The PS5 controller is a state-of-the-art control or gamepad thanks to the technologies it incorporates. However, it has a weak point, which is its battery life. Something that makes many of us have to choose measures to continue enjoying our favorite console during our free time. That is why we are going to tell you how to improve and change the DualSense battery.
Placing so much technology in the DualSense has consequences, one of which is the fact that it has a short battery life, which completely weighs down the finish of the final product. Now, if we think wrongly, we can deduce that it is so that in the middle of the generation we have to buy a new controller. In any case, there are not a few users who have two DualSense to leave one charging while we play with the other. However, there are cheaper solutions.
How to have more battery in your DualSense remote
The appeal of the PS5 versions of the games over the PS4 ones is not only the higher visual quality, in the form of more detailed, smoother and higher resolution graphics. If not also the integration of the DualSense controller in the games. Although, if we have to be honest, in less than we would like. On the other hand, we know that the console is not a cheap item and the fact of buying a second controller is for many an overcharge.
How to save battery with the DualSense without paying more?
There are a number of options that you will need to disable, which are disabled by default and drain battery capacity continuously, but subtly. That is why you have to perform a series of steps that will make each charge last many more hours:
- In the menu of your PS5 follow the following path:
- Setting
- Accessories
- controllers
- From there you can deactivate a series of functions that affect the battery of your PS5 to a lesser extent, things like:
- The volume of the built-in speaker.
- Turn the microphone on or off
- The resistance of the Force Feedback, you can even disable it while playing a game that does not use them.
- Adjust vibration.
- Being able to turn off a controller completely.
These are small saving tips, which, although at first they will seem banal to you, as the DualSense battery wear increases, you will appreciate having reduced them.
Use the DualShock 4 for PS4 games on PS5
By the way, if you still have the games from your old PS4 and you intend to play the games from the old console, then don’t keep them in the drawer. The titles do not take advantage of the capabilities of the DualSense and the PS5 gamepad is not essential for said games
Replace the DualSense battery with a better one
The other solution requires opening the controller, which voids the warranty, but if you’re not afraid it can be much cheaper than having to buy a second controller. Since the capacity of the PS5 gamepad is 1560 mAh and it cannot be said that it is a very high figure really. Luckily we can find a series of spare batteries, fully compatible with the controller and that will allow us to extend the time of our games and depend less on the charger.
