hello people..

need everyone's attention and opinion on my 360 wireless controller..

im currently using the standard AA battery..by pushing the xbox icon, the battery bars show 3 1/2 bars left

but, my controller keep disconnect d..

after changing to a new batt, it works fine..
is everyone's controller like that??i mean, after left 3 1/2 bars keep dc izzit??

thz for eveyone;s attention and opinion yea

what knda of batteries did you put in?

Battery meteres afaik are just V meters that measure the current the batteries are pushing out. But if let's say you stuck in ohhh.. acid batteries instead of akalines, it might be at a certain V level but it doesn't have enough capacity to make the thing run.

Well I'm sure some electrical engineer is gonna prove me wrong soon.

im using the everready batt.. left 3 1/2 bars oni woh..
but keep dc d..
yrs same??

i hve the same prob

use energizer and your controller will work fine(works for me)

if not,theres something prob with your controller

acid battery is not for the controller it seems.
always use the alkaline battery (energizer, duracell) for it as the current supplied by acid battery is not as strong as the alkaline batteries.

still got 3 and a half bars wo..

u mean using energizer will be better??

wat bout those using the play and charge battery??
still left 3 bars disconnected ah??

i've nvr used play n charge kits before, but the bars are not that accurate for normal batteries, even when im on rechargeable NiMH. does the ROL on the controller flash occasionally before it disconnects? that's my queue to swap batteries, not those bars on the guide.

it doesnt flash wo..
it jz disconnect straight away and is shown on the monitor..

the thing about acid battery and alkaline battery that makes it different is the current it produce..

alkaline batteries produce higher current needed for high strain devices like controllers, discman, mp3 players etc.

yes it does shows 3 and a half bars when you check, but is the current is sufficient to make the controller work?

err.. get what i mean? the difference between acid and alkaline?

ok.. so examples of acid and alkaline are wat ah??
energizer is wat and everready is wat??
thz yea ppl for helping

rule of the thumb is..
anything cheap = acid
anything expensive = alkaline

plus alkaline battery will always stamp "alkaline" word on the battery..

ermm..so, is yrs the same as mine??

u using alkaline or acid?? and when u used acid, izzit dc when it comes to 3 1/2 bars?

i've never used acid battery on my controller..
but from experience using acid on discman compared to using alkaline, that's where i draw my conclusion from.

i'm using energizer. only that brand seems to give me the mileage that i want.

yea..have u try it??

i use panasonic and duracell(ok2)..erm eveready was bad

and it alwasy dc in 2 min like that
damn annoying.

after using energizer,it works fine again

As others have suggested the problem might be with the batteries but I don't know for sure.

I've had my controller disconnecting problem for a few weeks until yesterday when I switched from using Eveready to IKEA(lol) batteries. Now my controller runs smoothly just like it should and I don't plan on buying Eveready again.

Then again, I could have been having some placebo effect.

i bought energizer rechargeable battery and working great... xD

the bad is..when battery almost empty will terus KO lol..

like some alkaline battery still can on few minutes...

eveready really is one of the most suckiest battery brand out there. get a rechargeable energizer.

ok.. but my question is, if the bars oni left 3 1/2 bars, wil it disconnected not??

let say, using energizer and other 'IKEA' batt.. will it keep dc??

well u can always try my friend.
it's just RM5.50 worth of investment.

ya,try it first.mine not dc

and if using other battery such as panasonic and eveready, the battery will be in 1-2 bar in just a few days
