A:AnswerIt does! The Microsoft batteries charge just as quick and last just as long when charged using the device. The only difference is the insignia batteries have indicators on them to tell you which way to put the batteries in. The Microsoft ones don't so you'll end up putting them in a few different ways before they lock into place.
A:AnswerNope, it states in the details that it doesn't cause any negative side effects for leaving a fully charged battery in the pack. My spare battery stays in it and the battery capacity hasn't changed yet. Very pleased.
A:AnswerYes, I have the same issues. If the product wasn't so cheap I would return them, but it gets the job done, but the drain on these are just atrocious.
A:AnswerI have two sets of these. One for each system we have. Both of lit up from day one. Maybe try unplugging the unit from the XB1 and remove the battery packs. Plug the charger back in and make sure it's snug and cannot be pushed in any further. Re insert the packs and see if it works. They should light up with the system on or off as long as the XB1 has power to the power plug. If not then swap for another setup at BBY.
A:AnswerIf the battery pack shows white in the charger, they are charged. If not when inserted light is red. Make sure battery pack is inserted correctly.
A:AnswerYou have to force them a little bit.
1. Make sure the label with the words is acing inwards towards the controller
2. insert the side with the nodes in first then push down on the opposite side
Hope that helps
A:AnswerNo you can't charge the battery pack while it's in ur controller with a USB port. The batteries can only be charged when they're plugged into the battery pack holder. I always have 1 fully charged and ready so when one battery pack dies I have one ready to go fully charged
