remtalemta Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) My older DualShock stops charging for good when I turn the console back on from rest mode even if it only has been charging for just, say, 20 minutes. Charging cannot be resumed after that. However, when I leave the PS4 in rest mode all the way, the charging concludes normally. My other controllers don't act like this.

DaivRules Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Have you tried hooking up the controller to different USB power adapters? Check if it stops charging at a certain number of Amps input? The battery might not be able to accept it's nominal voltage depending on it's age and the console might be putting out the acceptable voltage in rest mode, but not when resumed. I'm also curious if you actually turn your PS4 all the way off, leave it off for a couple minutes, then turn it on if it acts the same. The USB spec should step down voltage if it exceeds tolerances and should reset once a device is disconnected, but sometimes the hardware doesn't reset like it should until a full power down and reboot.

Occasionally I charge it through the USB port on my PC, I didn't try other outlets yet. I'll attempt the switching the console off and on thing next time the controller needs charging, thanks.

MadMardigan_88 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I actually charge mine through a wall outlet next to where I sit. Use it also for my headset. Have never had an issue with doing it like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
