From my personal experience with the PS5 controller, I have noticed that the low battery indicator usually appears after approximately six hours of gameplay. However, don’t be alarmed by this warning, as you can comfortably continue playing for another three to four hours before the controller actually dies.
It’s important to note that battery life can vary depending on various factors such as the intensity of gameplay, the use of features like the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, and the brightness of the controller’s light bar. If you play more demanding games or frequently utilize these features, the battery may drain slightly faster.
To maximize the battery life of your PS5 controller, there are a few tips you can follow. Firstly, adjusting the brightness of the controller’s light bar to a lower setting can help conserve power. Additionally, reducing the intensity of the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers can also contribute to longer battery life.
If you find yourself in a situation where the controller is low on battery but you don’t have access to a charger, you can still squeeze in a few more hours of gameplay. Simply dimming the light bar and minimizing the use of features like haptic feedback can help extend the battery life.
In terms of charging the controller, the PS5 DualSense controller comes with a USB-C port located at the top. This allows for easy and convenient charging, as you can simply connect it to the console or use a compatible charging cable and adapter to charge it separately.
While the low battery indicator may appear around the six-hour mark, you can expect to get around nine to 10 hours of playtime before the controller completely dies. By making a few adjustments to the controller’s settings and being mindful of battery-draining features, you can further extend the battery life and enjoy uninterrupted gaming sessions.
