Thank you. I'm a almost 68 year guy who is borrowing my son's PS 4 and your video helped me a lot. 👍😊 Now I own a PS 1 that works as well as it did the day I bought it. 😂 And have around 40 games for it. Just wanted to check out the modern world for a change. But I'll never give up my old system. 😁
That is a huge help man, thank you! Most of the information out there says that you should never charge it if a phone charger plug in the wall, and for me it wont make any sense.
that is not even remotely how electronics works those chargers do not output anything, thats what they are CAPABLE of outputting. A DC power supply only outputs as many amps as the circuit attached DRAWS from it there will be no difference in charging anything on any larger charger unless the device is capable of switiching its charging profile which newer smart phones do for fast charging under a number of circumstances. One such circumstance relevant to modern electronics and their ability to charge or process data is their thermal headroom, based on the temperature devices may slow down or speed up or have more or less resistance. However in this case if a controller draws .8A it always draws that much regardless of what you hook it to.. if you were to hook it to a really old usb 1 type thing that only does .5A its still gonna draw .8 and it will brown out because the supply cant deliver that much but if it could deliver 3amA the controller will still only draw .8A
That isn’t an equals sign. It’s a symbol to represent it is DC current, and not alternating current. Alternating Current (AC) is commonly represented by a wave sign or ~ symbol
Thanks mate that worked for me. I plugged in usb cable into my iphone wall block and then connected to my controller the controller is now charging and showing charging light! :)🤗
No . I’ve have many wall chargers and non charged my controller . But when I used my battery power bank a cheap 10 dollar one that I had it started charging it . Lights were going on and off indicating it’s charging
Not all USB chargers are 5v. I have 2 x Samsung Travel Chargers from old phones and tablets. One is 5v 1.55a and the other is 5.3v 2a. Also 2 x Apple phone chargers. One is 5w 5v 1a and the other is 12w 5.2v 2.4a.
This is totally false. Faster charger will damage the controller battery, fast charger only output 9v 12v 15v etc when the load asked for it. A 5V load will not request higher charging volt from a faster charger.
what happens if it doesnt glow at all? mine just flashes white for a minute or stays solid white the whole time. and yet it wont charge. it will at least be playable when plugged into the wall socket wire, but it drags left so much that its unplayable while plugged in
Been doing this for years with chargers and cables from the 99 cent store. And I still have my same two ps4 controllers. One's a real licensed ps4 controller and the other is a 3rd party ps4 controller. Either you people are not willing to take risk or something else broke your controller. And I'm a happy camper playing old ps2 games on my samsung tablet
I don't know if its just the charger block I used or what. But people PLEASE do not charge your controllers with anything but the console or a controller dock. My old controller broke from this and I haven't had my new controller 24 hours and the same thing happened
I just use the USB ports on the front of any console. And if the cable is not long enough, buy a USB extension cable. That way i know i wont be damaging anything
This helped me so much. I saw some videos about how charging your controller with wall outlet can damage its battery and i was worried that my battery might get damaged. But then i came across this video and it helped alot. Thanks!
Guys! I'm questioning can I charge my ps4 controller by inserting the usb wire into the usb port in ps4,but, that usb wire belongs to a phone's charger ?(😅IDK if you understood me)
Hey gang, I was using a cable which is charging-cum-data transfer cable, so the wall charging/pc charging wasn't working, I tried a non data transfer cable and it worked just fine just a heads up!
PSA: If you're charging the Move controller (either generation) or the Aim Controller, it would appear that they refuse to charge *unless* plugged into a Playstation or a PC. Wall chargers won't work (or in my case, a USB charge port on my surge protector also won't work). You can use a PS4 to charge PS3 controllers as well (and I assume vice-versa, but didn't test).
when you plug it into a wall charger for a phone is your controller not lighting up at all as mine is lighting up but no idea if it's charging properly?
I need help I’ve done this and plugged a usb charger in the 5v plug and it charges it for 3 seconds then stops showing yellow light to show it is charging
I have plugged my ps4 controller to 5.0v 2.0A charger, it charged but it was about to damage the controller, I discovered that the yellow light of controller It became intermittent and not smooth as usual, I disconnected the charge, turned on the controller, and gave a red light instead of the pale blue as usual. I connected the controller to the phone via OTG and then returned to normal in both lights and without a problem, so be careful of this method
I know I'm late, but it's the 9 volt ones that you do NOT want to use. Those are the one's that'll damage both the controller and the battery. If it just says 5 volts with 1 amp or higher, you should be all set! 👍
No matter what cable or brick I try, it won’t even turn on. Idk what to do. It won’t charge and I have a 5v 1a charger and a 5v 2.4a charger. I even plugged it into my computer but no response. Somebody please help.

I destroyed my 2 ds4 with phone charger so I wouldn’t recommend
must be using the wrong charger
Always thought a phone charger would mess up my controllers. Thanks a lot
extremely helpful, thanks!
Lights of my controller doesn't turn on, is it charging?
No . I’ve have many wall chargers and non charged my controller . But when I used my battery power bank a cheap 10 dollar one that I had it started charging it . Lights were going on and off indicating it’s charging
Having the same problem. Non of my chargers work.

The USB 2.0 spec says it can between 4.4 and 5.5V. The devices are designed this in mind so all of them will work.
This is totally false. Faster charger will damage the controller battery, fast charger only output 9v 12v 15v etc when the load asked for it. A 5V load will not request higher charging volt from a faster charger.
Make sure the charger is not a quick or rapid charger by testing with cell 1st☝️
what happens if it doesnt glow at all? mine just flashes white for a minute or stays solid white the whole time. and yet it wont charge. it will at least be playable when plugged into the wall socket wire, but it drags left so much that its unplayable while plugged in
It helped, thank you!
thanks you so much. i always concern about wrong charging that damage my device.
Thank you, my hubs and i currently live in our car and he uses his controller with his phone and i was afraid it would mess it up.
Thanks, needed this 🙏🏽
thanks i was about to cry

The light won't come on for me despite having enough V/A
Thanks!
how bout if the controller only light once? will it still be charging or it stopped?
Thank you!!
I heard you cant use a fast charger on ps4 .. u had a 5- 9volt charger in video will that hurt controller
can I still use my charger if it has 5 volts 1000 Mp?

True i bought a ps4 controller new and it won't charge from a wall charger or a charging dock
@@I3ennyboiz Does it charge on the PS4 at least? PC should work too. 😀

@@jimmymcgill2557 If it's orange and blinking, it's probably fine.

This improve battery life
Thank you bro this really helped me
I need help I’ve done this and plugged a usb charger in the 5v plug and it charges it for 3 seconds then stops showing yellow light to show it is charging
Got One Today It's The Green Camouflage
I have that samsung charger and it doesn't charge the controller don't know why but it charges when plugged to my pc 😐
They made charging this unnecessarily complicated. So many issues connecting and charging it.
I have plugged my ps4 controller to 5.0v 2.0A charger, it charged but it was about to damage the controller, I discovered that the yellow light of controller It became intermittent and not smooth as usual, I disconnected the charge, turned on the controller, and gave a red light instead of the pale blue as usual.

Tried this with a 5.1 charger, didn’t. Work. Must be very specific
will 5 v and 1.55 A work🤔
Troll it doesn't work
How long does it stay charged?
8 minutes.
I read somewhere that using a phone charger ruined the battery, i guees it was the wrong charger
Mine says ( 9.0V = 1.67A or 5.0V = 2.0A )
Is that concerning? Or should I just plug it in and see what happens 🤔
I know I'm late, but it's the 9 volt ones that you do NOT want to use. Those are the one's that'll damage both the controller and the battery. If it just says 5 volts with 1 amp or higher, you should be all set! 👍
@themegaman91965 I've been using it since, and it doesn't seem to have affected anything.
@@lichdragon6690 Oh! Glad that's working for you! Whatever works for ya!
@@lichdragon6690 Not sure if my reply went through, but glad to hear that's working out for you! Whatever does the job!
@@themegaman91965 thanks
No matter what cable or brick I try, it won’t even turn on. Idk what to do. It won’t charge and I have a 5v 1a charger and a 5v 2.4a charger. I even plugged it into my computer but no response. Somebody please help.
can you try using a non data transfer cable? i was facing the same issue with a data transfer-cum-charging cable but when I used a normal charging cable, it worked just fine
You didn't show what kind of plug the controller has! OMG ahahaha I can't tell if I have the cable for it!
1000mA = 1A
Inside my controller is broken
But what if only once blink yellow
I had that problem too, after some days i was able to charge again, you need to plug out the controller after charging otherwise it will overcharge
Shat if i have a wall plus that can fo 5v, 9v and 15v
It support all the 3 i supposed
5.0V=3.0A bad or good ?
It's ok
My sam sung chagerwont fit into my conteller
Because its Type C
Not work
Who don't know how to do that?
Don't be dense lol
My one is already burnt how do you fix it?
Gone case bro 😓
You swish it into the dump truck
Put him on the Freezer
I’m using a 15 watt charger… rip
It's supposed to be adaptable
