What battery does a PS5 Controller take?

2 × AA batteries

The PlayStation 5 DualSense controller has a built-in rechargeable battery — it does not use replaceable batteries. If you are looking for batteries for a PS4 DualShock 4, that also has a built-in rechargeable battery. Only the older PS3 controller uses standard batteries.

If your PS5 Controller has stopped working or is unresponsive, replacing the batteries will usually fix it. Tap the button below to find the right AA batteries on Amazon.
