I was about to comment something similar. Fast chargers will only charge fast charge capable things at a higher voltage, lesser amp. It sends out a signal first to see if it can be charged fast before it even sends out higher voltage. You can see this when you first plug things in. It's idiocy to claim what this guy did without knowing the tech. Secondly, outside of my PlayStation 4, no wall chargers OTHER than a fast charger would even charge any of my dual shock 4 controllers. Sometimes it charges glitchy, but it works. Been working for 4-5 years now. No issues.
@@Les_Grossman80 That‘s a normal process over time with lithium batteries. But it doesn‘t matter which charger, otherwise you have no clue what you‘re talking about.
@@Xg78 There is a contrast to it though. I know full well after owning smart phones the last decade or so, that the battery does typically lower in life. However, the most recent smart phone got (b4 my current one), got so bad on life that it wouldn't even turn on without being plugged in, and now it's even worse, like, won't even unlock while plugged in.. So unfortunately there's some stuff on it that I can't back up, since it turns off as soon as I try to turn on the USB function.. Just going off of how electricity works in general, I'd say it's a safe bet that cramming more electricity into a battery at a faster rate, is likely to reduce the overall life of the battery. Plus if this wasn't the case, then all chargers would be fast chargers (So the phone companies could boast about the quick charging speeds).
@@sizlax That makes no sense. I've been charging my controllers off wall chargers ever since I got my PS4 7 years ago.

A battery wearing down after 7 years? That's just normal.
It depends on the wall charger. Some do just 5v, others have higher voltages for fast charging. My Mate Vince explaines it in detail. ruclips.net/video/UkNnHGJVqqY/видео.html
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.
I use the official Sony docking station, but thanks for the info anyway. Also in terms of the Samsung fast charger it will only increase the voltage and fast charge a device that is compatible with the feature, so no risk of them being fried... plus it will stop charging as soon as it detects that the device is fully charged. I can only think that anybody who has used one and had issues bought a faulty charger, which happens, or it wasn't an official one.
@@Galax2000 it is actually triggering the charger to charge at a Higher voltage In the case of the Samsung adaptive quick chargers this would go to the 9 volt charging mode and this is what eventually destroys a DS4

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.
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.
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.
thats right and fast chargers have too rated volt ratings, my samsung chargers have 5V/ 1.5 or 2A and 9V rated on them. i have a samsung wireless charger that asks for 9V.
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.
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.
As long as the voltage is correct it will charge fine, these devices are not the old crappy tech you think they are. It's how they know when to stop charging as well. As long as the max voltage matches what the controller battery is rated for you can use the adapter. What era are you people living in, the information is right there at your fingertips, Google is your friend, you can find almost any information you need. 🤦
Also I have some sort of device which I can charge my phone and here my Controller too because it fits in. No issues at all and pretty good. If you play for example like me in bed then this'll be useful.
@@evilformerlys4704 volts AND amps are what you need to watch out for. I wouldn't recommend anything than the charger it came with (cable and PS5) or OFFICIAL charging solutions from Sony, like their charging dock and cables. But hey that's just me, I'm not risking $70 to find out any different.
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!
I think mines having issues because I use my high speed super charger thinking it will charge it faster which it did but now it's acting up after three weeks its the camouflage one wish I knew this before hand
It's says "adaptive" fast charging for a reason. They way that they work is that both the device and the charger have to approve that they support fast charging, other wise it will stay at 5v 1 amp. If you look at the brick it will state two currents, one 5v and one 9v. It's not going to go to fast charge mode unless the device was specifically built to do so, like smartphones.
I actually recommend not charging your controller at all. Everytime your battery dies just replace your controller. Ever since I've started doing this I've had 0 problems with drift and 0 problems with frying the battery.

_Didn't know sony made brick adapters and I'm more comfortable accompanying as many factory products from the same brand as possible rather than risking compatibility with separate brands, I'ma bit superstitious in that way but thanks John 🤗_
Good to know the 5V still works. Sony makes a dual 5V charger. Ive been using it for my PS4 controllers. It's actually been around since PS3 and current 6.99. Search PS3 AC adapter and scroll down
Safest tip: Charge your controller only using your console while you put it in the rest mode. In this way you dont need to worry whether the adapter is going to affect your battery or not.
Don't have a console. I have PS3, controller broke today. Still have 10 games I want to play on it and games to replay. Want to buy a PS4 or PS5 controller because maybe 10 years later I'll buy a jailbroken 2nd hand PS4 or PS5
Dumbest tip. But its okay dumb people shouldnt do anything beyond their brain capacity so yeah if you dumb better charge from console. Hope you not going hurt yourself.
So you guys know and for information. The DS5 needs 5V and draws 0.5A from the wall (2.5W). The same thing with Pulse 3D. So a charger that is 1.5A 5V is more than capable for them. I was able to verify with a USB meter that you can purchase on Amazon. It will also draw 0.5 A with no issues from a good quality power bank
hello, good info there man :) Btw, i have a Samsung brick charger that says 5V = 1A, while the dualsense5 is 1.5A. Is there gonna be a problem? I hope you could answer :)
@@juliusdelapaz128 it just mean the amount of amperage that you can store, if the device is 5V, 1.5Ah if we would charge at 1.0A per hour, it would take 1.5h to be fully charged at maximum output. The controller needs somewhat like 4h to be fully charged. Your 5V/1A will charge with no issues at all
Than you don’t have an adaptive fast charger As long as it is 5 volt only it will work fine The adaptive one from Samsung is 5 volt and 9 volt The problem is the communication between the device’s … this will trigger the charger to switch to 9 volt and that will eventually destroy your controller
What does Sony recommend for charging the PS5 controller? I never had an issue using my white Samsung smart/fast charger plug for 6 years. the newer controller shouldn't have a lot more safety/charging features. I really wouldn't think you'd have any issue from whatever charger you charge it with.
John Glasscock, did you know, when in the chat party, when you go in chat and scroll down the players names, each individual will have a volume bar where if one is noisey, you can turn them down while you can turn the others up etc. That's an awesome feature that I came across playing Warzone the other day
Fast chargers require a device telling the charger that it supports fast charging… As long as you’re using a higher quality charger such as those from apple and Samsung, or Anker for that matter. Fast charge should not enable.
Quote taken directly from playstation support : You may also use a charger that is compliant with the USB standard if you have one available. Please note, not all USB chargers will be capable of charging the DualSense wireless controller. This story is nonsense and easily debunked by checking directly with the manufacturer.
Exactly. This video is pure rubbish. I've been charging DS4s and my Switch Pro controller for years without a single issue. Dunno why he's spreading this false information and telling people to buy an overpriced old school charging adaptor. Any modern charger from a reputable company will work just fine.
If your charger is unsafe for your PlayStation controller it's equally unsafe for your phone... If you avoid cheap crap chargers from Wish and such you can charge anything with a USB port including your controllers perfectly safely.
I always thought that charging with electricity worked by the item being charged pulling the power it needs from the charger. The charger does not force electricity into the item. I am skeptical to say the least. Good way to have people buy from your affiliate link though. Nice Grift.
Learned my lesson over the past year, it also affected my headset. Didn't realize it was a fast charging brick either. But I got a new one, so all's good and I had warranty on my controller and headset.
I did this once on one of my PS4 controllers with a Samsung charger and it was never the same. The lights on the controller would hardly ever light up plus it could barely hold a charge. I learned my lesson that day. Never again!
I tried charging with a quick charger. It charged ok with the same 3 hours(not really quick) but the decline in charge was also rapid. Then using an old powerbank which barely outputs 1.5A. Surprisingly, rapid discharging issue is gone. Working fine. They really missed the mark to fully utilize the USB-C charging. It takes 3 hours and more to charge, and gives me 4 to 5 hour playtime. Hmmm
After few years, yes I can say it's true. My dualsense battery life dropped faster for only using fast charge adapter after a year. Now I'm only charging my controller through the PS5 USB port.
Fast chargers are for phones. Standard trickle chargers like for Garmin or old assed iPhones are those you should get. I just use the excellent Sony charging station.
@@JohnGlasscock I felt this would be the perfect spot to reply with the comment I’m about to add. First off, John, your videos are great, short, and straight to the point! Lots of useful and interesting things from your videos. Keep up the good work! My experience with charging PS4 controllers has not been swell as my only option that seems to work is charging it directly to the console. I tried with multiple usb cables and wall adapters with no result of an actual charge (none being fast chargers). And this experience has transferred now over to the ps5 as I can only charge it directly from the console. After watching your video, I tried again using my iPhone wall adapter the usb cable that came with the ps5 to charge and nothing. I also have a regular usb charge slot next to my outlet and attempted that and still got nothing. I honestly feel like it’s Sony’s fault, but after reading some other’s comments here, that supposedly doesn’t seem to be the case :/
@@Maktivus You could plug it to your laptop or PC and it should charge fine. Though like him I don't recommend wall chargers. I fried a PS3 controller doing that. Won't risk it with my Dualsense
I use a tronsmart multi usb charger, have used it for years, it's a fast charger. I have my original dualshock 4 from 2013 which still works, still charges fine. I use my tronsmart multi to charge my controller's, my phone, headphones etc. I have never charged my PS4 or PS5 controller via the console barring the updates which require it. My PS4 & 5 are inside my entertainment centre so having a wall charger beside my chair is much more convenient & practical.
Don't think electricity works like this. A fast charger CAN charge fast, but if the device isn't capable of accepting a fast charge, then it doesn't. Basically, the device pulls power from the wall...the power isn't pushed. I've used fast chargers for years.....never had an issue.
I've had hundreds of devices since I was a kid that needed to be charged. I can't count how many died while being charged with the charger that came with it, The lesson here, even the included charger can lead to the electronics dying. A GOOD fast charger, regardless of how many amps it's capable of putting out won't harm a device like this. And a fast charger won't even charge it any faster leading to heat, because the controller is limited so it will take the same 3 hours and produce no crazy extra heat that could shorten the battery life. I'd have zero worries, and no issues charging a PS5 controller with the 65w USB C charger that came with my Asus laptop. It's not going to magically overcharge and fry the battery in the controller. It will communicate with the controller and send only how much power it requests and it will charge at the identical rate if I had it plugged directly into a PS5 USB port, or a wall using the official Sony dual charging dock. I charge everything I have that's USB C whether it's 1a 1.5a whatever it is with this Asus charger., Again, any device charging can potentially die with any charger, that's just how electronics are sometimes. Crappy no-name Chinese chargers without any sort of overcharging protection built in can potentially damage this, or any other device. Moral to my long ass post - If you're charging a $70 dollar controller with a $2 Chinese wall charger you get what you pay for I suppose.
The Dualsense won't charge on a wall outlet UNLESS you use a fastcharge (5V) charger. I've tried it with a multitude of charging adapters just to try it out, and it literally will not glow and will not charge unless it's on high speed charging. The same is true of the DS4. So I'm not sure why you're saying this. Not to mention these chargers are designed to only give the output the controller asks for, IF it can provide it. Slower charges can't provide the power the controller wants, so the both controllers will reject it. I wish they wouldn't, AKA be like the Switch Pro controller, and would accept it because it's obviously safer for a full charge to go through that. But Sony literally won't let you unless you use their proprietary outlet converters, so what are you gonna do if you don't wanna waste more money?
You're right. I can't find specs for the battery type but assuming it's a 1 cell 1500 mah lithium ion battery, fast charging would be considered charging at a rate of anything greater than 1.5 A. Considering that Sony knows most people would use a 5 or 9 V adapter, I'd reckon the controller has a built in 4.2 V regulator. And fast charging anything would reduce battery life. So charging at 1A is a great idea to prolong the battery life.
@@hadroncollider17 says right on the controller 5v 1.5a I'd guess it's not taking in any more than that. But I could easily find out, I have a USB power meter, and lots of fast chargers. If all the controller pulls is around 1.5a then this whole video is bullshit. I doubt fast chargers can "hurt" the battery.
Unless the charger is broken, faulty, or some weird cheap Chinese knockoff-- any appropriate 5v charger above 1.5v WILL work. This video is more for clicks then anything else. I do support using power bricks/ surge protectors with USB, just for added safety. Well worth it.
For me, i Just plug the provided usb cable into one of the usb A ports on the back of my ps5, that way i dont accidentally snag on it in the front.. then set my usb ports to switch off after 3 hours when in Rest mode.. then theres no danger of overcharging it, if its accidentally left plugged in... or just buy a 3m usb c cable and use it as a wired controller
As I buy controller just for PC, I have no other option to charge on PC, or on power outlet, the main issue is that device does not show if the battery is full, it just glow infinetelly. Even I try some power bank, but the negative is that I cannot charge and play in once.
As a matter of fact i used to charge my DS4 with samsung fast charger and it fried the controller after which it stopped charging. So yes this man is telling the truth 🙏
@@vibhashsingh5841 that's not how it works. It cannot send more volts to something that cannot take it. The charger reads what the input device can handle. If it's not fast charge capable, it will not send over 5w down the wires.
The only way to fry your controller is if it has a short between the two data pins wich could trigger a fast charge mode. The PS4 controller does not fast charge and does not take more than 5v and 0.51A . I'm charging mine only with wall adapter that supports fast charge of 9v2A and it never jumped over 5V. Usualy when something is wrong the fuse on the charging port blows and if its an jdm30, the charging IC starts to literaly burn. The standard amperage for usb2.0 is 0.5A and 0.9A for usb3. No need for a high amperage charger

Two years ago, I bought a PS4 controller and charged it with my phone’s fast charger and fried it in less than a year. Just got a PS5 controller yesterday and I am so glad to watch this video so I won't repeat the same mistake again.
Hi. It’s been almost 3 years. Can you please do an updated video whether we can charge ps5 controller using a fast charger? I’ve been reading up on several websites and all gave mixed responses. Some say that USB-C technology is smart enough to pull/push enough power to the controller for it to be charge safely and it’s fine. Some say don’t ever do it. Appreciate if you could do a updated video. Thanks in advance!!
You're right! My PS5 Duelsense controller was smart enough to refuse to charge via my OnePlus fast charging adapter. Now, I am using my Google Pixel 3A charger to charge my controller and it works like a charm.
Hi there. I have a OnePlus 6 charger which I've been meaning to try, but have been reluctant on my Dualsense controller. Might I ask. which OnePlus charger were you using and what exactly was the issue when you charged it? Thanks!
@@JoeTurok It's OnePlus DASH Charger, but there was no issue because as I mentioned the duelsense controller was smart enough to refuse it, even my Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones refuse it. I suggest using a normal charger with a normal charging cable because even the DASH charging cable is different from the other charging cables.
@@JoeTurok Yep! It does not charge at all. The charger I have is for my old OnePlus 3T which is a Dash charger but it does not matter if you have a OnePlus Dash charger or a Wrap charger, both are fast chargers and you should avoid using them with your duelsense controller.
I've always used a cell phone charger to charge my controllers never had any issues. Used with PS3,ps4,ps5. I've never used anything name brand from ps to charge any of my controllers done it for yrs no issues.
Yeah … the problem is not the fast chargers The problem is chargers that have an adaptive voltage output If your charger only supports 5V you are fine but if it uses 5V and 9V (like the Samsung Adaptive quick Chargers) The PS4 controller actually sends a signal to the charger when connected that is usually used to indicate to your PS4 that a controller is connected to the USB port And the adaptive charger that receives this seems to pick it up as that the connected device supports 9 volt charging The PS4 controller can actually handle some over voltage but it would eventually fail as it was not made to be charged at 9 volt
The batteries in certified consumer electronics are "smart batteries" and will only charge at the fastest rate allowed by the battery. This is possible due to handshaking protocols between the device and the charger.
I repaired a lot ps4 Controllers which Was Fried by a fast charger. But only v1 the v2 isn't that effected. But if you fried it it is easy to repair by replacing the charging port. Costs just 4€
The controller limits its charge accordingly much like any other lithium battery device, the bulk of the charge (on a smart charger) is done to roughly 80% and then it trickles..... If this was wrecking controller batteries, why isnt it even heard of warranty wise??? Also note devices charger slower or not at all if the battery temperature is extreme
I've not done so on my PS5 but I've for the life of my PS4 used my extra Samsung fast charging brick to charge my controller PS4 controllers on the fly and haven't had an issue.
I plugged mine in and it didn't charge at all. After a few seconds I got an unsettled feeling that I might not be able to charge it this way and unplugged it. Thank you for the info!
Been using a 25watt power brick fast charger. It's from my s21 ultra. Works great and haven't noticed any shorter life or damage. Also been using that same old samsung fast charger since day one. The ps5 controller is just a beast I guess lmao.
I do it all the time it's not a risk if you know how long it actually takes for it to charge. I charge my Dualsense with my Note 20 type C to type brick cable. Only thing that ends up messing up the controller is the person when they forget to take it off.
Completely misleading, based on USB specifications, the device and charger negotiates the correct power profile before it begins charging, it will not charge faster or higher than what the device (in this case the DualSense controller) is asking for. The worst that can happen is if a charger does not support the power profile required, it just won't supply and no charge.
I don't recommend using fast chargers, & make sure the wall adapter says 5V with 1.5A or greater. Thanks for watching

@@coldkebab same
Samers lol
They are watching us all
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.
What ab 100-200 volts 😂
Not Dual Sense controllers they're smart
@@brooksboysoutdoors thats for input not output
Are there any chargers on the market that output 9V without the connected device explicitly asking for that voltage?
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.
Same, I've been using MBP charger and no problems at all
This wasn't a video it was an advertisement for a Sony wall adapter.lol
😂😂
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.
Just use 5v and you're fine
As long as the voltage is correct it will charge fine, these devices are not the old crappy tech you think they are. It's how they know when to stop charging as well. As long as the max voltage matches what the controller battery is rated for you can use the adapter. What era are you people living in, the information is right there at your fingertips, Google is your friend, you can find almost any information you need. 🤦
Also I have some sort of device which I can charge my phone and here my Controller too because it fits in. No issues at all and pretty good. If you play for example like me in bed then this'll be useful.
@@dgma626 5v 1.0a, I wouldn't recommend anything higher than that, not even the 1.5a he was suggesting in this video.
@@evilformerlys4704 volts AND amps are what you need to watch out for. I wouldn't recommend anything than the charger it came with (cable and PS5) or OFFICIAL charging solutions from Sony, like their charging dock and cables. But hey that's just me, I'm not risking $70 to find out any different.
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!
hi dier how amper an watt your charger??
I think mines having issues because I use my high speed super charger thinking it will charge it faster which it did but now it's acting up after three weeks its the camouflage one wish I knew this before hand
This video is joke,because ps5 controlled not support fast charge,you can't damage controller with any fast charger.
I have two controllers so I just got the official charging stand. So convenient and piece of mind knowing it won't ruin them.
The funny thing is you never worried about that until you watched this video I bet.
@@evilformerlys4704 that makes no sense
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
It's says "adaptive" fast charging for a reason. They way that they work is that both the device and the charger have to approve that they support fast charging, other wise it will stay at 5v 1 amp. If you look at the brick it will state two currents, one 5v and one 9v. It's not going to go to fast charge mode unless the device was specifically built to do so, like smartphones.
yeah you are right
I don't have a ps5
My brain: Just watch it
Me: 😭
I actually recommend not charging your controller at all. Everytime your battery dies just replace your controller.
Ever since I've started doing this I've had 0 problems with drift and 0 problems with frying the battery.
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)
_Didn't know sony made brick adapters and I'm more comfortable accompanying as many factory products from the same brand as possible rather than risking compatibility with separate brands, I'ma bit superstitious in that way but thanks John 🤗_
Good to know the 5V still works. Sony makes a dual 5V charger. Ive been using it for my PS4 controllers. It's actually been around since PS3 and current 6.99. Search PS3 AC adapter and scroll down
Safest tip: Charge your controller only using your console while you put it in the rest mode. In this way you dont need to worry whether the adapter is going to affect your battery or not.
Don't have a console. I have PS3, controller broke today. Still have 10 games I want to play on it and games to replay. Want to buy a PS4 or PS5 controller because maybe 10 years later I'll buy a jailbroken 2nd hand PS4 or PS5
@@naylisyazwina6836 so you play in ps3 controller with pc/laptop?
Dumbest tip. But its okay dumb people shouldnt do anything beyond their brain capacity so yeah if you dumb better charge from console. Hope you not going hurt yourself.
Ultimately I agree with you, no need to risk it.
So you guys know and for information. The DS5 needs 5V and draws 0.5A from the wall (2.5W). The same thing with Pulse 3D. So a charger that is 1.5A 5V is more than capable for them. I was able to verify with a USB meter that you can purchase on Amazon. It will also draw 0.5 A with no issues from a good quality power bank
hello, good info there man :) Btw, i have a Samsung brick charger that says 5V = 1A, while the dualsense5 is 1.5A. Is there gonna be a problem? I hope you could answer :)
@@juliusdelapaz128 it just mean the amount of amperage that you can store, if the device is 5V, 1.5Ah if we would charge at 1.0A per hour, it would take 1.5h to be fully charged at maximum output. The controller needs somewhat like 4h to be fully charged. Your 5V/1A will charge with no issues at all
Been using my Samsung fast charger to charge my controllers for years, zero issues.
Than you don’t have an adaptive fast charger
As long as it is 5 volt only it will work fine
The adaptive one from Samsung is 5 volt and 9 volt
The problem is the communication between the device’s … this will trigger the charger to switch to 9 volt and that will eventually destroy your controller

I never had an issue using my white Samsung smart/fast charger plug for 6 years. the newer controller shouldn't have a lot more safety/charging features. I really wouldn't think you'd have any issue from whatever charger you charge it with.
You won't this is fear mongering and anecdotal bullshit from people that don't understand electronics.

@@JohnGlasscock no worries mate, thought I share it with you 🙂
I'm doing this for years no problems. Doing the same with my ps5 controller no problems .So it's all bulls##t
Fast chargers require a device telling the charger that it supports fast charging…
As long as you’re using a higher quality charger such as those from apple and Samsung,
or Anker for that matter. Fast charge should not enable.
Quote taken directly from playstation support : You may also use a charger that is compliant with the USB standard if you have one available. Please note, not all USB chargers will be capable of charging the DualSense wireless controller.
This story is nonsense and easily debunked by checking directly with the manufacturer.
Exactly. This video is pure rubbish. I've been charging DS4s and my Switch Pro controller for years without a single issue. Dunno why he's spreading this false information and telling people to buy an overpriced old school charging adaptor. Any modern charger from a reputable company will work just fine.
However be aware that cheapest chinese counterfeit wall chargers can kill your controller and even phone, that's why some people fried their DS
If your charger is unsafe for your PlayStation controller it's equally unsafe for your phone... If you avoid cheap crap chargers from Wish and such you can charge anything with a USB port including your controllers perfectly safely.
Yup even sony technical support site states it. This is a scare story to get money from affiliates..
I always thought that charging with electricity worked by the item being charged pulling the power it needs from the charger. The charger does not force electricity into the item. I am skeptical to say the least. Good way to have people buy from your affiliate link though. Nice Grift.
Fast charging my ps5 controller first week no issues. Same for my d4 that I got from the original ps4 no issues.
hahahaha, seriously
Learned my lesson over the past year, it also affected my headset. Didn't realize it was a fast charging brick either. But I got a new one, so all's good and I had warranty on my controller and headset.
I did this once on one of my PS4 controllers with a Samsung charger and it was never the same. The lights on the controller would hardly ever light up plus it could barely hold a charge. I learned my lesson that day. Never again!

I tried charging with a quick charger. It charged ok with the same 3 hours(not really quick) but the decline in charge was also rapid. Then using an old powerbank which barely outputs 1.5A. Surprisingly, rapid discharging issue is gone. Working fine. They really missed the mark to fully utilize the USB-C charging. It takes 3 hours and more to charge, and gives me 4 to 5 hour playtime.

The PS5 controller is 100% compatible with fast chargers and will even fast charge if you use the USB-C port on the PS5 itself.
The controller does not charge faster on USB C, I've tested this & featured it in a video
It's compatible with fast chargers but that doesn't mean you should use it

After few years, yes I can say it's true. My dualsense battery life dropped faster for only using fast charge adapter after a year. Now I'm only charging my controller through the PS5 USB port.
What are the odds... This video was recommended to me after I used a fast charger for my dual sense 🥲👍
What happened with your controller? Any damage?
Fast chargers are for phones. Standard trickle chargers like for Garmin or old assed iPhones are those you should get. I just use the excellent Sony charging station.
This was his opportunity to show off his new ps5 controllers. I see ya 💪🏾🔥
Don’t plug anything directly in the outlet, at least a power bar that protect power surge.
Honestly after watching this ill probably just charge the ps5 controller by plugging it directly into the console itself
That's the recommended way 👍🏻
@@JohnGlasscock I felt this would be the perfect spot to reply with the comment I’m about to add. First off, John, your videos are great, short, and straight to the point! Lots of useful and interesting things from your videos. Keep up the good work!
My experience with charging PS4 controllers has not been swell as my only option that seems to work is charging it directly to the console. I tried with multiple usb cables and wall adapters with no result of an actual charge (none being fast chargers). And this experience has transferred now over to the ps5 as I can only charge it directly from the console. After watching your video, I tried again using my iPhone wall adapter the usb cable that came with the ps5 to charge and nothing. I also have a regular usb charge slot next to my outlet and attempted that and still got nothing. I honestly feel like it’s Sony’s fault, but after reading some other’s comments here, that supposedly doesn’t seem to be the case :/
@@Maktivus You could plug it to your laptop or PC and it should charge fine. Though like him I don't recommend wall chargers. I fried a PS3 controller doing that. Won't risk it with my Dualsense

Can you do a vid on how to properly clean a ps5
Throw it in a bathtub
I use a tronsmart multi usb charger, have used it for years, it's a fast charger. I have my original dualshock 4 from 2013 which still works, still charges fine. I use my tronsmart multi to charge my controller's, my phone, headphones etc. I have never charged my PS4 or PS5 controller via the console barring the updates which require it. My PS4 & 5 are inside my entertainment centre so having a wall charger beside my chair is much more convenient & practical.
Idk man I used a fast charger on my controllers for years with no problems...
I can't recommend doing that but thanks for sharing!
Same I been using them since PS3 and I have 0 problems
Don't think electricity works like this. A fast charger CAN charge fast, but if the device isn't capable of accepting a fast charge, then it doesn't. Basically, the device pulls power from the wall...the power isn't pushed.
I've used fast chargers for years.....never had an issue.
I've had hundreds of devices since I was a kid that needed to be charged. I can't count how many died while being charged with the charger that came with it,
The lesson here, even the included charger can lead to the electronics dying. A GOOD fast charger, regardless of how many amps it's capable of putting out won't harm a device like this. And a fast charger won't even charge it any faster leading to heat, because the controller is limited so it will take the same 3 hours and produce no crazy extra heat that could shorten the battery life. I'd have zero worries, and no issues charging a PS5 controller with the 65w USB C charger that came with my Asus laptop. It's not going to magically overcharge and fry the battery in the controller. It will communicate with the controller and send only how much power it requests and it will charge at the identical rate if I had it plugged directly into a PS5 USB port, or a wall using the official Sony dual charging dock. I charge everything I have that's USB C whether it's 1a 1.5a whatever it is with this Asus charger.,
Again, any device charging can potentially die with any charger, that's just how electronics are sometimes. Crappy no-name Chinese chargers without any sort of overcharging protection built in can potentially damage this, or any other device.
Moral to my long ass post - If you're charging a $70 dollar controller with a $2 Chinese wall charger you get what you pay for I suppose.
It dpesntatter if you charge with 10W brick or 20w brick, the charging brick will communicate with the controller and charge at the appropriate speed
Adapter 5V-2.5A=12watt is it ok?
The red controller is so much more vibrant irl
Agreed I have a red one as well
The Dualsense won't charge on a wall outlet UNLESS you use a fastcharge (5V) charger. I've tried it with a multitude of charging adapters just to try it out, and it literally will not glow and will not charge unless it's on high speed charging. The same is true of the DS4. So I'm not sure why you're saying this. Not to mention these chargers are designed to only give the output the controller asks for, IF it can provide it. Slower charges can't provide the power the controller wants, so the both controllers will reject it. I wish they wouldn't, AKA be like the Switch Pro controller, and would accept it because it's obviously safer for a full charge to go through that. But Sony literally won't let you unless you use their proprietary outlet converters, so what are you gonna do if you don't wanna waste more money?
1.5a or greater chargers is getting extremely close to that "fast" charger compatibility. I wouldn't recommend anything over the 1.0a honestly.
Thats not the way fast charging works.
"Fast Charging" is charging above 5v. (9/12v charging) more amps has nothing to do with that.
You're right. I can't find specs for the battery type but assuming it's a 1 cell 1500 mah lithium ion battery, fast charging would be considered charging at a rate of anything greater than 1.5 A. Considering that Sony knows most people would use a 5 or 9 V adapter, I'd reckon the controller has a built in 4.2 V regulator. And fast charging anything would reduce battery life. So charging at 1A is a great idea to prolong the battery life.
@@hadroncollider17 says right on the controller 5v 1.5a
I'd guess it's not taking in any more than that.
But I could easily find out, I have a USB power meter, and lots of fast chargers.
If all the controller pulls is around 1.5a then this whole video is bullshit. I doubt fast chargers can "hurt" the battery.
Unless the charger is broken, faulty, or some weird cheap Chinese knockoff-- any appropriate 5v charger above 1.5v WILL work. This video is more for clicks then anything else. I do support using power bricks/ surge protectors with USB, just for added safety. Well worth it.
Always good to point out the drawbacks of quick charging and the proper volts/amps to charge any electronics👍 Good info
Not really, modern fast chargers switches to 5v automatically, this video just useless bs as previous video about dualshock charging process.
For me, i Just plug the provided usb cable into one of the usb A ports on the back of my ps5, that way i dont accidentally snag on it in the front.. then set my usb ports to switch off after 3 hours when in Rest mode.. then theres no danger of overcharging it, if its accidentally left plugged in... or just buy a 3m usb c cable and use it as a wired controller
I think you’re supposed to just charge them off the ps5
As I buy controller just for PC, I have no other option to charge on PC, or on power outlet, the main issue is that device does not show if the battery is full, it just glow infinetelly. Even I try some power bank, but the negative is that I cannot charge and play in once.
As a matter of fact i used to charge my DS4 with samsung fast charger and it fried the controller after which it stopped charging.

The only way to fry your controller is if it has a short between the two data pins wich could trigger a fast charge mode. The PS4 controller does not fast charge and does not take more than 5v and 0.51A . I'm charging mine only with wall adapter that supports fast charge of 9v2A and it never jumped over 5V. Usualy when something is wrong the fuse on the charging port blows and if its an jdm30, the charging IC starts to literaly burn.
The standard amperage for usb2.0 is 0.5A and 0.9A for usb3. No need for a high amperage charger
Nice video! Silly question, what do you think about using a usb c to usb c cable? (and the usb c port from the ps5 or pc). Sometimes i need to charge both controllers at the same time and the official charging dock is out of stock here in Argetina. Thanks!

Hi. It’s been almost 3 years. Can you please do an updated video whether we can charge ps5 controller using a fast charger? I’ve been reading up on several websites and all gave mixed responses.

I've always used a cell phone charger to charge my controllers never had any issues.
Used with PS3,ps4,ps5.
I've never used anything name brand from ps to charge any of my controllers done it for yrs no issues.
Yeah … the problem is not the fast chargers
The problem is chargers that have an adaptive voltage output
If your charger only supports 5V you are fine but if it uses 5V and 9V (like the Samsung Adaptive quick Chargers)
The PS4 controller actually sends a signal to the charger when connected that is usually used to indicate to your PS4 that a controller is connected to the USB port
And the adaptive charger that receives this seems to pick it up as that the connected device supports 9 volt charging
The PS4 controller can actually handle some over voltage but it would eventually fail as it was not made to be charged at 9 volt
Best is to charge it from your USB2 or USB3 ports on your PC. Ust don't use the Red USB ports. Thats the safest way if you own a PC or Laptop.
Those tiny Apple adapters are the best….they charge slowly but don’t ruin the batteries even of you plug them for longer hours
The batteries in certified consumer electronics are "smart batteries" and will only charge at the fastest rate allowed by the battery. This is possible due to handshaking protocols between the device and the charger.
USB hub with HID support is the answer. Then you can use whichever power adapter you want.
I repaired a lot ps4 Controllers which Was Fried by a fast charger. But only v1 the v2 isn't that effected. But if you fried it it is easy to repair by replacing the charging port. Costs just 4€
I used a fast charging adapter on my PS5 controller, definitely shortened the battery life by hours :/ This guy ain't joking around.
The controller limits its charge accordingly much like any other lithium battery device, the bulk of the charge (on a smart charger) is done to roughly 80% and then it trickles..... If this was wrecking controller batteries, why isnt it even heard of warranty wise???
Also note devices charger slower or not at all if the battery temperature is extreme
Just 5V-1.5A is okay, it can be safe to charge the PS5, because I also have a Sony charger with a capacity of 5V-1.5A.
I've been using this for so long and had no issues so far, but now I'll switch to a normal one (not fast charge) thx for the info 👍
I've not done so on my PS5 but I've for the life of my PS4 used my extra Samsung fast charging brick to charge my controller PS4 controllers on the fly and haven't had an issue.

Thank god you made this I was waiting for this because I was worried I was ruining my controller. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I do it all the time it's not a risk if you know how long it actually takes for it to charge. I charge my Dualsense with my Note 20 type C to type brick cable. Only thing that ends up messing up the controller is the person when they forget to take it off.
Completely misleading, based on USB specifications, the device and charger negotiates the correct power profile before it begins charging, it will not charge faster or higher than what the device (in this case the DualSense controller) is asking for. The worst that can happen is if a charger does not support the power profile required, it just won't supply and no charge.
