mesk Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 it seems the energizer rechargeable's are fatter then other batteries and after ahwile they stretch out the battery packs and the connects stop touching and the controller just keeps shutting off.While playing mortal kombat online last night this kept happening,as a result I kept losing which made me slam the controller off the floor.360 controllers bounce really high! So now im thinking of buying that new silver xbox cotroller the one with the redesigned d-pad.anyone currently own one of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Ok, let me get this straight. YOU put in fat batteries and and you assaulted your 360 wireless controller because it lost connection? MS must love ya! Anger management classes, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MS must love ya! Anger management classes, anyone? It DOES NOT say ANYWHERE in the console manual OR the manual that came with my second controller to not use rechargeable batteries,or to only use specific ones I called M$ and they are going to replace one of them for me,no charge TBH,I really cant believe I did that,lol it was a bad day all together and the controller paid the price LMAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I use a battery pack for mine, but I think it's a NyKo charging station. The battery packs fit perfectly. I have 2 silver xbox controllers for the xbox but admittedly I never use the xbox. GameEx really sucks up all my free time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mesk Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 @ Adultery you have the new controller,right? it came with the rechargeable batteries and it has the new d-pad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Yeah the d-pad has a 4-way that twists into the disc. I thought it looked silly but the kids love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kustom Kid Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Microcenter has replacement battery compartments for $2 I believe. I just snagged a refurb Xbox360 a few weeks ago and noticed my rechargeable batteries are a snug fit as well. Rayovacs not Energizer, but still fairly snug.

celly Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Poor 360 controller. Go info to know though. I want the 360 controllers that Adultery uses, which are those? Wired contollers suck, wish I would have went wireless from the get go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kustom Kid Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 At least they can take some abuse. I blew through 4 N64 controllers before I found a 3rd party one that was easily repairable. Turns out Killer Instinct Gold brought the rage out in people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I use these controllers, but you gotta get the rechargable battery pack seperate. My charging station came with 2 battery packs. You will also need this so your PC can "see" the controller (one reciever can handle 4 controllers with head set).Be advised if you decide to go that route that once your controller turns off windows takes it out of the controller menu as if it didn't exist. This in turn causes emulators to lose their mapping if you start the emu without all your controllers on. Xpadder came into the mix then, and it took awhile to set everything up just right, but was well worth it once it was all said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunk_4TH Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I use the play and charge kit that came with it's own rechargeable battery pack it was like $19 at Gamestop. I'm not sure if this will help though. I never had a problem with it. Been using it a year now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 How are the Nyko charging stations/batteries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I was mistaken, it's an Intec charging staion. It works great, and fits snugly in the bottom door of my coin door. Haven't really hardcore tested though, we'll see if they still work after 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Was just curious about the Nyko system as it has been out a awile and is sold in most of the big box stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I get most crap via mail order since I live in a small town, but NyKo stuff in general is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
