Bert replaces the battery of the original Dualshock 4 controller. A 3rd party battery was purchased in this DIY for $9 off eBay (link below). Magnetized Tri-Wing screwdriver is suggested for this DIY.

Works great. All I have to say is watch out for the small springs in the L2 and R2 buttons. They are not critical but do provide a bit of spring back. Might want to make sure they go back in.

Ugh, those are probably what fell out of my remote when I opened it. I have no idea where they go.

My Dualshock 4 battery bought on the PS4 Pro release date, have been working excellent & strong ever since the release date. Not until recently i noticed battery only lasting a day or so. Extremely happy with the strong performance through the years. Also want to point out i am using the 3.5 inch plug to run a couple of AKG MK2 240 studio phones through the DualShock 4, as idont have a stereo system. So battery is being pushed pretty much to the max! 👍

This battery does not support even half the charging capacity of the original. After giving a full charge in the morning, if you play at night, it will start with only 2 bars. The original, if I fully charge it, and play it several days from now, it will have a full battery. This one, too, does not support the energy. It lasts a maximum of 1h and 40. In fact, I never had a problem with the original battery, I just bought another one to try to replace the one of a non-original DS4 that I got as a gift.

My original PS for a controller battery died. I purchased an aftermarket for around $35 on Amazon which later someone dropped and broke one of the buttons. I decided to swap batteries. Had to cut connection from battery which was different from aftermarket. Swapping battery operation was successful. Thanks for your tip on how to properly pry the controller cover.

Removed the battery of my old PS4 controller just now, removing the casing proved rather difficult either due to the controller being old or i'm just not yanking hard enough first time i've done this. I noticed the ribbon cable's are crumpled up and i dont have plastic clipper so it took a little while to remove the battery.

@@SeasonedGaming Again,thanks for the video,it was very helpful to know not to pry the front cover off because of the charging port cable.I installed the battery,charged it for about two or three hours and it’s working better than expected,I switched my headset to one that doesn’t need charging so it’s only hooked up to the controller and uses that same power to work so swapping to a better battery was necessary for that too. I’m currently looking for some grips for the controller because i have sweaty hands when I’m playing for hours,do you have any recommendations?
