The DualSense is one of the best controllers released by Sony, it has many features that come with it and some of them you can add to it. 

Now since the DualSense has a rechargeable battery in it, it can drain as you are playing your games and you will need to recharge your DualSense. 

You are comfortably seated on your couch and you wouldn't want to connect your dual sense to the console and play while wired so the only thing you can think of is to charge the DualSense as fast as you can to get back into gaming.

To answer the question How fast can I charge my DualSense? The DualSense controller takes approximately 3 hours to charge from 0% to 100%.



DualSense charging speed

You might want to get back into gaming as fast as you can because your friends are playing and you want to play as well. But your DualSense battery is dead and you don't want to play while wired, so you would want to fast charge it. 

Both the PlayStation and the charging dock do not support fast charging the DualSense. The DualSense will charge normally whether connected to the PlayStation 5 console or the charging dock.


How long before my DualSense is fully charged?

The DualSense controller can take approximately 3 hours to charge from 0% to 100%. You can either connect it to the PlayStation 5, charging dock or your Smartphone charger.

How Long Does The DualSense Battery Last?

The DualSense controller battery lasts around 12-15 hours of Gameplay, but it really depends on the Game you are playing. 

The DualSense has Haptic feedback and if the the game you are playing is giving so much feedback your DualSense will drain faster and you will have to recharge it.

Does the DualSense support fast charging?

Unfortunately the DualSense controller does not support fast charging. Some people say that the DualSense controllers support fast charging, but if you try to connect it to any fast charger it will charge normal as if it were connected to the dock or the PlayStation 5 itself.

Can I use my smartphone fast charger to charge my DualSense?

Unfortunately the DualSense does not support fast charging even if you use a fast charger to charge it. It will charge normally as if it where connected to the PlayStation 5 or the charging dock.


Why Doesn't the DualSense Support Fast Charging

Most fast charging chargers communicate with the device it is connected to and the device gives feedback, the fast charger then adjusts itself to the right voltage and current to deliver to the device. 

If it hasn't received any data it just charges like a normal charger (not a fast charger). Now the DualSense controller doesn't communicate to the fast charger to charge it faster hence charging as Normal.

What USB cable should I use to charge my DualSense

Most Type C USB cables will work with your DualSense controller and will charge normally, you can also use your smartphones charger to charge your DualSense

Can I Charge my DualSense over night

Yes you can charge your DualSense overnight either by connecting it to your playstation 5 in rest mode or the charging dock without worrying about overcharging or damaging your battery. 

The DualSense controller stops charging when the battery level is full (100%) to avoid damage to the battery.
