Ever wondered what kind of official Microsoft Xbox 360 Rechargeable Battery is in the Xbox 360 Play and Charge Kit? I’ll bust one open and show you what kind of cheap crap they’re made with!
Don’t waste your money. Use a proper pair of NiMH AA’s with the stock battery case that comes with the controller! Get one of these:
If you want a set of “warranty voiders” like I have, this is the set that I use

1
00:00:00,000 –> 00:00:04,789
so have you ever wondered what’s inside
2
00:00:04,789 –> 00:00:04,799
3
00:00:04,799 –> 00:00:08,509

4
00:00:08,509 –> 00:00:08,519
5
00:00:08,519 –> 00:00:10,759
battery packs
6
00:00:10,759 –> 00:00:10,769
7
00:00:10,769 –> 00:00:16,250
well I have one and obviously and the
8
00:00:16,250 –> 00:00:16,260
9
00:00:16,260 –> 00:00:19,160
controller in the battery i hadn’t played for a
10
00:00:19,160 –> 00:00:19,170
11
00:00:19,170 –> 00:00:21,620
while and so the battery has just gone
12
00:00:21,620 –> 00:00:21,630
13
00:00:21,630 –> 00:00:24,230
absolutely dead I mean it is dead as
14
00:00:24,230 –> 00:00:24,240
15
00:00:24,240 –> 00:00:27,470
dead as dead and I cannot get it to
16
00:00:27,470 –> 00:00:27,480
17
00:00:27,480 –> 00:00:29,900
charge for the life of me I even tried
18
00:00:29,900 –> 00:00:29,910
19
00:00:29,910 –> 00:00:31,429
that silly little trick that they’re
20
00:00:31,429 –> 00:00:31,439
21
00:00:31,439 –> 00:00:34,490
talking about on youtube of shorting out
22
00:00:34,490 –> 00:00:34,500
23
00:00:34,500 –> 00:00:36,920
the terminals in order to discharge the
24
00:00:36,920 –> 00:00:36,930
25
00:00:36,930 –> 00:00:38,690
battery and then reset the logic board
26
00:00:38,690 –> 00:00:38,700
27
00:00:38,700 –> 00:00:43,130
but no that’s not going well I mean
28
00:00:43,130 –> 00:00:43,140
29
00:00:43,140 –> 00:00:45,770
I got nothing to lose so i tried it just
30
00:00:45,770 –> 00:00:45,780
31
00:00:45,780 –> 00:00:47,330
for the hell of it it still doesn’t work
32
00:00:47,330 –> 00:00:47,340
33
00:00:47,340 –> 00:00:50,750
and if it didn’t work before it sure as
34
00:00:50,750 –> 00:00:50,760
35
00:00:50,760 –> 00:00:53,420
hell don’t work now so I was kind of
36
00:00:53,420 –> 00:00:53,430
37
00:00:53,430 –> 00:00:55,580
curious as to what was inside this thing
38
00:00:55,580 –> 00:00:55,590
39
00:00:55,590 –> 00:00:58,970
so I pulled out my my handy-dandy
40
00:00:58,970 –> 00:00:58,980
41
00:00:58,980 –> 00:01:04,490
warranty voiding kit and I cracked her
42
00:01:04,490 –> 00:01:04,500
43
00:01:04,500 –> 00:01:06,350
open so if you want to know what’s
44
00:01:06,350 –> 00:01:06,360
45
00:01:06,360 –> 00:01:11,270
inside a battery already busted it open
46
00:01:11,270 –> 00:01:11,280
47
00:01:11,280 –> 00:01:12,740
and put it back together just for
48
00:01:12,740 –> 00:01:12,750
49
00:01:12,750 –> 00:01:15,440
simplicity but anyway if you want to
50
00:01:15,440 –> 00:01:15,450
51
00:01:15,450 –> 00:01:17,210
know what’s inside one of these silly
52
00:01:17,210 –> 00:01:17,220
53
00:01:17,220 –> 00:01:19,850
things so you take that there and
54
00:01:19,850 –> 00:01:19,860
55
00:01:19,860 –> 00:01:23,330
there’s a spring thingy and it is really
56
00:01:23,330 –> 00:01:23,340
57
00:01:23,340 –> 00:01:28,940
it’s just two generic 2400 miliamp hour
58
00:01:28,940 –> 00:01:28,950
59
00:01:28,950 –> 00:01:33,859
