Dude if ps4 can run games with mind blowing graphics like red dead 2 and last of us 2 then ps4 can rule till like 2026

GSHYNE87 YEA WHO CHARGES THEIR CONTROLLER LIKE THAT!

I have never ever ever ever ever ever ever charged my dualshock using a plug. Who would be dumb enough to use a plug to charge dualshock??

Stoneryoda 937 agreed the PS4 controller battery does suck I just hope it improved on the PS5. Far as the xbox one controller goes it definitely last longer I use the charge & play kit tho I don't deal with batteries it's 2020

I agree. Been using that for a long time. Still the same controller and still working perfectly ok

It depends on what wall adapter you use, I use the old small apple one.

Your chargers might be at the same voltage as the ds4, soo there will be no problem, if you use turbo chargers it can lower the lifespan from the battery or even kill your controller

hi,. I have charger here that it says 5v / 9v /12v on the outout,..is that safe to use considering that it also says 5v for the output?

@@projectkisaragi111 The charger is either QC or PD compatible. Since the Dualsense isn't compatible with either the charger will default to regular 5V charging so it'll be fine.

@@tomburnham6640 thanks man!,..appreciate it :)

Then what is the problem with my ps4 controller it still lighting orange or yellow😭

Evidently not

I have only one charger slot now,beacuse i stuck a cheap-ass cable that it couldn charge from under the TV furniture sooo I sometimes charge it from a wall charger but it is exactly 1A and 5V

Yess ssirr

When you have an external harddrive and a PSVR you kinda have to find other options.

shady. Right

Hi everybody this is PS4 Controller Fixer23 here. I'm going to show you an important tip that may increase the lifespan of a PS4 Controller. Before I do that make sure to subscribe to my channel, and if you're already subscribed hit the thumbs up button. Also, don't forget to hit the notification bell to stay up to date on all my videos. Also, follow me on Facebook and Twitter. I have a patreon account now. For just donating $20 a month I can continue you great videos and I'll send all the people who donate a lock of my hair and picture of my PS4. Let's get started. *Pointless 30 second intro. This video is brought to you by Raid Shadow Legends. Now I usually stick to games on the console, but this mobile game is so phone. I was hastened of this game at first, but after 30 seconds I was hooked. This is easily my most played game. You can have fun playing too. Link is found in the description below. So I have a special guest with me today. Say hi to PS4 Fanboy8. Thanks for helping me out Fanboy8. I'll be joining him in a video on his channel in the future, so subscribe to his channel. You don't want to miss out. PS4 Controllers cost about $60. That is a lot of money. Doing this one thing could cause them to break. So don't do this. Really don't do this. I did this and it broke. I had to order a new PS4 Controller. It cost $60 and had to wait for it to ship. I highly recommend you take my advice. Do you mean as opposed to something like that?

@@Skyesbeautifuldream ok

How much volt charger do you use

My controllers break from input parts like the analog stick's sensor wearing out before the battery gives me any issues.

This. Threre is a basic misunderstanding of how electricity works by the videomaker.

You should be clearer The controller will only draw the AMPS/current that it needs.

Yeah and iam just wondering about 20K likes on this video are this 20K peoples dumb as videomaker or its just bots.

@@serraxer The thumbs down are the ones who understood how it works 😁

@@serraxer people make RU-vidrs their idols and will automatically like their videos for no reason. It's the internet

Yup, charged my controller using mains power and had ps4 from release and was still using original controller when I upgraded to the Ps5. Incidentally, having used every ps since the 1st gen and never having had any issues with the controllers. Until the 5. I've had to send 2 controllers back for replacements, only had it since July.

Same here.. never had a problem since 2016.. still working perfect.

Even the guy in the video says he never had a problem. Personal experience does not cover everything and he's just pointing this out to reduce risk for others who might end up breaking their controller.

Just because it didn't happen to you doesn't mean it has to be nonsense

My Controller died affter six months because of that so its not complete nonsene

YES. THIS!

I just charge it with my ps4 just to make sure im not ruining the battery

Damn I have been using a fast charger on my controller this whole time luckily I havent had problems

@@lockpep5992 The problem may happen by accident. Sometimes the power controllers do not recognize the type of device connected, and then the power chip inside the gamepad (not a battery that would be easy to replace) may break. I am related to the service and have seen many gamepads that have failed due to “fast charging”.

I just use a wireless charger lol

Or you can fix the controller by replacing the charge port assembly, it's about 10 bucks on Amazon, no need to buy a new controller just for that.

Lol same

That sounded oddly specific 🤔

Well we know who ain’t playing cod

I play cod and fortnite and all those games...

Same. All the people saying dont do it were dumb and used fast chargers 😂 The older controllers “can” use fast chargers but eventually shit in them gets blown. Been wall charging mine the past 5 years as well with no issues

He's watching you. 👀

I know he always does it, its uncanny.

Same here. My controller L stick showing some problem after charging with some different usb cable. Dammit

Same, but my case is strange, The cable I used to charge my controller stop working but just for my controller, in other devices the cable works fine, I tried other cables thinking it was the same problem in this video but other cables charge my controller just fine. At least thanks to this video I'm not going to charge my controller with a fast charge charger

@@AngeloT2001 could be the connection prongs in your cable and/or controller got slightly damaged or bent. This happens a lot. If they both get damaged then they won't line up but an undamaged cord can line up with a damage connector and an undamaged connector can line up with a damaged cord. So if the slots in your phone are not damaged, they can still receive charge from a damaged cord. The issue a lot of ps4 users run into is the two little triangle shaped prongs sticking up from the charger cord can get pushed down and will will not securely latch into the controller even if you push and hold the cord indy the controller with your hand. Many other devices have their own internal patches so that they can accept most 3rd party charges.

I still regularly use the one that came with mine and never had a problem yall just have anger issues

Adrenalinaddict yeah but you can’t use you controller if both are dead. My friends have this problem and it’s annoying when they can’t play because their controllers need to charge and they’re too lazy to get a usb normal cord

😂 u knew better than using a fast charger 😂

You sure that's what broke it though? USB devices only take the amount of power they need since the charger doesn't just force all it's power into it. Just get the voltage right (usually 5v) and you're usually fine even if the amps are over

@@javianbrown8627 the first ps4 controllers didnt have that protection. The second generation of ps4 controllers has it but the first generation was intended to be charged only off the ps4

Andy Kim not true. It ruined two controllers for me. I dare you to keep charging them on that wall charger and watch what happens

@@coachkboxing2675 it's been a good 3 years and it's still going strong

Ayyyy

🤦‍♂️

because the algorithm only includes you on your 4th controller

damn

I been wall charging my controller for 3 years never used the ps and my controller is fine

Yeah these kinds of videos are pretty dumb. The problem is when people use adapters from china. Like; do you _really_ expect a cheap chinesium charger that's barely rated to be smart enough to not detonate expensive batteries to keep your batteries healthy ? This (and money) are the reason why companies make proprietary chargers. Don't charge expensive stuff with cobbled together plastic timebombs.

@JohnKontos10 you should use the 2A to correctly charge you controller, the charger is capable of pushing 2A not that it always pushes 2A. Also what the battery says is kinda pointless since we dont charge the batteries directly we do it via a charge controller, the same controller that tells fast chargers that this device dont need fast charge and will only use the 5v line

Well I do not know how or why but my DS4 was fried from powerbank

Resistance of the circuit will determine what current can flow through it. The stated output of the charger is the upper limit of what it is capable of outputting. It's like using a 10 amp appliance from a power outlet rated at 15 amps

And then there's me, who doesn't even have a Playstation but continue to watch this video.

im still stuck with a PS3! but thank the lords i have a xbox 360 so i can pla GTA san andreas on ps3 and GTA V on xbox

@@steez1921 ❤️

Aye that's right we kinda the same. Except I had my controller for 6 or seven years and it's still good. Just that the light bar doesn't turn on anymore, the rubber things on the joysticks are gone and the l2 and r2 buttons have broke 3 times but I crazy glue it back. Other than that it still works.

This is true what you said the fast chargers do detects when a device has a 5 volt batteries & will adjust the charge to not too over charge the battery. I read this while ago about old cell phones with 5volt batteries get charged with fast chargers .

I knew i was right, thank u

I’m not an electrician, but even I knew this.

Sven Kowatz BEWARE: There’s a glitch in the controllers themselves which make the chargers think that it need more than 5 volts, If your controller gets warmer than when you charge it via the USB port STOP USING IT!!!

It makes no difference whether or not you use a wall charger.

Why? Why not just use the ps4 itself?

@@AverageAlien you know…I sometimes I wanna sit back and play instead of letting it charge

@@flowerylemon612 you can do that with the ps4

Same i let it charge to morning

Congratulations?

Not every android charger work, you need to look up the voltage on wich works. Most all original phone charger works, the cheap ones are not good either for your phone or controller.

i have broken at least 3 of them, never knew what is was but know i see its because of the charger. the controller will work, but once you go charge it again, it won charge no matter what... it also doesnt stop working everytime i charge, i could charge it like that for a couple of weeks, then all of a suden i go and charge and nothing happens

2 of my controllers are dead because of wall charging i geus it depends on the charger

Same good thing the ps5 controller has usbc

Same. The micro USB port on the DS⁴ is upside-down compared to most other devices. Take a paint marker and put a small dot on the "top" side of the wire's male connection point to make it easily visible at a glance. 👍

I have 2 controllers I bought in 2015 and they work fine. The only thing wrong with them are the batteries are worn out...they discharge very quickly.

Mine have lasted the entire 5 years I've had the console. Same as with all previous PlayStations. I've never had to replace one. Sometimes I buy a new one every once in a while just to have another color. It sounds like you don't know how to take care of your stuff.

Thanks man

That’s what I was thinking too. The chargers won’t put out 9v unless the device calls for it. Maybe there’s something wrong with the controllers that fools the quick chargers into thinking it’s a quick charge device

Nicksperiments Chargers pretty much universally (and for USB, 100% definitely) supply controlled constant voltage up to a maximum current capability dependent on the charger. If your charger supplies 9V, it will always supply 9V, and this breaks down only if a device tries to pull more current from it than the charger can put out, effectively shorting it out even if there is some resistance from the device (and then, if it's USB, it will shut down entirely and turn on again intermittently until the "short" ends). The only special circumstance with USB is that Quick Charge allows the device to ask the charger to switch to a higher voltage (by communicating with a digital protocol over USB) which supports faster charging for devices that have this capability. The voltage would still be constant, but at a higher constant level. As Valentin said, what this video says is bogus. What's happening is most likely batteries going bad because they've exceeded their lifetime, have manufacturing defects, or suffered impact or heat damage of some sort. This is a normal thing batteries do. It could also come from issues in the controller's charge circuitry, which could be failing to stop routing power to the battery when it's fully charged. A charger cannot cause this to happen unless it's damaged and would fry a controller just as easily as a phone or any other device.

Xbox but ps cant do this

It usually happens when you set your controller down flat when have it plugged in like how it shows in the thumbnail. I’ve tested it myself too. I’ve had two cables start disconnecting constantly around 4 months of purchasing them when i laid them flat. Now I unplug the cable every time I’m not using a controller for my PC, and it’s still working fine after nine months. It seems leaving it flat puts pressure on the chargeport and cable making it mess up overtime. Hope this helps you. Just disconnect the cable from the controller whenever you’re not using it for your PC.

Not power, voltage. Overvoltage may cause problems. You could plug a 0.5A rated device into literally ANY amperage charger and it will either take all the amperage it can get (if the charger is rated at less than 0.5A), in which case the charger may overheat, OR it will take exactly 0.5A (regardless of whether the charger is rated at 0.5A, 2A, 10A, etc.). However if you were to plug in ANY amperage charger with the wrong voltage (so 6v, 9v, 12v, etc.) then your device will be damaged. Thing is, that I know of, NO USB chargers have higher voltages than any USB port will accept. That's a standard. They are all 5v.

That's how you should do it

Well aren't you filthy rich!

@@donnibrasko1 lol 😂 why? I thought having 2 controller's was standard for gamers.

U need data transfer cable not just charging cable 😇

I appreciate your support

Tragic. Mine turned on again months later

My V2 didn't make it 😂

it's not good to do it cuz it could damage the battery

If you had one of the lower end ones, you had a slow charger (0.5A output).

@@KofolaDealer I don't remember what the phone was but the point is it charged the controller!

Well, you can actually charge with anything you have, the problem is that the battery damages faster. I have a controller that I bought with a PS4 Pro last year and this one I used a Samsung charger, the battery life is like half now. The one that came with the PS4 doesn’t have that issue since I always charged it with the PS4.
