Pickle Power 2 Pack 2000mAh PS4 Controller Battery Replacement for Sony PS4/PS4 Pro/PS4 Slim PlayStation 4 Dualshock 4 Controller CUH-ZCT1E CUH-ZCT1H CUH-ZCT1U CUH-ZCT2 CUH-ZCT2U

I've had my PS4 (Uncharted edition) since the release in 2015. Nine years later, my controller still worked fine, but recently stopped taking or holding a charge. I thought it may be time to retire the poor thing and get a new one. I was kinda bummed about having a controller that didn't match the system's custom color/design. I learned you can replace the battery so I tried these in an attempt to save the controller.Swapping it out was easy. Unscrew the 4 screws in the back of the controller with the provided screwdriver. Use the trim tool to work your way around the case until the two halves separate. Lay it open (the top will still be wired to the bottom so don't go nuts) and simply lift out the old battery. Grab the plug and gently pull, and it pops out.Take the new battery, select the correct plug (mine used the small one), and plug it in. Tuck the extra wire alongside the first so it's out of the way, and put the two halves back together. Screw the 4 screws back in and you're done.My old controller is as good as new, and takes/holds a charge now. It's been saved. No special skills, no special tools. I can't believe it was that simple.

Good replacement for old PS4 controllers. Controller lasts as long as it did new. I was able to do both controllers for the price of 1.

This was perfect! Easy as heck to install, now I have my controller back!

These batteries have two possible connection types; one for the old dualshock version and one for the new version, I have one of each. The new version dualshock is working great and has good battery life. The old version isn't faring as well, the battery only lasts a couple of hours and I've been experiencing some odd behavior out of the thumbsticks. Before swapping out the batteries, my controllers were working perfectly but the battery life was suffering, just due to age. Overall, if you have the new ds4 version, I would absolutely recommend these batteries, but not the old version. You can easily tell the difference by looking at the lightbar, you can see a sliver of the light through the TouchPad on the new version. There is also a difference in the numbers on the back of the controller, that can be easily looked up in a web search.

Two items received. Only one has charge ability, and the other is bad with no charge ability.

I bought these because the batteries in my controllers no longer held a charge. they got the job done but they didn't last very long. We only installed them 6 months ago and they already only hold a charge Less than a day. (Keeping in mind The controllers are being lightly used to switch between TV shows and streaming services, not for playing video games.) In the end I guess the price is still a pretty decent deal. I was just hoping to get a little bit more use out of them before they failed.

I gave these a chance since they had the most reviews overall. I should have listened to the reviews about poor battery life. I got a set of batteries that don't hold a charge. The initial charge was for many hours with a charger I know is good. I confirmed the battery meter was full on the PS4 before using it. After 20 minutes, the battery already lost one of the three battery meters. With the original batteries this would take several hours of gameplay. It also doesn't stay connected to the PS4. I have to do a hard reset every time I want to use the controller which is a pain. I'm disappointed in the purchase.One thing I want to mention because I saw it in other reviews, the battery plug is the same. It's not any different from the original. Yes, it is a tight fit just like the original plug. I gently used a needle nose pliers to remove both the old and new battery plugs and I had no issues at all.

A couple of my PS4 controllers had to constantly be on the charger to work. If you can get them apart, then you can swap the battery. It's pretty easy. I like that the kit came with a screwdriver and plastic pry bar. Now my GF and I can game all evening without having to be limited to charge cord length.
