When it comes to DualSense charging stations, the competition isn't really anything special. You can find third-party charging stations on the market for a bit cheaper, but they provide essentially the same functionality as the official charging station from Sony. 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: 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.

The PS5 delivers 3D audio for enhanced surround sound to make games more realistic, letting you place where your enemies are lurking to take them out. While that sounds great for those of us who have multichannel speaker systems, others using just their television speakers probably won’t be able to get the same effect. If you’re not ready to throw down the money for multiple speakers or a fancy soundbar and AV receiver, the PS5 Pulse 3D Wireless Headset might be just what you need. However, you can still use other ways to charge the PS5 controller, such as using a USB-A or USB-C power adapter or a third-party charging station. Q: How Can I Charge My PS5 Controller Without the Console? With Sony including both the EXT port and a USB-C port, you actually get two ways to charge your PS5 controller. But not both of them are equal. NexiGo’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.

Connect the USB-C end to the DualSense controller. The light bar will pulse an orange color to indicate charging. 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. There are a couple of chargers that will offer you the option to get those magnetic USB-C adapters to extend the durability of the port itself. Instead of plugging in the controller all the time, you plug it in once, and then it starts charging automatically when you put it on the stand. The difference between the OIVO, and those chargers, is that, unlike the other options that only give you two magnets, OIVO includes four. If you’re using more than two controllers, this is something you’ll definitely appreciate. 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.

Open the control center on the PS5 console and select Accessories to view the battery life of the connected controllers. A fully charged controller will display three bars on the battery icon. 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.
