OK, whats up with the BATTERY POWER indicator?

[JayBee74]

I will say this, I've gotten a lot of wireless playing time out of one set of batteries, but both my regular batteries and the battery pack have 75% power left, according to the power indicator shown on the dashboard. Considering you're suppose to get 30-40 hours out of one charge that does not compute.

My batteries died in my controller last night and the menu still had 3 bars. It doesn't work correctly.

Same here, my controller just kept saying please reconnect the wireless controller..but the menu still showed 2-3 bars.

I don't know if its supposed to be that way but i put fresh batteries in and it only shows 3/4 life.I know that when the batteries start to die out the indicator did show half or less

Where is the battery power indicator on the dashboard? Does it only show the indicator when you're plugged in by the play and charge kit?

When you press the Xbox button(silver with the green X) a page comes up look at the top left coner you will see a small battery and the life left for the batteries you have in the controller

Mine always showed 3 out of 4 bars since I put them in. It's a broke feature obviously.

I'm definitely leaning toward exclusive use of the 15 MINUTE battery charger over the battery pack for both my controllers. After 2 hours of PC charging my battery pack is still not fully charged. My Duracell fueled controller was up and running in the time it took me to take the dog out and make a sandwich.

I'm pretty sure the isntructions say it takes up to 6 hours to fully recharge. That's a damn long time...

thats why you charge it in your PC before you go to sleep and then when you wake up, done. A complete charge.
