plug in the USB cable to charge prior to initial pairing. Get up to 20 hours
of gameplay when fully charged (other variables affect playtime).

BATTERY WARNING
Don’t attempt to replace the rechargeable battery yourself – you may damage
the battery, which could cause overheating, fire, and injury. The Lithium-ion
battery in your device should be serviced or recycled by PowerA or an
authorized provider and must be recycled or disposed of separately from
household waste.
Dispose of batteries according to your local environmental laws and
guidelines.
Don’t use or leave the product containing rechargeable batteries exposed to
very high temperatures (e.g. at strong direct sunlight or in a vehicle in
extremely hot weather). Otherwise, it can overheat, catch fire, or the
performance will degenerate, and the service life will
be shortened.
Don’t use the rechargeable battery item in a location where static electricity
is rich, otherwise, the internal safety devices may be damaged, causing a
harmful situation.
In case the electrolyte gets into the eyes due to the leakage of the battery,
do not rub the eyes. Rinse eyes with clean running water and seek medical
attention immediately. Otherwise, it may injure eyes or cause a loss of sight.
If the battery gives off an odor, generates heat, or in any way appears
abnormal during use, recharging, or storage, immediately remove it from the
battery charger and place it in a contained vessel such as a metal box.
Be aware discarded batteries may cause fire, do not heat the controller or
throw it into the fire.
