Topic on Controller talk:Xbox Wireless Controller
No, older more degraded rechargeable NiMh batteries don't work with the CORE controller as the controller seems to draw more power when powering on. I have tested it with two different CORE controllers and it happens, while OLDER xbox one controllers work just fine. I'm not looking for help, I only had to buy new AA's, I just wanted to know if someone else that has the older and newer models can confirm it
