Introduzione

This guide details how to replace the battery in a DualSense Edge PlayStation 5 controller. If your controller won't power on or is draining quickly, follow this guide for battery replacement.

A functional battery provides power to your controller. Unfortunately, all batteries will drain after going through a repeated amount of charge cycles. If you notice that your charged battery is draining more quickly than usual or, even worse, has ceased to hold a charge at all, you should replace your battery.

If your battery is swollen, take extra care and handle it with caution.

Make sure the controller is turned off before you begin.

Strumenti

Passo 1

Disconnect and power down your controller before you begin.
Use the opening pick to push the release latch on the back of the controller.

Passo 2

Remove the front plate.

Passo 3

Raise both left and right levers next to each stick module.

Passo 4

Slide both stick modules out of their slots.

Passo 5

Use the pick to pop both the R1 and L1 shoulder buttons out.
Use your thumb to prevent the button from flying across the room.

Passo 6

Slide the opening pick along the left and right inner trim to release the clips that secure the case.

Passo 7

Turn the controller around and continue sliding the opening pick along the trim to release the remaining clips.

Passo 8

Remove the middle casing now that all clips are released.

Passo 9

Use a Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the two 6.5 mm screws from the L1 and R1 button enclosures (one screw on each side).

Passo 10

Use your screwdriver to remove the seven 6.5 mm screws from the back of the controller.

Passo 11

Pull the lever to the left and lift up to detach it from the controller.
Be careful with the tiny spring attached to the lever, as it is easy to lose once detached.

No mention of removing the two additional screws under the spring?

Passo 12

Insert an opening pick between the front and rear casing and gently pry them apart.

Passo 13

Use your hands to pull the rear case off of the controller carefully.
Make sure to go from bottom to top when removing the case so as not to pull on the trigger buttons.

Passo 14

Use your opening pick to lift the battery from its enclosure and expose the wire connection.
The battery is loose in the enclosure; hold the controller with the battery facing upward so it does not fall out.
