The Xbox 360 wireless controller uses a battery holder to hold the AA batteries in place. The battery holder is then attached onto the back of the gamepad controller. This allows the batteries to make direct contact with the metal pins and provide power to it. If you have removed the battery holder incorrectly or have forced it out, the plastic clips will break off. If this happens, the battery cover will not hold onto the back of the controller and it will fall off. To fix this problem, you can use insulation tape to hold it down in place and prevent it falling out if its loose.
1) Ensure that the batteries are fully charged and are inserted the correct way around. As you don't want to be removing the batteries later on, when you have held it in place permanently with tape.
2) Obtain your Xbox 360 controller and turn it upside down. Then line up the battery cover with its battery bay compartment and push it in place. Keep holding it in that position and don't let go.
3) Next obtain a roll of insulation tape. This is the best type of tape to use because if you want to remove it later on, it won't leave strong glue residue on the plastic. So cut some tape off the roll and attach it onto the back of the battery holder. The tape will now hold the battery holder in place and prevent it falling off, when using the controller.
