How to charge xbox 360 slim controller?

• I plugged the plug and play kit into the console and the controller, when it's on, i can charge it, the light on the charge kit is red, but when i shut down the console, the light go off, and then i turn on the console again, the light is green, anyone knows how to charge it when the console is off? I'm using the rechargeable battery pack for the xbox 360 slim controller. That's why i'm asking this

• Answer:

  You can't charge the controller when the console is off. At least, when your play and charge kit is plugged in, you can push the console's power button and that will put the console in low power mode where you can still charge the controller.
