[@JohnGlasscock]

@@lenorkhide2873 yes, most USB adapters that are not fast charging will be 1.5 - 2.0

[@waycoolscootaloo]

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)

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.

[@misfortune5007]

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

The USB adapts the power that the device needs.

[@Bigheadedwon]

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.

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!

It doesn’t matter if it‘s 2A or 1.5A, the charger adapts to the device that‘s connected to it. Same with phones. If I plug in my older iPhone with a fast charger, the charger will only charge the amount of power that fits the iPhone!

[@reykennedy5716]

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.

[@sizlax]

​@@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).

[@driverdis3488]

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.

I used a fast charging adapter on my PS5 controller, definitely shortened the battery life by hours :/ This guy ain't joking around.

[@SantiYounger]

Does anyone know if it's safe to charge PS5 controlled it with my PC on USB-2 and on USB-3? any thoughts?

[@dwarakvlogs]

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.

[@naylisyazwina6836]

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

[@dwarakvlogs]

@@naylisyazwina6836 so you play in ps3 controller with pc/laptop?

[@serraxer]

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.

I think you’re supposed to just charge them off the ps5

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.

[@MidnightPodcast]

Wall charging doesn't work. Only by plugging it into the PS5's USB port. Tried MANY times. One out of every 10 tries it will charge off the wall, but 99% of the time it's a complete dud. WILL NOT charge. Must be a software inside the controller that relies on the PS5 USB port only to give it it's charge. Pretty fucking stupid if you ask me.

[@danbooke2001]

1.5a or greater chargers is getting extremely close to that "fast" charger compatibility. I wouldn't recommend anything over the 1.0a honestly.

[@TheOnlyTwitchR6]

Thats not the way fast charging works. "Fast Charging" is charging above 5v. (9/12v charging) more amps has nothing to do with that.

[@hadroncollider17]

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.

[@TheOnlyTwitchR6]

@@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.

Im always using a fast charger with my ps5 controller, and nothing happend you liar

@@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.

Not really, modern fast chargers switches to 5v automatically, this video just useless bs as previous video about dualshock charging process.

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.

[@AquacianRazz]

What if you have a Nintendo Switch Charger and use it to charge the controller?

[@headboartusk]

Stupid question - does it matter which way around the plug goes into the pS5 controller? It seems to fit either way around - on PS4 the plug was longer on the top so could only go in one way round - and my kids stuffed more than one controller trying to jam it in the wrong way round. But does it matter on PS5? I am asking as having alot trouble keeping the controllers charged. Plug ion overnight and in morning nothing has happened.

[@EBK-th9zf]

Using the wall adapter is perfectly fine

[@iMonZ00]

Why do you make so many bullshit video. The controller is using usb-C charging which is upto 15W Everything else is PowerDelivery which waits for a CPU to proceed with more wattage (like a MacBook or every smartphone is using) So until the controller says „Give me more power“ nothing over 15W will happen. Except you use pretty cheap chargers but these you should avoid at all. This is the third bullshit video from you that was recommended to me. First one was that the front ports are only usb-2 and you should only plug your hard drives in the back. So the front USB-C port is 3.1 and I use it everytime with my movie USB flash drive.

[@GaffarNahid]

rubbish, charging my xbox one/x/ps4/ps5 controller with wall adapter for last 8 years, nothing happened to my 10 controller

[@Benjamin-vd2gk]

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!!

[@PTGN87]

Yea this seems pretty dumb . You can literally use any wall adapter and you'll be just fine a majority of tech already has stuff built in to prevent over charging.
