My left controller had stopped working so I returned it to get a new one. I received a refurbished one and I'm trying to pair it. For some reason the pairing didn't start when I put in the original battery that was in the previous one. I put in a new battery, nothing. I took the battery out of the right controller and put it in the left one and it started pairing. The controller's firmware started updating and it has been updating for over an hour now. Is there something I can do to make this go faster or do I have to just wait until it finishes?

@RadiantToucan7543 it's probably best to wait for it to finish updating. You might also have a look at this video if certain batteries are working and some are not -

The controller update completed and it is working fine now. I have not figured out this issue with the batteries. I guess it will need to try different batteries to see which one will work.
