Q: QuestionI recently bought this controller for my Xbox one and went to set it up when I got home with my rechargeable batteries, but they don’t seem to work. Did they make it to where older rechargeable batteries don’t work with the new controllers?

Asked 5 years ago by pcmasterace.

• A:Answer The form factor of the back is slightly different so you'll need a new charger as the back cover is different. That said older rechargeable packs can be charged separately and then installed in the controller. Another option is to buy a new Xbox Series rechargeable battery pack (using the cover the controller came with) an then charge it via USB-C. This time around there are two sets of battery pins inside. I'm guessing that it won't charge older packs or rechargeable AA batteries via USB-C so that people wouldn't damage their controller by accidentally charging standard AA batteries, hence the second set of charging pins.

Q: QuestionWhat type of USB connector plugs into this unit- USB A or USB C? If one uses a USB cable does that mean the wired connection makes batteries unnecessary? Does the unit come with any connector cables, like USB cables? What accessories come in the box?

Q: QuestionCan this controller connect to a tv by itself like a vizio tv for example or does it have to be connected to a game console first in order to work?

Asked 2 years ago by Beastart159.

This question was asked about the related product: Microsoft - Xbox Wireless Controller for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PCs, and Cloud-Enabled Devices - Stellar Shift Special Edition

• A:Answer Because it has bluetooth capabilities, as long as the TV supports it, you should be able to directly connect to the TV. I know samsung TV's support that. You don't have to connect it to a game console first. In fact, I have purchased a few xbox controllers just to use with my PC, iPad, or apple tv 4k without ever connecting it to a xbox console. Hope this helps.
