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

I ordered 2 of these replacement batteries for $2.95 each + $5.47 which came to $11.47 total. I had one ps3 controller that would not hold a charge and another controller I have owned for about the same amount of time. I would be surprised if the other controller I have doesn't stop soon. New ps3 controllers still cost about $50 each. So for less than 12 bucks I should be good for a while. Much better than spending at least $100 to buy new ones. When it comes to installing these batteries, look up a how to video on youtube. Do this before you even try to open your controller up. There are several to choose from and some are more detailed than others. You could break your controller if you are not careful. The problem I had was the R1 and R2 buttons came apart when I opened the controller case. That was very hard to get back together. A few little pieces need to go back just right or your controller will be dead for good. Make sure you have a mini screwdriver and a flashlight. When the R1 R2 buttons came apart I needed a head lamp and about 20 minutes to get it back together. If you are careful you might not have those buttons fall apart.

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.

I can't say anything particularly negative about this, aside from one point. The original PS3 battery pack had standoffs and clips to hold it in place inside the controller, and away from the processing unit. This batter has nothing, so it does tend to move around in the controller a little bit. It did plug in correctly, and work right off the bat however, so from that perspective I have no other complaints.

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.

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).
