PS3 Controller Rechargeable Battery Pack

I purchased three of these replacement battery pack's for my controllers, that all seemed to die around the same time. The shipping was fast and on time, bubble wrapped and packaged nicely. The battery's came in a sealed plastic package along with a small precision Phillips screw driver and of course the battery. Most of the products made at a cheap price are made over seas and the quality control is lacking in some area. I try not to give the "installation guides" or "product print", that is poorly translated to Engrish, bad reviews. Come on people, its a $5 battery, what do you expect? The install of these can be a little tricky because it requires you to open the controller. There are plenty of how-to's on Utube. Install went great but it does take some skill, because the trigger buttons are spring loaded so if the case is completely pulled apart it wont "fly out" but will come off the fulcrum. The screw driver serves it's purpose but of course is made of cheap material causing it to strip out easily. Recommend a quality set of precision. Overall this is a great product, it works just like it should and even holds a charge longer than OEM. The mAh on factory I believe is 1k mAh where as these are 1200mAh, you can even get up to 1800 I believe. Higher mAh means better capacity but also more heat. The fitment was a little tight but worked perfectly, I used a small set of needle nose to remove OEM battery terminal. I do recommend that you let them all thoroughly charge before using to achieve the best results. It is going on two months now and they are holding up well, the run time has dropped a little (maybe 30min?) but its hardly noticeable, I would gladly buy these again to save myself over $100 for new controllers!! I give these a 5 Star rating, they work perfectly and are cheeeeap! I might be able to upload some pictures here soon, keep you posted.

This battery worked like a charm but when you install it you have to or at least i had to use a fair bit of force to get it to insert in the plug I don't know if it is because it is so precise or if it is just a tight fit,though I have only had it a couple of days it is holding it's charge

SO FAR THE BATTERY PACK GOES EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME WITHOUT HAVING TO CHARGE, HOWEVER, IT TAKES A WHILE TO RECHARGE, I GUESS THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR HAVING DOUBLE THE MaH'S. THE ONLY COMPLAINT WITH THE PRODUCT IS THE LENGTH. YOU WILL HAVE TO REMOVE THE UPPER PLASTIC BATTERY BRACKET TO USE THE PACK, AND HAVING TO MAKE SURE IT STAYS FLAT WHILE SHUFFLING THE BUTTONS AND CONTROLLER SCREWS BACK INTO PLACE.ONCE YOU MASTER THAT, YOU'RE GOOD TO GO.

I purchased this battery to replace the internal battery of a PlayStation 3 controller. When the controller would function perfectly while plugged in, but wouldn't charge, I presumed that a dead battery was the problem. I first researched buying a replacement controller, but mine is white and the white PS3 controllers are no longer manufactured and are difficult to find. Thus began my search for a replacement battery. I ordered this from Amazon and two days later it was in my hands. I opened it and was pleased to find that a small screwdriver to be used to open the controller was included in the package. I watched a couple of YouTube videos on how to replace the battery and went to work. Once I had the controller apart, I gently unplugged the old battery and inserted the new one. Mine was exactly the same size as the old battery and fit perfectly. As the videos advise, be careful to avoid dislodging the triggers after you unscrew the controller and separate the two parts. If you do dislodge them (I did as I put the controller back together) don't despair, YouTube also has videos on how to easily fix that. After all was said and done, I have a controller that is good as new and a battery that recharges and keeps it charged for a very long time. I am very satisfied with my purchase and so pleased to avoid the loss of my white controller.

One day my ps3 controller wouldnt turn on, so i googled and decided i might as well try a new battery. So i checked out different ones and based on the reviews i ordered this one. At first it worked fine, batter was fully charged, but i put it on the charger all night anyway. The next morning i used it just about all day, and i left the controller on to kill it(to set charge memory). Unfortunately the controller didnt turn on and when i went to charge it nothing happened. I dont believe this would be the controller, seeing it worked fine on the original batter. Maybe in due time ill try another one, maybe i just got a bad one. In the end its worth it to try and save a controller that costs 60$ new with a 7$ battery. Whether it fixes it or not is probably 50/50.

I bought this forever ago and forgot to review it. It's ok...it fits in the controller, it charges fine, and has no problems with using it. But, I feel like it doesn't stay charged for very long at all, at least in comparison to a stock controller battery. I bought this to replace the battery in one of my controllers that was old a worn down and wouldn't hold a charge very long...and this helped but not as much as it should. Decent if you're looking for a quick fix, but I'd look elsewhere if possible.

Commande effectuée le dimanche après-midi pour une réception le mardi matin, très bien. Le démontage / remontage pour cette batterie n'est pas très compliqué, il existe pas mal de tutoriels à ce sujet sur le net. Je ne peux pas dire qu'il y ait une nette perception du maintien de la charge car je n'ai fait qu'un cycle de charge pour le moment et je n'ai pas constaté une évolution flagrante, à voir dans le temps. A noter que pour les manettes de dernière génération, le socle de maintien de la batterie (qui est fixé à l'origine sur l'ancienne batterie) n'est pas fourni. Ceci n'empêche pas pour autant le nouvelle batterie d'être correctement maintenue dans le peu d'espace qui lui est alloué :-).

It's a great replacement for a standard ps3 pad battery. It has larger capacity and doesn't cost much. Highly recommended, though changing it can be tricky.

facile a mettre et plus performante que les batteries d'origine (autonomie) attention tout de meme il faut enlever le support plastique blanc d'origine pour que ca passe

Perfect+++++.

I had a controller that didn't charge since I put it to charge from USB hub. As such, I got this battery to check whether the problem was the battery or not (it wasn't). Now the problematic controller and this battery sit on a box and I got a new one. The battery seems to work fine. However it is not the exact same as the original one. It is missing the holders that keep the battery in place. This means it will move around inside the controller (although there is not much space for movement).
