How do you charge an Xbox 360 controller?
To charge a standard Xbox 360 wireless controller, you need a Play & Charge Kit, which includes a rechargeable battery pack and a charging cable. Just attach the battery pack to your controller and plug in the cable to your Xbox 360 console or any USB power source.

Wait, Xbox 360 controllers don't charge. You either need the Play & Charge Kit or just use AA batteries. Simple as that.
You can't charge the regular Xbox 360 wireless controller directly without a Play & Charge Kit. If you don't have one, you can use AA batteries or get a third-party rechargeable battery pack.
I remember getting the Play & Charge Kit for my Xbox 360 back in the day. It was super easy: just plug the cable into the controller and the console, and you're good to go. Total game-changer!
