“I 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?”

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.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Because the new Xbox controller is slightly smaller than older controllers, some third-party phone clips, batteries, and battery covers may not work. If you want to make your controller rechargeable, we recommend getting the Rechargeable Battery and USB-C Cable for Xbox Series X/S here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/microsoft-rechargeable-battery-usb-c-cable-for-xbox-series-x-and-xbox-series-s-black/6430661.p?skuId=6430661
