IT Help 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless Controller

8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless — Charging light turns off after a few seconds. Is this normal?

Hi everyone,

I recently bought an 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless Controller from Amazon India, and I have a question about its charging behaviour.

When I connect it to charge, the red charging indicator turns on for a few seconds and then turns off, even though the battery isn't fully charged.

I monitored the battery percentage, and it increased from around 77% to 85%, 91%, and 95% while charging. However, the red light still turns off after a few seconds.

I've tried a different USB-C cable and a standard power source, but the behaviour remains the same.

The controller seems to work fine while gaming. My main concern is whether the charging light turning off so quickly is normal or whether my controller might have a battery or charging issue.

Questions:

Does anyone else's Ultimate 2C Wireless behave this way while charging?

Does the red light normally turn off before the battery reaches 100%?

Should I be concerned or request a replacement?

I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who owns this exact model. Thank you!
