Charging Guidelines

Only use the included USB-C Charging Cable to connect to the Xbox Console.
Do not connect the USB-C Charge Cable to any USB-C AC adapters.
Do not charge your 1100 mAh Rechargeable Batteries on flammable surfaces or materials (e.g., mattresses, couches, or newspapers).
Do not leave batteries charging unattended for periods longer than the normal charging time. Unplug batteries or the charging device when batteries are fully charged to prevent overheating.
Ensure your controller or batteries have proper ventilation while charging. Do not cover the controller while charging.

Safety Warnings

Battery Leakage Warning:

Leakage of chemicals contained within the battery pack can cause personal injury and damage to the game controller.
Avoid allowing battery chemicals to contact skin. If contact occurs, immediately wash thoroughly with soap and water.
If liquid leaking from a battery pack comes into contact with your eyes, DO NOT RUB EYES! Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with clean running water and seek medical attention to prevent injury.

Battery Warning:

Do not attempt to repair the Ni-MH battery yourself, as this may damage the battery, potentially causing overheating, fire, and injury.
The NI-MH battery in this device should be serviced or recycled by PowerA or an authorized provider and must be recycled or disposed of separately from household waste.
Dispose of batteries according to your local environmental laws and guidelines.
Do not use or leave a device containing rechargeable batteries in a high-temperature environment (e.g., in strong direct sunlight, or in a vehicle in hot weather). High temperatures may cause batteries to overheat or catch fire, and may negatively affect battery performance or longevity.
Do not use a device containing rechargeable batteries in an environment with high levels of static electricity. Excessive static electricity can impair the batteries’ internal safety measures, increasing the risk of overheating or fire.
If the battery gives off an odor, generates heat, or appears abnormal in any way during use, recharging, or storage, immediately remove it from any charging device and place it in a sealed fireproof container (such as a metal box) or in a safe location away from people and flammable items.
Discarded batteries may cause fire. Do not heat the controller or battery, or place either in or near fire.
