Sony recently released a revised PS5 DualSense controller model, and it appears that battery life is one of the issues it addressed. As we reported back in October, the new DualSense controllers don’t feature a second mic or the rumored removable battery. Now, a console modder and repairman claims that the revised DualSense’s battery life is nothing to scoff at.
New PS5 DualSense controller model improves battery life, but stick drift remains an issue
The modder/technician, who goes by the username Modyfikator89 on X, tested the CFI-ZCT2W series of DualSense for over 15 hours. Features like haptics, adaptive triggers, speaker, and mic were used in-game across titles like Astro’s Playroom and Fortnite.
The result? A marked improvement in battery life that “crushes” previous models, including the DualSense Edge. As for how Sony achieved this, Modyfikator89 stripped down the controller to show numerous internal changes from BDM-010 to BDM-060, which apparently also lead to cooler temperatures in the revised model.
Although this is great news, stick drift remains a sore point for PS5 players, and I’ve personally been a victim of the issue at least twice in this generation. My limited-edition Spider-Man controller was used extremely sparingly, but much to my dismay, it developed a recurring stick drift problem.
Here’s hoping that’s the issue Sony addresses next.
