Xbox 360 Quick Charge Kit
With the Xbox 360 Quick Charge Kit you can quickly recharge two Xbox 360™ rechargeable battery packs simultaneously. The kit is for use exclusively with the Xbox 360 Rechargeable Battery Pack for the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller.
The Quick Charge Kit comes with a charger, a power cord, and a NiMH rechargeable battery pack.
Important
Only use Microsoft approved rechargeable battery packs, identified by the Xbox 360 Compatible logo, with your wireless controller and quick charge kit. Use of unapproved battery packs may result in injury from burns, fire, or explosion.
Charge the Battery Pack
Charge your Xbox 360 Rechargeable Battery Pack before first use and whenever it is depleted.
To charge the battery pack using the quick charger:
- Insert the rechargeable battery pack into either battery compartment on the quick charger and push in to lock.
To avoid pinching your fingers when inserting, push only on the flat surface of the battery pack. - Connect the quick charger to power with the quick charger power cord.
The corresponding light on the quick charger will glow red as your battery pack charges. When the light switches to green, the battery pack is fully charged and can be removed for use with your wireless controller.
Important
Charge batteries only with the Xbox 360 Quick Charge Kit, the Xbox 360 Play & Charge Kit, or another Microsoft approved charger.
Use only the power cord that came with your quick charge kit or one that you received from an authorized repair center.
Install Your Battery Pack
Fitting the battery pack into your wireless controller is similar to inserting it into the Quick Charge Kit's charger.
To insert your rechargeable battery pack into your wireless controller:
- Press the tab on the top of the controller's AA battery pack and pull down to detach it from the controller.
- Insert the rechargeable battery pack into the battery compartment on the controller and push it in to lock.
To avoid pinching your fingers when inserting, push only on the flat surface of the battery pack.
If it is necessary to clean the charger's battery contacts, use only a dry cloth. Water or chemicals can damage the contacts.
Notes
- Typically, fully charging can take up to two hours for one new battery pack or four hours for two new battery packs using the Xbox 360 Quick Charge Kit. Actual charge times vary depending on the state or condition of the battery pack being charged.
- The battery or the charger may become warm during charging or use. This is normal and does not indicate a problem with the battery.
- Do not allow metal objects to touch the battery terminals; they can become hot and cause burns. For example, do not carry the battery in a pocket with keys or coins.
- If the battery is unused for a long time, it may lose its charge. If this occurs, simply recharge the battery normally.
- At first, or after storage for a long period of time, it can take from three to five full charge cycles for the battery pack to achieve its full capacity.
- The battery has a limited life. The amount of play time will decrease as the battery pack ages or after many recharge cycles. The battery pack needs to be replaced when play time becomes too short or when it can no longer be charged.
