This sounds more normal - mine is red while charging and turns green to show it is fully charged.

i left it overnight with the green light on. I checked it, and it didn't charge at all. WTF.

Important

Damaged battery packs will not charge and could harm your controller. Battery packs that have been crushed, immersed in liquids, or exposed to intense heat may be damaged beyond use and should be disposed of in accordance with local laws.

Clean Your Battery Pack

If it is necessary to clean the battery contacts, use only a dry cloth. Water or chemicals can damage the contacts.

• Fully charging the battery can take up to six hours using the play & charge kit.
• The battery may become warm during charging or use. This is normal and does not indicate a problem with the battery.
• If the battery is unused for a long time, it may lose its charge. If this occurs, simply recharge the battery normally.
• Very depleted rechargeable battery packs can take up to 20 minutes to charge enough to power a controller for use with the play & charge kit.
• Remove and store the rechargeable battery pack when not using the controller for a month or longer.
• 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.

happens when you charge the battery when is not fully depleted, if you keep charging undepleted batteries they start to charge only from that point on, it's a very common problem with any kind of rechargable batteries.hrah

The play and charge kit cable ALWAYS glows green when plugged in. It means its charging the conroller. Only the battery station has a red/green light system. So your ok. Green means its charging your controller. You'll just have to hit the guid button and look on the dashboard to see how charged the controller is.Astral_Vapor

Uhh no....if the charger is glowing red it means its charging, if its green it means its fully charged.

WRONG!!! they show a red light when chargeing and a green light when charged. Mine has done this twice once it did it with a second hand one of ebay. Then after a few months my brand new one died. Its only the battery pack that died.

It's happened to me a few times, so I'll tell you what I did, not saying it works but ya know...

All I did was change the recharable battery pack to my other controller, and for some reason it works again...when it did it again, I switched it back to my other controller and tada...it works? I'm not sure why it does that, but I've had it since launch xbox and haven't bought a new battery pack or anything yet.

Also, yes red is when it's charging, even when plugged in while playing it will be red. It changes green when it finishes, though it shouldn't really ever be green while your playing considering your using some "juice" the whole time too.

Hope that helps.

same thing happens to me my battery is dead then when i plug in the play and charge kit it goes straight to green light i have tryed a new play and charge cable and a new battery but still nothing happens i got my xbox nearly a year ago and got play and charge kitin march last year

i have dropped controller couple of times lol. does anyone have any ideas wat it the problem could be and have you got any ideas wat i could do to try and find out maybe trying a new controller.

thank you for any help.

When i plug it in my controller, the light does not show a red light, it turns to green automatically even though it's drained it is still color green. what's happening. and my contoller dies out even though the battery is full. help please thanks. Liana_o3

Had the same problem with 2 of the 3 batteries I have. I just bought a plug and play charger and the batteries charge fine. I've read other people have the same problem so it's an issue with the product itself. Not very surprising, given it is Microsoft.

I find that the charge packs are crap and break frequently...probably gonna have to go get a new one

completely off topic, but did you take the pic in your sig yourself or snag it from somewhere? reason i ask is it looks -exactly- like the schoolyard down the street from my house. ---exactly--- like it.

This actually works.

Plug it in, unplug it.

Do this about 20 times or so and it should repower the batteries.

When a rechargeable battery sits somewhere long enough it dies.

If you follow these steps it should repower the battery and be ready for charging.
