360 pad wont charge

[Langlest]

i just started playing my 360 again after not using it for about 6 months and the battery pack wont charge anymore, playing with the cable doesnt bother me but when i turn off the system it stays in a low power mode where it is trying to charge the controller

anyone know of a way to fix a battery that will no longer charge? if not ill buy a new one

its probably dead get a new one.

I'm using those 4800Mah from fleebay and they are great because they last way longer than the official batteries and also cheap too.

I dont use my pad too often and suffer this problem...

Cure...

Connect cable and wait a few seconds till the charge LED changes colour, unplug cable, then rince and repeat, I normally have to do this several times before the charge light will stay on and actually charge the pack

Mine sometimes just charges for hours on end and doesn't turn off resulting in a nice hot battery. >.<

thanks for the replies ill try what UKDTweak said and if that fails then its time to get a new battery


edit:
ok so i just realised that im a idiot, i decided to use the charge cable on my pc instead to save turning on the 360 and as i plugged the cable into the pad i felt the battery pack snap into place no wonder it wasnt charging for me
