I charge the Gamepad using the packaged AC adapter through the charging cradle/stand. It charges fine when the AC adapter is plugged directly into the wall, but currently, I have it set up with an extension cord plugged into the wall socket. It charges sometimes, but often, when I put the Gamepad back on the stand, it will not charge at all. Then I have to unplug the AC adapter from the extension cord and fiddle around with the connection in order to get it to start charging again.
I have tried 3 different extension cords, of varying lengths (between 6 and 15 feet), but the problem seems to be recurring. I know one solution is to plug the AC adapter directly into the wall socket, but I'm looking for some more help with the extension cord issue. Thanks.
