The controller did that flashing doo dah that shows the battery is low last night, so I've had it connected to the console all day and it's been charging.

Now I've been playing on the console most of the day but still the controller battery isnt fully charged? The charging light is still red and on the battery meter it shows 3 out of 4 bars. How long is it supposed to take to charge up?
 
I have a similar problem. Mine can sit on red light forever, it never goes to fully charge anymore, the battery just gets hotter :eek:

Where it used to take me just 2 or 3 hours to fully charge, it now never charges.
 
Well, it looks like a replacement is the order of the day, it shouldn't take longer than 3 hours to charge aparently.
 
I found the same thing happening except I was charging through the USB on my PC. If I put it on to charge as I was playing and the controller was already on, when I turned the Xbox off, the charging would go on until I unplugged it.

What I have found is that the controller needs to be reconnected after it has switched off. Now, if I plug the controller in to charge as I am playing, I will turn the Xbox off once I've finished and unplug the Play & Charge cable from the controller then re-connect it. After around 2 hours the light should go green.

HTH :)
 
I'm going to get a replacement as I now have the freepost address to send the item back to.
 
Got my replacement, was charged in 5 hours for it's first charge last night, and the battery got barely warm.

Where did you purchase it from? If you don't mind me asking .. or is it a competitor? :)
