I use regular rechargeable Ni-MH AA batteries in my Xbox360 controllers, which I charge in a regular AA battery charger. Since the Xbox 360 Play & Charge Kit batteries are just Ni-MH batteries, just like the ones I'm using, can I use the Xbox 360 Play & Charge Kit cable to charge those batteries as well?

No. I tried, never worked. ---- |

The charge and play kit has circuitry in the battery pack that connects to the 4 pins in the battery compartment of your controller. The power connectors that the batteries connect to in order to feed the controller don't charge the batteries. Unless you can get the appropriate casing for your rechargeables, it won't work with the charge and play kit. |

i have a pad that uses special rechargeable batteries with usb attached , and it did not recharge them when i accedently used the cable on them. they kept being uncharged after 15minutes or so until i realized the mistake. i have never tried normal Ni-MH batteries though so i can't be fully sure. |

No they can't be charged that way. I recommend using something like one of these charging stations. I purchased that one when I bought my 360 and haven't been disappointed once with it. Always charged and doubles as a holder for the controllers when not in use. |
