How long does a ps5 controller take to charge

How long does a ps5 controller take to charge

level 1

I know there’s been an on going problem with peoples controllers not charging when it’s rest mode trying using the USB port in the back of the ps5 instead of the front & see if it charges

level 2

It only supplies power for 3 hours it’s a setting. Controller has strong battery takes a while to charge. Overnight charge and i have 3 hours on it and only down one bar

level 2

Yeah mine won’t charge at all from the front port while in rest mode, even after changing the “supply power in rest mode” setting to “always.” Left it 20+ hours, controller died 15 minutes after I started playing the next day.

There'll even be times where you'll plug it in and think it's charging but it isn't and have to unplug it and plug it back in.

level 2

Anyone have a problem if your charger only charges if you apply pressure?

level 1

I was going to say I charge mine from the rear but it sounded weird.

level 1

Hard to say tbh. I've noticed even if the controller shows full bars. That doesn't mean its fully charged. Using my cellphone adapter i got to 3 bars from blinking in about an hour. However it went down to 2 bars withing 25 min.

I use the charging dock from sony and it fully charges in around 3 hours. While i am playing and have it plugged into the console it takes around the exact same, alot of people are having charging issues i guess but so far i haven't experienced it.

level 1

I had the same problem, the controller would take forever to charge from the front USB-A even when the console was on. I swapped out the cable and the controller charged to full within 3 hours and the charging light on the controller stopped blinking. The controller also held a full charge as it should.

level 1

How can you tell if the controller is fully charged?? Ty

level 2

the yellow light stops blinking

level 1

It doesn’t take long at all I was at 1 bar and it took me like 30 mins for it to fully charge and when you dim the light in your controller and turn off vibration the controller lasts 7 hours for ne

level 1

Yea I feel it does take a bit but I also notice, the light bar on the controller doesn't turn off when fully charged.. maybe just for me.

level 2

my light bar turns off at full charge, but i use the charging dock, not a cable, idk if that matters at all.

level 1

FAQ says it should be around 3 hours

level 1

Mine went from 1 bar to 3 in like 2 hours. While I was playing. But I was playing a ps4 game so it wasn’t really using all of its crazy duelsense functions probably. Still that seems excessive

Playing AC Valhalla and can also confirm for some cut scenes!

Pretty sure you meant to comment on the post above this.

Gave me a good laugh.

level 1

Does anyone know if it is OK to fast charge (e.g. with the charger of my Samsung phone) the controller? Or could this damage it?

level 2

It'll work fine and not damage the controller. I have the charging station but have tested charging it with my phone's quick charger.

Playing the waiting game for more Returnal can be a drag.

When you're mid-way through a marathon gaming session, one of the most frustrating things to see on your PS5 is a little notification in the corner warning you that your DualSense battery is low.

Of course, having to charge your controller is nothing new. With Sony continuing to opt for a built-in battery for its controllers as opposed to Xbox's way of AA batteries, charging your new DualSense controller will see you tethered to the console/a plug socket as you wait for it to charge.
