    Thank you for the thorough guide! My PS3 controller has to be plugged in AND I had to disable the vibration function because it cannot hold a charge, so a battery replacement is definitely needed. Definitely will order one of those kits.

      A year later but thanks for this comment. COD kept turning off my ps3 controller and I had an idea it was the battery but just haven’t got one yet. So I couldn’t play the game. Then seeing your comment I turned off the vibration and I’ll be damned it doesn’t disconnect every ten seconds. Great temp fix until I get a new battery. Thanks

    Nice job, very helpful and I subscribed. I was just curious as I am going through this too how are the Batmax Batteries doing for holding a charge? I know you only did this 11 months ago, just trying to find a reliable battery. Thanks!

    I found a reviewer of the batmax who took the grey plastic case off and found a 500 mAh inside. Looks like all the others on Amazon are the same one with a different sticker, most lying about the capacity.

    Great video. I also had a problem unplugging the battery The plastic housing kept cracking and breaking as i tried to wiggle it out with needlenose pliers. I see that you just pulled so if it breaks apart i hope i can take some clamps and pull it all out.Thanks.

    I bought a second hand PS3 slim on ebay in very good condition. But the same sixaxis controller that came with the console disconnects by itself every 30 mins to an hour and when i turn it back on the battery is at 75%.... So is this an issue with the console or the battery in the controller?

    Interesting. My controller didn't have those separate pieces under the R2 buttons. Forgot how spongy the trigger buttons were. Watch those baby springs behind the trigger buttons, if they're not seated correctly your buttons won't work right.

    Why the hell didn't Sony make their batteries easier to replace like just unscrew and its available like the wii-U is so easy to replace batteries without fiddly bits. This is why I always prefer the Xbox pads they are just AA batteries which means rechargeable 2800mah = eternal power and easy to charge or replace after 5 years or so lol

    • @SmallSpoonBrigade

      They didn't really plan on people playing with the same controllers for so long. But, this is hardly the only design problem with them. I have never been able to get them to charge without plugging them into a PS3, Computer or something else that does more than just charge. I don't know why they did that as it's rather stupid to require that you plug it into the PS3 when you might have more than just two contollers charging at the same time. I only have one controller, but I've heard that some games will allow more than 2 players at once, meaning that as the controllers age, keeping them all charged can require creativity.

    Why does the battery get swollen you left the controller in the sun?

    • @DirtyBlack997
      @DirtyBlack997 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      As the battery ages, this chemical reaction no longer completes perfectly, which can result in the creation of gas (called outgassing), leading to a swollen battery. Additionally, if the battery's internal layers don't maintain proper separation (due to damage or defect), outgassing, swelling, and even fire can occur.
