Einleitung

Follow this guide to replace the battery on your Sony DualSense controller.

If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.

Note: This guide is for current DualSense controllers with FCC IDs that end with A. Check the back of your controller to verify your model. If yours ends in a 1, it is an early model and there will be internal differences. Follow these guides for the earlier version.

Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

Disconnect and power down your controller before you begin.
Insert an opening pick underneath the middle trim at the bottom-right corner of the controller to release the clips securing it to the case.

Schritt 2

Slide the opening pick along the lower-right edge of the middle trim to release the clips securing it to the case.

Schritt 3

Insert an opening pick underneath the middle trim at the bottom-left corner of the controller to release the clips securing it to the case.

Schritt 4

Slide the opening pick along the lower-left edge of the middle trim to release the clips securing it to the case.

Schritt 5

Use your fingers to lift up the bottom edge of the middle trim to release the remaining clips.
Lift the middle trim over the joysticks to remove it.
During reassembly, position the middle trim into place and press along all edges to engage the clips securing it to the controller.

Schritt 6

Insert the flat end of your spudger into the gap above the L1 button.
Cover the button with your thumb to prevent it from ejecting across the room.
Pry the spudger upward to remove the L1 button.

Schritt 7

Insert the flat end of your spudger into the gap above the R1 button.
Cover the button with your thumb to prevent it from ejecting across the room.
Pry the spudger upward to remove the R1 button.

Schritt 8

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the two 6.5 mm screws securing the bottom corners of the lower case.

Schritt 9

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the two 6.5 mm screws behind the L1 and R1 buttons.

Schritt 10

Use the pointed edge of a spudger to unclip the two clips on either side of the headset jack.

Schritt 11

Use your hands to carefully pull the rear case off of the controller.
During reassembly, make sure the red and black vibration motor wires are not pinched between the front and rear case.

You can´t just grab both ends and expect it to open flawlessly, first you gotta travel the spudger around the seam at the outer edges of the controller, there are multiples clips in that area, there a couple really hard to get out at the outer edges of the R1 and L1 buttons, for those you need to insert the spudger bending outwards the bottom piece of the controller (a fairly amount, like 1.5mm) and while bending outwards use the same inserted spudger to lever them apart carefully, the plastic will bend quite a bit so be very careful with the motion of the spudger.

Yet again, that was my personal experience opening it up, try first as the guide says, if you feel the upper and bottom pieces glued around the R1 and L1, then try this.
