How To Change the Battery in a PS4 Controller

Uploaded this to compliment the stream as not everyone wants to watch a livestream. Also a new Mic in this video, still getting it set up properly but almost there what do you think?

I know it's milliamp hours, I have just always abbreviated it to mAh as milliamp hours is a mouthful. Do you guys not do this too?

PRO TIP: don't open it all the way. once you crack it open, carefully and gently open it about 25 degrees, like a clamshell. then use needle pliers to unplug the battery. you can tip the controller upside down and shake the battery out of its retainer. no need to mess with triggers and springs like you did. then use the same pliers to plug in the new one, and wiggle the battery into place.

The way he pulled the 2 pieces apart made me have a tiny heart attack for the ribbon cable.

I just successfully changed my battery. I actually had an issue with the spring popping off inside the controller years ago even though it was brand new. The spring popped off again when I opened the controller to change the battery. I had forgotten how much fun it is to reassemble that pesky little pain in the butt. But all is reassembled & working properly. I enjoyed the video.

Thank you so much! Just saved hella money by switching to YouTube...bought another controller anyway but I did fix my other one by replacing the battery. Now I have 2! Thank

I just swapped out the batteries on two ps4 controllers. Both times I took them apart, the triggers ended up being on the front. Made the whole process a lot easier. Did both in about 10 minutes.

Pro tip: Buy the Turnigy 2000mAh 1S 1C Lipo w/ 2 Pin JST-PH battery from Hobbyking.
The battery last for ages. You have to snip the two pin connector off your old battery, and solder it on to the new battery, but well worth it.

You just mangled your brand new controller with that screwdriver

[oakmadee]

wow, he removed it exactly as I wanted to but was afraid I might mess the battery up :)

[RariShiesty]

Just hold the triggers down next time it should just slide in

I have a question.
Which battery goes into the second version of the DualShock?
