I purchased the Xbox 360 play and charge kit. I have had it for over 2 months and it has just stopped charging when on the charger. It is not a faulty charger because when i unplug and plug the charger back in all the lights light up. Yet when I put the rechargeable battery on the charger it doesn't light up and it doesn't charge. How can I fix this?
ok make sure the battery pack in your controller is the rechargable type and if it is and it still dosnt work then maby the pattery back got worn out, how idk, maby u charged it to long once and it over heated
I took apart a dead Roomba Battery pack to see if I could replace a few cells and found that one of the battery's polarity had switched from negative to positive. I've never seen this. Luckily it was at a very low charge. Do you know how to reverse polarity on a NiMH battery so I can reuse it? Or am I out of luck?

I have a 8.2v battery pack (supposed to be 7.2v but its always around 8.5 when charged) that runs a circuit. The circuit has motors in it that turn on and off. I have a wireless cmos camera that taps into the same battery pack, the camera needs 8v. The unit works fine until the motors turn on then the camera shuts off for the duration of the motors being on. I had a similar problem before but it was downstream in the circuit after a voltage regulator, I stuck a large capacitor after the voltage regulator and it solved this problem. I tried putting a capacitor on the camera and it didnt seem to help much. Do I need a voltage regulator and a larger battery pack to do this or is there another way ? I'm thinking its not so much the current that is the problem but the reduction in voltage coming from the battery under heavy load, but I might be wrong. thanks !
Hi this sounds like a ni cad pack as used in model cars and boats and although they deliver high currents at times the voltage does drop very dramatically. so that may be the issue what you really need is something like a lead acid battery of a decent capacity as that will give you some over head voltage to use should the need arise. so you might need a voltage regulator for the lower power devices and the lead acid would provide a bit of extra capacity for more demanding motors. it's all about source impedance really.
I went swimming the other day and i had my waterproof camera with me i swam into the wall and the battery holder shot open so the memory card and the battery were exposed to water. i let them dry and the memory card works but when i put my battery in it makes a sizzling sound and does not turn on. is it broken? my battery charges when i put it in a charger or should i buy a new battery?
I'm sorry to tell you this, but I believe you have bigger problems than just your battery. Perhaps you should call Olympus for opinions and advice.
I foolishly burned out 2 green LEDs already since I provided too much voltage. The 2 green LEDs I need to light up have a forward voltage of 3.2 volts each. The battery pack has 3 AA rechargeable batteries, for a total of 3.6 V(1.2 V per battery). If I remove one battery, the LEDs won't light up at all. How can I reduce the voltage so it doesn't burn out my LEDs, do I need to use a resistor or can I use something else? If I need resistors, what kind of resistors should I use?
The other posters gave you the math - a good thing But this LED calculator may come handy as well metku /?sectviewn
i bought the limited edition red controller that came with the play and charge kit thing mid to late last year. recently my 360 red ringed :( but i got it back a few weeks ago, but since i couldn't play it my battery pack just died inside of it (i thnk i only had 2 cells left in it). but i have been playing with it plugged in to the 360 like i did when i would charge it. everything else works fine, but i don't know if maybe a few months from now if i should buy a new battery pack, switch to using real batteries, or just keep doing what i've been doing for the last couple of weeks.
And thats why i do not like wireless controller, they eat a lot of batteries A wired controller is the way to go!
Bought an xbox 360 arcade for the kids for xmas and a second wireless controller for it and the battery packs and charger station both controllers workfine with AA batterys in them yet when we try and use the 2 battery packs that came with the charging station only 1 of them will connect to the console at a time unless I use AA in one of the controllers and one battery pack in the other and it does not matter which controller 1 or 2 as long as we have 1 with AA's and 1 with the rechargeable pack yet we did the connect and they both are connected without using 2 rechargeable packs
Is it always the same battery pack that is unable to connect? Have you checked, that both battery packs are fully loaded? Put both packs into the charging station and let them charge until the lights both turn green. Normally both controllers should be able to connect correctly.
I have a 7.2v battery, and after I charge it , I use my battery volt tester, and it says the battery has 8.3v, and after the battery pack is almost dead, it says it has 7.3v. What does this mean? There's nothing wrong with my battery volt tester.
The load that the tester applies on the battery is very small(a few micro-Amps) so even if the battery is dead for the device that operates with it,it will be ok for the tester. When a rechargeable battery is fully charged its voltage is 10% higher then the nominal voltage(only for rechargeable batteries). If you want to test the battery use a small load on it(a 12V/2W) bulb light and with this load on test it with the voltmeter! good luck!
