Play & Charge kit issues?

[NorthstaNder]

Hi there,

Does anyone know if there are any issues with the 360 play & charge kit? All of a sudden mine doesn't hold a charge for more than 2 or 3 days, when previously it would last 7 to 8 days.

I have also just got a brand new controller so I wondered if it was because I was using an old battery in a new controller, or could it just be coincidence?

I realise rechargeable batteries don't last forever, so maybe I've done well to get 2 years out of my current play & charge kit and it's time to get a new one?

You can buy a new battery on its own

You're not playing more frequently are you?

Also, are you watching the battery indicator on the profile blade or are you waiting for the controller to start flashing? If its the former, ignore it. Regardless of what batteries I use, the indicator seems to just display a random value

Are you only plugging it in when it is really dead?

i usually plug it in once the lights start to spin. but last night i let the controller turn off, then charged it.
