Batteries wont fit?

[Ill-k]

Well as the topic says.
i bought rechargeable batteries (gp power bank) and they wont fit my controller.
It is the right size (aa). I noticed they where little thicker then the original i got but anyway it's still AA. and when i "pushed" the in the controller just blinked and nothing more happends...anyone got a clue why they dont fit?
:(

Just get the official microsoft battery pack. Less hassle. And they are doing me proud!

i have one set of play and charge. and becouse im getting a wii also i thought rechargeble would be better and cheaper!

I also recommend the ms battery pack w. charger. Buy a spare battery too. Far easier and the battery lasts an age before needing a re-charge.

Are the batteries Ni-MH or Ni-Ca? Most electronic devices only accept Nickel Metalhydride (Ni-MH) and not Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Ca). Also did you charge them first? Stupid question yeah and I hope you have a charger also, the 360 Controller doesn't recharge the batteries for you. :)

It may seem cheap but postage is far too much and you can get it from Play.com or Gameplay.co.uk for £12.99 with free delivery :)
