- So today I will be showing you how to charge your PS4 controller with a Phone charger safely at the wall. Follow these tips as shown in the video to make sure your controller does not blow up or get damaged in the process as all chargers are different as some can be used while others cant.
The instructions are clear and easy to get, that man.
Thank you for sharing. It’s saved me from throwing my controller against the wall. I had the right charger 5V and it worked so perfectly well!!! Fully charged and ready to play
Happy gaming.
Ricardo Gardener I have an Anker Powercore 20000 mah. It stated on the back of the powerbank that the output is 5v - 3a / 9v - 2a / 12v - 1.5a. Is it safe to charge my dualshock 4 controller? Can anyone help?
does the controller need input or output?
Babobabalol output
Hafiz Rahman don’t even try
Outstanding!!! People like u who upload facts with clear instructions r exactly what makes the net so useful. From a parent getting ready for Christmas by learning the in & outs of a new PS4 Slim, I thank u very much. The best to u & urs. Always!!
Thank you really appreciated and the same to you and the family over the holiday.
@Fredrik Jensen yes you can 1A is 1000ma which is good
@@xjbxgamereviews7708 what about a 1.55 A. is that good or bad?
I heard this before about more networking with PS4 holder with million,s of sellers.
you can charge ut with every phone charger, the quick chargers comunicate with the phone, then the phone is telling it to give more power. this doesnt happen with a ps4 controller. a quick charge block has a standard output of 5V. and for the other questions, yes 5V is ok, doesnt matter how much mA or A. the ps4 controller will use a max of 800 mA. so it wont go over 800mA. also it also charges if you have less then 800mA charger
Thanks man.I ended up learning lesson about chargers in general.Now I know why my phone's battery got damaged quickly back in the day
Thank you for the safety tips. Now I can feel relieved that my controller won't get damaged. 👍
when fully charge the light wont turn off ? i charge many time. and i check with ds4 software is 100% but light still slowly blink orange.
thk a lot i began charging a ps3 / pc joypad and remembered i fried a keyboard already so unplugged it immediately and plugged it into the computer. hopefully it will be fine was a standard charger ... didn't know it could damage with a fast one and the keyboard indeed, used the fast one... well thx again
Bro I finally found some one who gets straight to the point and explains well thank you so much sir you deserved my like and a new subscriber
Thanks Ricardo. Very helpful! I thought my controller was broken but it was just that I was using a charger too powerful
Glad I could help!
That just means that is the required minimum current and it will not pull any more than 5v @ 800mA. I’ve used 2 amp chargers just fine on many things like this. The controller has onboard circuitry to prevent overcharging and overcurrent with a microchip called DW-01 built right into the battery. Plus, the charging circuit itself has software to limit the charging current since you can charge and play at once.
Chris Storer so basically to sum up what you’re saying if I’m not wrong is if you use a certain type of charge the controller won’t charge based on what it is?
You are amazing dude you saved my new controller from nearly damaging
I have a 5 volts 2miliams charger can I charge the controller with it please answer
This video helped in the first few minutes but I’m glad he added a lot more for the people who need the help great video!
Thank u
tysm I was going to get a dual shock 4 for my Nintendo switch but I don't have a PS4
yoo bro im about to do the same thing how do u connect the ps4 controller to the nintendo switch i hope u can answer me man :)
@@Luxchuriii I recommend you to use 8BitDo USB wireless adapter. Works like a charm.
Glad I watched this before i Tried to plug it my iPhone block and seen sparks I instantly unplugged it and watch this video to the end totally helped me save my controller!!!!
Gkad u took the time to watch.
Aye Sea you can’t use iPhone block no wonder my controller dosent charge
Does the controller have to constantly blink orange while it’s in charge like when it does in the PlayStation console?
Because when I connect it to charge it only blinks orange once and that’s it. So I have no idea if it’s really charging or not 🤷🏻♂️
Same problem here
Same
Dead Cell79 yeah it’s charging
Dead Cell79 When your controller is constantly blinking orange than that means your controller is charging, if it only blinks once it means the controller is already fully charged.
Mert thanks that helped
i have a 5v - 2A, does it charge?
So it is OK to charge my controller through my cellphone charger with a 5V and 2.0A right?
Thanks man🆒🎦video.
Greetzz from the Netherlands.
(05-08-19)Update, after watching your video I tried to charge my PS controller based on your advice with my iPhone 6+ charger it was to much underpowered an iPhone charger delivers 5 Watts (5 volts at 1000 mA). to charge and play at the same time is not an option I could play for some 25 min. not more. It is safe when you’re using a 5 volts charger but do not exceed the 8000 mA. I want to know are there phone chargers that can deliver 5volts 8000 mA?
Thanks
It was a good video
I used the same adapter and charger for charging my ps4 controller too
Can i ask how do i know if the controller is already fully charged?
Bro my chargers output is this 5.0v=2.0v 10.0 w can i charge my PS4 controller???
What a blessing this guy! ❤️ I was about to dump 2 controllers because the batteries are wasted. And i found this. Thank you so much! 🙏
No worries
Now this is how to do an instructional video folks. Perfect.
My charger is 5.0v = 1.55a and my controller is 5v is that ok??
I just got a PS4 controller and the guy who works there recommended an android charger so I bought that but I have an apple charging block so I don’t know if it’ll work
Excellent video, learnt all i need. Ready for game play, well my daughter anyways 👍🏾
aw thats cute, you should game too love, don't let your daughter have all the fun!
does it work 5V 1A ? please answer, Thank you.
Really helpful thanks but how do you know it’s fully charged
Do u need a ps4 for the ps4 controller to charge?. Cuz i heard u need the ps4 on to charge the controller
Thank you I play cod mobile and Fortnite on my phone with my ps controller and I’m about to head to my grandmas but they have a Xbox one so I wouldn’t be able to charge it but now I have this info
Is it alright if it’s at 5V 2.4a will that cause damage?
My phone charger says 5v at 1.0 A will that work or will it still charge?please answer i dont want my controller to burn out.
That should work, however for some reason Apple branded chargers don’t work
these instructions are great both my PS 4 controllers work thank you I don't have to plug them into my ps 4 now
Yeh saves time and power
How about 5V - 2A?
Is it safe?
Mine charger is 5V-2A which us bad right
Now I understand the reason why I needed to replace my ds4 battery last week. thanks man!
Ok my friend
Very useful and clear cut explanation! Thanks man!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Is it ok using output more than 800mA? 850mA for example.
Is 5V-2A ok ?
I think so, since he said it will only draw the amps or the A's that it needs and the main thing is that it is 5v and not 9v.
Thanks can we charge it 10 volts iPad charger pls reply sir
Quite educational. Never thought of these numebers on devices or plugs.
Thanks for the video!
I think if u add iPhone accesories as example, it would be more helpful though.
I have a question, if it’s only exceeding the limit by only 200 bullets to damage my controller?
Would it still work if the output is "5V = 2A" ?
Yo bro it is working? With that charger?
Can u list a links of the chargers. I want to buy it..
Can i use Samsung Charger 5.3v-2.0a ?
Is it work if i use 5v 2a?
I have an Anker Powercore 20000 mah. It stated on the back of the powerbank that the output is 5v - 3a / 9v - 2a / 12v - 1.5a. Is it safe to charge my dualshock 4 controller? Can anyone help?
what if my charging cable is 5.3V = 2.0A / 9.0V = 1.67A but the adapter is 5V = 1.5A can it be use?
Adapter is the source, the cable can transfer max up to those units.
@@ANTAGONIST_2.0 I think it means that it won't charge safely then because the adapter output is lower than the cable output since it couldn't maximize the output from the cable
Does an 5V 2.1A charger work? Not sure because amperage is a little high.
Can it charge only at the console?when u charge it on the console do u need the console to be on or off for the dualshock4 to charge?
Is it also safe to charge your DS4 on computer usb port?
Computer usb ports are usually 5v 500mA
Bro it's okay to charge my ps4 controller ? 5V=2A
Or 9V=2A
Can you use 5v 800 below??? Please reply
Lots of confusion on this subject. Power supplies are rated to deliver a specific voltage at a maximum current. Trying to power a load that requires more current than the supply can provide will overload the power supply and drive it into an unspecified operating condition (voltage foldback, overheating, shutdown, oscillation, etc.). Electronic "loads”, like the DualShock controller, specify an operating voltage at a minimum current rating, like +5V @ 800ma, meaning it requires +5 Volts (say within +/- 10%) and will draw a maximum of 800ma of current from the power source (charger). So ... any functioning charger that specifies a +5V output at 800ma (0.8A) OR HIGHER should charge the controller. A charger that specifies any other voltage other than +5V is likely to damage the controller (though most all such devices have some level of overvoltage protection). A charger that specifies less than 800ma should not be used because it does not meet the specified current rating indicated by the manufacturer (Sony). Chargers that provide "Rapid Charging" should work fine (if they meet/exceed the power requirement) unless the manufacturer specifically states it should not be used to charge standard devices. Chargers that deliver less than 800ma offer no guarantee of working (slow charging), as they’re clearly underpowered for this requirement. The problems many of us are [likely] having is we live in a world of cheap consumer-grade electronics, where specifications don’t necessarily represent reality. If your compliant charger doesn’t seem to properly charge your DualShock controller (and some of mine don’t), it’s likely the charger is underperforming, the contacts or cable are not making a solid connection (or unable to deliver 800ma of current), or the controller itself is "finicky" as to its power requirements.
Will this work?
Adaptive fast charging
Travel Adapter
Model: EP-TA20HBE
INPUT: 100-240 V ~
OUTPUT: 9.0 1.67 A or 5.0 V 2.0 A
Adaptive fast charging
I’m getting a DualShock btw
@@purplemc4672 Good example of a "who knows". It's an older fast-charger designed by Samsung to specifically charge their devices. It might, but I'd recommend using a charger (5V @ >800ma) that's specifically designed to charge "USB-compliant" devices.
Can u send me a link for a charger to charge a ps4 controller?
it shows yellow light while charging my ps4 controller using the charger, is yellow light bad?
Hello , I just bought a new ps4 controller. But when in set it on charge and press the ps button, the front light just blinks for 3-4 second . What should I do
THANK YOU SO MUCH you are so smart and now I can play again THANK YOU
Have fun
Thank you dude, you really helpd me out!
Glad to
I have phone T10 Fast charger
Can I use that on my controler ps4 for charging?
Could i use a IPad/IPhone (IOS) adapter to charge the PS4 controller?
will 5.3v damage the battery of the controller?
im new on ps4 controller and when i charge it its color
yellow- orange i guess then it slowly turns off then it just never light? is it on rest mode?
What if it is already damaged do you know how to fix that. I know I'm late but
Is 5V at 2A fine? I can't find 1.5A here, it's always 2A or 3A
Do you need a playstain to connect to cod with controller
I've watched like 10 of these videos today and your video is the only one that i can understand properly, the other are too confusing, but you simplify it. Thanks alot
Thanks I try to make things as simple as possible its easier at the end of the day.
@@rickytlc1985 You are truly a master at the art of gamer helping
soo. Mine shows 5.0V = 1.55 A Help?
Thank you for teaching me how to charge my controller it really worked 🙏🙏
You're welcome! Isaiah
hey, i have a charger and its 5V 1A is it good to use
Thanks bro. Very informative. May God bless you.
Thanks for the great content , not a lot of people out there making honest content.
Thank u- I do my best.
a normal 5v 2.0A is safe anything beyond that will cause the controller to heat up too much
I have a regular I phone charger that has 5V and 1A will that work or no
I barely comments on videos but I think I need to like subscribe and comment on your video because it was helpful as heck. Thank you.
Very glad to hear that
Thanks for educating.
I've charger : 5v and 2.1mA is that will not damge my controller
If in dout dont risk it
Can you use a serge protector with usb port??
Um, my pc can also charge phones by USB ports an dusb cable, can I do the same to my controller
Can I charge my controller with a 5V 1000mA without damage it?
is laptop usb port enough to charge this?
omg dude ur explanation is sooo good man i love your effort thanks for every thing i will like and subscribe
Thanks for the support
My charger output is 5V = 2A is that safe?
Is it safe if i use 5v at 2A?
Thank you for the answer🙂
No
Thank you sir
Hello I have a question Ricardo I'm going to buy a separate V2 Dualshock 4 for my gaming laptop & my question is can I use my iPhone's 5V charger as you've mentioned? Because I don't know whether I'll get a charging cable or not please reply because I don't have an android with a 5V charger
Is it good to charge my controller with a 5.0 V = 1.55 A ?
Can i use any micro usb cable to charge it?
i have a question why i use 5v=1A phone changer and i try to change it, there has no light come on
samee
Can a standard apple iPad charger work? (5.2V and 2.4A)
JMAN3811 FN No, it will not, as a matter of fact it will damage your controller battery. Use a brick that has 5V as output and the mA/A is over 800.
I have a normal apple charger with 5V and 1A it says, this would be fine to use right?
9:40 As long as it's 5v it's ok
So I just need to get a 5v charger and I am good to go.will my realme 6pro charger work.please reply I am scared😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰
Can i use iphones head charger the iphone charger is 5volts
mine only lights 1 time when charging...is it charging or not?
Thank you, kind sir.
Can you connect back to the ps4?
Hey i get new usb without the charger so ican charge my controller with it it’s 2.0A mix
What would you say about an iPhone charger that says +5V===2.1A
What i am insecure about is the plus sign before the 5V. or should i try to get one that only says 5V?
Bro what type of cable do I use?
My ps4 usb is not working can i use samsung phone usb?
