Wireless controller for Elite just stopped charging

Hi all,

I was wondering if this has happened anyone else. I got the Xbox Elite about 10/11 months ago - i havent been playing it that much lately until last week when i decided to give it a bash but the problem is the controller wont work.

Once i plug it in the green light comes on and i can play but the battery wont charge...i thought it might of been an issue that i hadnt charged it in so long but i've left it overnight and everything and it still wont charge!!

Have i got a faulty battery or is there any solution???

Forget the quick charge kit. It's not worth the trouble and can be highly aggravating at times


IMO, you're better off with these

Re: Wireless controller for Elite just stopped charging

i think i might go down that route seeing as this quick charge thing has stopped working..and its not like i've been using the controller excessively - my ps3 one gets a lot more use and its still going strong...maybe thats for a different discussion though

thanks for the help

Re: Wireless controller for Elite just stopped charging

Also, the kit is overly expensive. It should be £4.99 inc VAT cos it's just a pair of cheap 2100mah batts and a long USB cable.

Anyway, I used have the quick charger kit, but now I use the Uniross charger.
