Remember that rechargable batteries or different types/brands aren't always recharged in the same way. Charging the wrong types inside the controller can screw up the controller. To be safe, charge the batteries in their proper charger.


well if they are the same type of battery (most likely ni-mh), then they will eb fine to be charged in the controller. that is is there isnt a 'secret switch' so that only ms batteries can be charged. but that can be easily fixed

Yeah, they thought of that. The regular (AA) battery packs are missing the charge connector.

yeah, 25 hours is what m$ has stated. but you can easily replace teh batteries with higher amperage ones, and you will get a lot more time out of them.

by the way, can someone please have a look, and see if the batteries say what ampage they are rated at?


The rechargeable battery pack itself does not, but inside the controller it states: 5V 450mA
