Xbox – Troubleshoot continually reconnecting controllers

I am assuming you are using a wireless Controller as well. I have had so many issues with wireless controllers and headsets that I now use a wired controller and a wired headset. However my wife uses a Turtle Beach headset and a wireless controller and has never had an issue. They are a little expensive but Turtle Beach headsets are really good.

When it comes to power for expensive electronics, and potentially shoddy chemical storage units you're going to be holding in your hand, I tend to err on the side of caution.

Pretty much every controller vendor sells a rechargeable battery pack, which will last you far longer and be far safer for you than using cheap batteries off-spec.

The risk of it damaging your controller or leaking on you or your property is not worth the cost savings of using a battery that isn't rated for use in the device you're using it in.

Plus, think about how irritating changing the batteries in your controllers is, especially when you're trying to do something tricky or play online. Now you're increasing the frequency of that annoyance. It would be like buying 1/4th size toilet paper rolls... that dispense toilet paper potentially laced with battery acid.

So are they safe? NO!
