Can you charge the controllers with the skin on them? I have a glow in the dark skin cover on one of my controllers and its a pain to have to take off

It will charge with it on, but it's tough to get it in the charging port just right.

I have a silicone skin that's kind of a pain to take off, and I never could get it to charge 100% with the skin on. It will stay on the charger, but only charge to about 80%.

I'm not sure about that. I never used any skins. It plugs into the controller receptical and wraps over the top enough to cover the words "sony" on the top. If the skin covers the words "sony" it probably won't work. Hope this helps, sorry I don't have a definately answer for you

the port is a really tight fit. it probably wouldn't work with a skin or anything else that would impede the connection in the slightest.

they are a pretty tight fit on the stand so i would say for the area it has to connect you would need to move the cover off.

I had to charge mine. I put them in my charger and it noted them at the bottom of the "charge bar" on the display and it took several hours to get them to full charge. Based on my experience I would say they are not "pre-charged" at all.

These are intended for use with Nyko's dual charger which does not require removing the batteries from the controllers to charge them. You just set the controller directly on the charger. They also work just fine with charge and play cables so it's a pretty safe assumption that they will work with the PDP/Energizer charger, too, since it connects to the same port. They will also work with any standalone charger that requires the battery to be removed from the controller. I've been using them for years and they have held up very well.

Yes, a battery pack and charging cable come with it, the controller is new and does come in black. There may be an alternate option to get in other colors but it didn't matter me to me at the time.

I'm pretty sure it was a private seller (Prestige Costume Controllers) that made them, not a large company. I had a very positive experience. I actually received a dud controller and he just sent me a second one for free and even told me how to fix the dud. 2 x controllers for about $80 that would have cost $300 at SCUF... For that price, I don't care about warranties.

Anytime you have a glowing light on something (i.e my kindle fire charging) just cut a small piece of black electrical tape and cover it. I do this for all my annoying glowing lights. I had a razer mouse which I took apart and pulled out the light bulb. I didn't need a mouse scaring me at night!

It will charge the controller slowly. If you play games on the controller while charging. It will eventually turn off on you.

the batteries i got were in the retail packaging just a bit of a damaged box. The batteries themselves are duracell. The only negative thing I noticed is that these batteries did not last very long. they did the trick for a while for a wii u controller and xbox controller for a month or so then new batteries were needed. Perhaps it's because of how much use and power these particular devices take up? I'm not sure.

From my experience the battery does not last longer than 5 hours but it's a not a big deal for me because I don't play all day. You can buy 2 gamepads and always keep one charging if you wanna play all day.

Yes, this charges great with the skin on it. I never take my skin off to charge it and have never had a problem with it not charging.

That totally happened to me. As I said in my review, after switching controllers, I eventually found one that worked. So, I would suggest using different controllers as the charging point until you find the one that will work consistently. If you only have one controller... I don't know what to tell you.

Nothing it just stays charged until you are ready for it. I do it all the time. I leave one of my 2 plugged in to the station at all times that way when I need a controller that works I can swap them out and continue play like nothing ever happened.

I have had the play and charge for Xbox 360 and up graded to the nyko power kit when I got my xbox one. The nyko kit is way better. Controllers are always charged and ready to go. Really like the charging kit from nyko

These rechargeable batteries are better choice! I've played for 6-8 hours with my surround sound headphones with Mic and the first battery has yet to die on me. I haven't needed to put the second battery in yet. charging is easy. Just place you controller on there charging base. Has room for two controllers. So if you have a second controller you can just switch controllers which is fast than switching battery packs.

Yeah pretty much, and that's how I ran my Xbox 360 controllers, but I do recommend this, because changing out the batteries and charging them is annoying, this is a much better solution in my honest opinion.

This charger is actually pretty forgiving in the placement of the controller. However, it depends on a special battery and cover to make contact with the base. If the skin covers parts of the middle-back part of the controller, or over the battery case, then no it probably won't work unless you do some custom modification to the skin.

No, the charger has an automatic shutoff so it won't keep charging. It's designed to hold the controllers until you are ready to use.
