i have problems with my play n charge kit as well.. my experience is.. then i turn off the console while the play n charge kit is still attached.. it'll charge the battery when the console is turned off.. after the battery is fully charged, i unplugged the play n charge cable off the controller, it still 'spins' around! means that it's low on battery! you guys think it's the contact? i'll try to take out the battery and clean it with something and try again.. else i'm gonna need another play n charge kit..
