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

My original DS4 controllers had very weak batteries, lasting only about 60-90 minutes or less. With the DS4 out of production, I thought it was worth a shot to try new batteries. Opening the controllers is a bit of a hassle but once you learn the process it's actually not very difficult. I recommend also having a pick shaped pry tool to pry off the shoulder buttons. This battery kit is very good, the screwdriver is of surprisingly high quality with a solid handle and was helpful in unscrewing the back of the controller. The pry tool is also very helpful for unclipping the shell clips. The battery itself also comes with 2 different connectors for the different DS4 revisions. The extra wire does not get in the way, the battery fits well and the shell closes cleanly. From some limited testing, the battery life is noticeably better than the oem DS4. I would get maybe 5-6 hours on a brand new DS4 and over time usually 3-4 hours after moderate use. These get around 7 hours or more from my tests. They also charge fairly quickly, probably around 90 minutes. After charging, one of them lost a charge instantly so I was concerned. After another full charge it has been working well and holding a charge so maybe there was some minor glitch with the charging chip in the controller. I will continue testing but overall highly recommended kit. I am very pleased to have solidly working oem DS4 controllers again. Also recommend giving your DS4 a nice clean while it's open.

These have a double pigtail connector to accommodate different controller gens. These were easy to install and held a great charge. I don't have my controller or PS4 anymore but I strongly recommend these if your battery is crap.

Better than having to purchase a new controller.

This is a perfect kit for replacing the batteries in a PS4 controller. It has no instructions, but I had instructions on Youtube. It has two plug ins connected to the battery so that no matter the size of the plug in on your controller, there is one that will fit. I would buy this again. The only thing I had an issue with was the spatula-like tool that you use to pop open the controller. One side broke off the tool so I only have one side for any future fixes. Otherwise, this is a wonderful, helpful product. It really helped get rid of a problem that was driving us crazy. Now we have controllers that will hold a charge.

Returned, not sure if bad battery or battery charger cord. But it wouldnt ever stop drawing power. Even when the controller was turned off it kept drawing power when disconnected saying it was charging. The yellow charge light just kept flashing. No cord or nothing. This wound up draining the battery very quickly so i returned it. But it did come charged so that was cool.

So within hours of receiving and opening this product, one of the batteries [BAT1] the small white power connector (for the CUH-ZZT2 controller) fell off and was broken. The connector hung off the black cable, the red power cable was not properly secured in the connector and was a manufacturing defect. Fortunately the controllers I was fixing the early generation controllers and were using the big connectors, but upon installing Bat1 into the controller, the controller did not close properly with the loose white connector and I did not want the loose red power cable rattling around in the controller and potentially short the board. So I had to carefully pull the small white connector off the black power cable and using tape I had to secure the loose wires to the battery. (see picture 1 and 2) The second battery I had no issues with installing, but I will let you know that you may have a mess of cables just sitting in your controller so you will have to figure out cable management before you close your controller. (See picture 3) Lastly in terms of battery life I would say they last about the same amount of time as the original (result my vary depending on your controller settings and based on other reviews the early PS4 controllers suffered from poor power consumption), but I also would like to point out that these batteries came fully charged out of the box which was nice. The tools are nothing to write home about they work if you don’t have a tool kit. Overall these batteries are a steal for the price. If you just want to keep your controllers working and don’t want to break the bank, or you have no idea or don’t remember what model PS4 controller you have and you want to take out the guess work of figuring out battery to device compatibility then these are ok. Just be aware that could get a defective battery like I did, if you do send them back. Also keep your original batteries until you install and test the new batteries for like a month.

Nice replacement battery for the ps4 controllers!

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.

Good quality product, works well in controller
