PlayStation 5 DualSense Charging Station

Product Information

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? 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. Avoid Overcharging: Unplug your controller once it’s fully charged. Overcharging can damage the battery and reduce its overall lifespan. The light bar on the controller will stop pulsing when it’s fully charged, indicating that it’s time to detach it from the charging source. 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. However, turn on the blue light bars on both sides and it instantly becomes a talking point because it really looks great. To make things even better, the lightbars are touch-sensitive, so you can turn them on or off as you wish. The blue light is exactly the same as the one on the PS5 itself, so it matches very well.

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.

You can charge a PS5 controller without the console by plugging it into a USB wall plug or charging station. 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. Use Rest Mode: Instead of completely turning off your PS5, put it in Rest Mode when taking breaks. This allows the controller to charge while you’re not using it, ensuring it’s always ready for your next gaming session. 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.Now, the transparent plastic does admittedly look cheap, but it’s there for a functional reason, too. The LED lights are right behind it, which means when the controller is charging, the entire section glows red. When it’s full, it changes to blue light, and both are impossible to miss. You’ll know when your controllers are charged pretty easily.
