Be Careful.. This Could Ruin Your PS5 Controller

Charging your Playstation 5 controller using a USB wall adapter or power brick? This could be ruining your PS5 controller.. But wait! you can wall charge your PS5 controller, you just need to do it correctly! Here's how.. First thing I recommend is to never use a fast charger wall adapter to charge your Playstation controller. Doing this might actually damage your expensive PS5 controller. To avoid this, use a USB power brick that's rated at 5V and at least 1.5Amps. The one that I use is the official SONY charging adapter and is linked below. You can use any good quality USB adapter, as long as it meets the recommended Volts & Amps for Playstation 5 Controllers.

I don't recommend using fast chargers, & make sure the wall adapter says 5V with 1.5A or greater. Thanks for watching

Also: don’t buy your PS5 from scalpers.
That’s just rewarding a scumbags

It doesn’t matter if it‘s 2A or 1.5A, the charger adapts to the device that‘s connected to it.
Same with phones. If I plug in my older iPhone with a fast charger, the charger will only charge the amount of power that fits the iPhone!

I charged my ds4 through the socket for more than 4 years, no issues at all.

The Dualsense controller uses the USB PD charging only, which means it will communicate with the charger to only supply the power it deems fit. As long as it charges I wouldn’t worry about the power being too high.

[WarpedTrekker]

It doesn't matter what charger to use. The electronics that control the charge are in both the adapter and the controller. They communicate with each other to determine the correct charging rate. All modern electronics are like that. I've charged PS4 controllers over the years with a fast charger with no issues.

The odds that he releases this video just as I get a ps5 controller….

Fast charge doesn't depend on the battery, in depends on the system. If it can't fast charge it just charges normal.

[driverdis]

As far as I am aware, fast chargers will never provide over 5V without communicating using USB-PD or Qualcomm Quickcharge. Damage will never happen outside of a defective charger.

The controller itself determines the current it needs to charge so a properly designed controller would work with a 5V 50A charger as it would only take as much as it needs. Now if the controller charging logic is bad then it could charge faster than designed but that would be a bad oversight by Sony to do this.

[haggardreviews]

Fast chargers require a specific signal from the device before supplying enought power to fast charge. If it doesn't receive that signal, it will only charge at a normal, limited speed. Plugging a non fast charging device into a fast, or even super fast charger is completely fine as that device won't be asking for fast or super fast charging and the charger will simply provide a normal charge.

[davidcole]

Don't recommend it. It can over heat the Battery to where it will not charge correctly. Just plug in to PS5 and let it charge for an hour.

[beatcher]

Neat. I've been using the right phone charger for years on my PS4 controllers, and now PS5 controller.
My charger puts out 5.0V and 1.55A

[maxpaynezm]

This video is joke, because ps5 controlled not support fast charge, you can't damage controller with any fast charger.

[drawlast]

I use my MacBook Pro charger for my ps5 controller and no issues whatsoever. Devices nowadays are smart enough to take only the necessary input of voltage, so unless you leave it charging for days there should be no problem. Probably a good idea to avoid cheap chargers, but that’s valid for any electronic device.

[dshadow]

Just to be clear. The voltage has to be 5v for the controller. 9v could mess it up. The amp rating is there to protect the charger. I've always charged controllers from power outlets since the ps4 came out day 1. As long as you use 5v you are good. A lot of smart chargers can adjust amps.

[TheLostAndNotFound]

I have two controllers so I just got the official charging stand. So convenient and piece of mind knowing it won't ruin them.

[player--zero]

This wasn't a video it was an advertisement for a Sony wall adapter.lol

[waycoolscootaloo]

The adapter doesn't oversupply power. The controller tells the adapter how much power it needs. A Samsung Fast Charge adapter automatically will supply standard 5v charging if it's connected to a device that cannot communicate for Fast Charge.
If the controller is going to fail, then the controller was already going to fail.

Maybe don't go with a no-name $1.00 bargain bin Charger of course. But any USB adapter from a reputable company should be good.

USB standard speed charger = 5 watts of maximum output. (Aka...1 amp)

USB higher speed is 5 volts, at 2 amps. (10 watts) Or 5 volts at 2.4 amps. (12 watts)

USB high speed is 9 volts at 1.67 amps. (15 watts) Aka... Samsung Adaptive Fast Charge. (Can also be 5 volts, at 3 amps for non-Samsung made adapters)

[Jliberato]

I have been using that white fast charger brick for ages during the PS4 era and now I use it for my PS5. So far no issues but I'll look into this more carefully. Thanks!

[PonDiEndz]

Been using my Samsung fast charger to charge my controllers for years, zero issues.
