|  BATTERY PACK CHARGER..help
hi.
I just bought the Battery Charger and an extra battery pack for the controller.
Well my question is, is it bad for the batteries and the charger if i leave the battery packs hooked upto it 24/7 and is it bad for the charger if i leave it on 24/7?
thanks,
austin |

I'm not exactly sure myself, I was gonna get this myself, so it'd be good to kno for me also...
I'm assuming it wouldn't hurt it tho, maybe when the battery gets charged it will just run off the cord, until you unplug it then it would start to use the battery? That's all out of assumption tho... | |

I dont see why it would be bad. I personally do not have the play and charge kit or anything like that but i highly doubt anything would happen. So you should be fine man.

Well once you have it at 100%, there is no point in keeping it on, but I don't think it would hurt.

I have it and it is a good product. I got this and my 360 near Christmas and both have run good. Over the last few months, the cord stopped working, so I bought a new one. Recently, the old battery pack has a short life of about 4-5 hours when it was 25 hrs. I don't know what it's from, but if you bought this to keep your WIRELESS controller charged, don't make it a cord controller by leaving it in all the time. Charge it when you aren't playing. I don't suggest leaving it charging overnight though because it will use your 360's power during the whole time whether it is on or not.

No matter what thing you are charging, cell phone, ipod, xbox controller, over charging decreases the life of the item. Not necessarliy immediatly, but over time.

Ive left it plugged in overnight, and also for long periods of time and have never had a problem with it yet. Ive even used it as just a cord controller, and I havnt had any problems yet. | |
