It is essential to maintain your PS5 controller’s battery life by using the correct charging methods. Here are some tips for proper charging that can help ensure your controller is functioning at its best. When it comes to PS5 controller chargers, most of them do just that – charge your controller. But if you want more functionality, something like OIVO’s PS5 Stand is a great choice, because it does a lot more than just charge your PS5. One of the most important aspects of a gaming experience is making sure your PS5 controller’s battery lasts as long as possible. To do this, follow these simple tips: Use a suitable charger: Make sure that the phone or USB-C charger you use delivers at least 5 volts of power. This will allow your PS5 controller to charge efficiently. Set the controller to turn off after a period of inactivity: To save battery life, go to Settings > System > Power Saving > Set Time Until Controllers Turn Off, and select an appropriate time for your controller to turn off when not in use. This can help preserve battery life, ensuring your controller has more charge available when you need it.

You can charge a PS5 controller without the console by plugging it into a USB wall plug or charging station. It takes about two to three hours to charge a PS5 controller when plugged directly into the PS5 or a DualSense charging station. One potential issue with charging your PS5 controller is that it may not charge at all or might not charge fully. To recognize these issues, first connect the USB-C cable to your DualSense controller and the other end to your PS5 console or a suitable USB-C charger with at least 5 volts of power. The light bar on the controller should display a pulsing orange color, indicating that it is charging. If you want something affordable and high quality, this officially licensed twin charging station from PowerA is perfect. It got the seal of approval from Sony and even comes with a similar look and the same snap-down charging design as the official offering, but at a lower cost.

Following these tips can help you ensure that your PS5 controller is charged correctly and maintains its battery life for an optimal gaming experience. Maximizing Battery Life

The PS5 is a solid console for streaming and recording gameplay, but if you want to record yourself and take your content to the next level, you need the PS5 HD Camera. While this peripheral might look like a compact version of the PS4’s Camera V2, it’s primarily for broadcasting yourself on YouTube, Twitch, and other platforms.Monitor Battery Levels: Keep an eye on your controller’s battery level during gameplay. The battery icon is displayed in the Control Center on the PS5. This will help you decide when it’s time to charge the controller before it completely runs out of battery.

Always update your PS5 system software and the wireless controller device software to the latest version. If you’re looking to get a fast, reliable, and aesthetically pleasing charger for your PlayStation 5, Sony is probably your best bet, which is why we’re recommending the official DualSense Charging Station. It’s a rather simple and compact variant that allows you to charge up to two controllers at the same time, without the need to use cables, at all. It’s also worth noting that you don’t have to worry about overcharging your PS5 controller. The controller is designed to stop drawing power from the charging cable once it’s fully charged, preventing any damage or reduced battery life due to overcharging. How to Charge Your PS5 Controller Charging via USBNexiGo’s PS5 Controller Charger is an excellent choice for people who want fast charging on two controllers at the same time. This kit comes with a charging stand and makes use of the port at the bottom of your controller to charge. There is fast charging, but you’ll want to use the included 5.3V/3A power adapter if you want to charge both controllers in under 3 hours. Most people probably won't need to buy this. I think the USB-C cable that comes with the console should suffice when charging, especially since the charging station doesn't offer an advantage in terms of faster charging times. That said, if you have more than one controller, I can definitely see the charging station coming in handy. It's a relatively compact charging station that takes less space on the desk and provides a more secure and stable way to hold and charge two controllers at the same time. The base is wider and weighted for improved stability. You can place and remove your controllers without moving the whole thing. DualSense charging stations also have another handy use case--they double as controller stands; so you'll naturally be inclined to place your controllers in the cradle when you're done playing. If you're having some marathon gaming sessions (Elden Ring, anyone?), avoiding the dreaded battery drain can sometimes be impossible. Since the included USB-C cable isn't lengthy enough to be practical for most setups, you may also want to invest in a longer cord such as this 16-foot cable that's compatible with DualSense and Xbox Series X|S controllers.
