PlayStation 5 DualSense Charging Station

Product Information

Avoid using the TV’s USB port: Charging your PS5 controller using the USB port on your TV might result in a slower charging time. This is because TV USB ports often don’t output as much power as other USB ports. Instead, use USB ports from other devices or a dedicated USB wall charger.

Connect the USB-C end to the DualSense controller. The light bar will pulse an orange color to indicate charging. It takes about two to three hours to charge a PS5 controller when plugged directly into the PS5 or a DualSense charging station. 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. 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.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. You could plug the controller into one of the USB ports on the PS5, but opting for a charging station offers a clean and sleek charging experience. It's not a complicated piece of tech, so there isn't too much to say. The charging station comes in a sleek design to complement the PS5 console itself. It charges two controllers at once and takes just 3 hours to charge them fully. While I only have one DualSense controller to test it out with, I found that 3 hour charging time to be accurate. 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. Enable Power Saving Settings: Go to your PS5 settings and find the power-saving options. Enable the options that allow your controller to enter a low-power mode when not in use, or reduce the brightness of the light bar.

Without a doubt, the best PS5 ontroller is the Sony DualSense , with its wallet-friendly price and game-changing technology, tuned and ready for the latest generation of games. It totes a familiar design while taking things up a notch by delivering advanced haptics with enough nuance to simulate the action. On the outside, the design is an all-white solution with LEDs at the front. There is a red light for when the controller is still charging, and a green one for when it’s full. Since it’s at the front, it is easily visible and you won’t have to guess whether or not your controller is full.The official way to charge the PS5 controller is by plugging it directly into one of the USB-A ports on the PS5 using the included USB cable or using the separately sold DualSense Charging Station. 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.
