How to charge the joystick ps4: from the console and the outlet, step by step

The newest joystick for the game console is called DualShock 4. The gamepad received a full improvement. New features were added, improved management and battery, and with it the possibilities of charging the gamepad expanded. In this article we will describe in detail how to conduct this process correctly.

How to charge the gamepad correctly

If you follow the rules below for proper charging of the joystick, it will help significantly extend its service life and permanently maintain all the characteristics of the tank and the ability to hold for a long time battery:

1. The battery must not be allowed to completely discharge. Lithium-ion batteries do not have memory functions. That is why they need to be put on charge. It's no secret that any battery has limitations associated with the cycles of such a process. To significantly increase their number, you need to set the gamepad to charge until it is fully discharged. As soon as you see that 15% is left, you can safely set the joystick to charge.

2. Several times a month, the joystick should be fully charged. If the joystick is in such a state for a long period of time, this will harm the battery as well. Discharge the battery completely several times a month. Charge at least 10 hours.
3. Stick to all existing storage rules. If you do not use the gamepad and do not plan, then be sure to ensure that it has its battery charged at 40%. If you keep the joystick with a charged battery for a long time, this will affect the decrease in capacity. And long-term storage in a discharged state will affect the loss of ability to hold the battery or even disable it.
4. If the original device is lost, then do not buy cheap Chinese fakes. The gamepad needs to be charged only with the original device. Chinese models are of poor quality, and their numerical indicators are not true. Using fake devices may damage the battery.
5. Do not overheat. Do not leave the battery in the sun or near a heat source.

As soon as you understand that the device is down, you need to take the following actions:

• Look at how many percent the joystick is charged. You can do this by holding the PS button.
• At the top in the corner of the screen you will see a notification. Then you will have about 30 minutes to put the joystick in charge. After this time, the gamepad will discharge to zero.

Pay attention to the following methods to charge the gamepad:

• Using a charging station (this method is rarely used, since not everyone can afford a charging station).
• From the console (the most common and easiest method).
• From a laptop or computer.
• Using charging from a wall outlet.

Joystick Charge: Step by Step

In order to charge the joystick from the ps4 console, they often use a USB cable or charger. The joystick is quite an expensive device and it will be unpleasant if it breaks due to the fact that you will not charge it correctly. We will tell you about the most difficult ways to charge the joystick.

From the console

You can charge the joystick from the console even during the game. You can also put on charging in sleep mode. This option is very convenient and simple.

Below we will tell you how to charge the joystick from the console in standby mode:

1. Connect the gamepad to the console. Use a USB cable.
2. Click on the menu, there select "settings".
3. Then click on “select features available in standby mode”.
4. There, select the item that allows you to charge the gamepand using a USB-cable. This must be done, otherwise the gamepand just can’t get put on charge.
5. Then put the console in standby mode. You just need to go higher and select the appropriate item there.

From the outlet

Some are not at all sure that it is possible to charge the device in this way. However, this is possible. To do this, use a cell charge. You will need to pay attention to the following nuances:

• Please note that the output current should be no more than 0.8A. Otherwise, the gamepad will simply be disabled.
• Perform the process with a USB cable from the device itself. Do not use the wire that came with the smartphone.

Important! Also note that the device must be of high quality. Otherwise, the joystick will be disabled.

There is no consensus that it is allowed to charge the joystick from a wall outlet. Everything will depend on the device itself and the USB cable. However, we do not recommend drawing with your gamepad. It is best to carry out the process using a high-quality cable or if you are 100% sure that the device is suitable for it. The ps4 gamepad is quite an expensive device and requires proper handling.
