2 Pack Replacement Battery Pack for Sony PS3 Controller + USB Charger Cable

One original battery was the same size as these replacements but the other was smaller-sized and set into a plastic caddy to fit the board housing (see photo). I simply removed and tossed that caddy and put in the replacement batteries. Both fit and worked perfectly and seem to last quite a while given 1800mAh vs the original 570 (smaller battery) and 610 (larger battery). Getting the controllers apart was a bit tricky, so I recommend a plastic tool like a LEGO brick separator or putty knife. A metal screwdriver left minor marks on the front of one of mine. The R and L buttons tend to pop out, so be careful to keep them intact if possible. If yours also come apart such that the circuit "tape" comes out as you can see in my photo, I found it easiest to completely disassemble the buttons, reinsert the tape, then put back in the rubber strip and spring that make the buttons work. The old batteries just unplug and these plug in, so overall the assembly required was pretty simple given decent eyesight and a little manual dexterity. Along with the replacement charging cables, this is a great value in my book.

The battery works perfectly!! My PS3 controller feels like new again! And it charged REALLY fast too! I plugged it with my PS3 with the USB cable it came with and it automatically started charging while I was playing my game! Installation was very simple as well. YouTube had great videos tutorial on how to install new controller batteries. Also this battery is perfect size. Look at one of my photos to see the size comparison. Overall, great buy and I'm very happy with the end result!

Very easy to change out hold up well.

I bought this for my brother to use to replace his ps4 controller batteries. I thought it was a long shot and would end up being a waste of money but actually it worked perfectly. His controller was going dead quickly when playing games but after he took the controller apart and replaced the old battery with this one it worked perfectly he could game for hours and not end up having to sit close to the screen the entire time with his controller plugged in to charge while playing. I definitely recommend buying one of these for a ps4 controller that is having issues going dead quickly.

Bought these since I had a pair of dualshock3's that didn't seem to hold a charge, and many third party controllers required a dongle, removed the rumble or some other omission that I didn't appreciate. Probably a good thing when I did. Once I got each open, I could see the original battery was both tiny... And swollen. These are much bigger capacity, but still sit perfectly in the spot once you remove the frame, the original tiny battery sat in. There's still a frame that it can sit in attached to the PCB. Would have taken pics if I remembered to do so. Either way, the capacity improvement is profound, by service of being a larger battery to begin with. Should help me keep my ps3 in service for a nice long time.

I had two original Sony PS3 controllers that had been dead for months if not years and I thought I could just replace them with third party controllers from Amazon. The problem is that these controllers don’t have actual analog thumb sticks like the ones Sony manufactured, which can cause a problem with certain games. Armed with these batteries and instructions from iFixit, I was scared at first, but imagine how happy I felt when I swapped the batteries out and pressed the PS button on the controller and saw the familiar LED lights I thought I would never see again. A word of advice: if you have the original SixAxis PS3 controller (first generation without DualShock) be prepared to sacrifice some cosmetic parts that are impossible to put back in but do not prevent the controller from operating. This is by no means the fault of the battery vendor but bad design on the part of Sony.

Replaced my original PS3 batteries with this on two controllers. Both powered up fine and are working. The batteries fit a bit snuggly, and didn't have the "legs" that my old battery had, but fit nicely enough where the old ones did and aren't moving around now that the controller's closed up. Not sure how much charge/battery life I'll get from these, need to test more, but this was straightforward and easy.
