the problem is. The controller works fine if i leave it plugged in or put batteries in but it won’t charge with the play & charge kit for some reason.

Forgot to mention but everything is up to date, the console and controller.

Its an Xbox One X and a Xbox One Elite controller, a white one.

It seems u have a working controller.. May be the slot for the battery whuch supports play and charge kit isn't working and ur battery is not helping either.. If u have another controller try the kit on that and if the problem persists do send the controller
for repair ...
