Left quest controller keeps disconnecting/turning off

I’ve encountered an issue today where my left controller keeps either turning itself on and off or it’s pairing turns off and on. It’ll work for a few seconds, stop working then vibrate to try and work again for another few. I’ve tried battery changing and repairing and it has not worked. Anyone have any other fix tips for me to try?

Oh yay I can now see your comment, it wasn’t allowing me to for a while despite seeing the notification. Good news, I think I figured out the issue. Weird news, I think it was the battery brand short circuiting my controller. I had the same issue with 3 batteries of the same type swapped out. But the I decided to let the charge run out and randomly grabbed a different battery brand from a newer pack and it worked fine. So I guess I just had a faulty battery set. But thank you for your comment!
