How to Disassemble the Xbox 360 Rechargeable Battery Pack

Open the Battery Housing

• 1

  Slide the flathead screw driver between the two halves of the battery pack.

• 2

  Apply light pressure in an upward and downward motion to loosen the bond between the two halves. Do this very gently to avoid cracking the casing.

• 3

  Work your way around the whole battery pack to separate the two halves.

• 4

  Pull the two halves apart.

Remove the Batteries

• 5

  Take note of the direction the batteries are facing before you remove them. You need to install the new batteries with the terminals facing the same direction.

• 6

  Peel the wire leads from the ends of the batteries and remove the old batteries.

• 7

  Hold the two new NiMH rechargeable batteries in the same direction as the old ones and wrap a piece of electrical tape around the batteries. The tape will prevent the batteries from becoming dislodged during play.

• 8

  Insert the new batteries into the pack in the same direction as the old ones.

• 9

  Attach the wire leads and place a small piece of electrical tape over the ends to hold them in place if needed.

Close the Pack

• 10

  Spread a small amount of super glue around the edges of the battery pack and press the two halves back together.

• 11

  Allow several minutes for the glue to fully dry before handling.

• 12

  Insert the battery pack back into the Xbox 360 controller, connect it to a charging station and allow for at least six hours to fully charge.
