Einleitung

Follow this guide to replace the battery on a Sony DualShock 4 CHU-ZCT2U Playstation controller.

This guide will also work for the older CHU-ZCT1U model controller but be sure to order the JDM-030 battery, which has a different sized connector. You can check which model controller you have by referencing the sticker on the rear panel.

If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.

    • Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the four 6.4 mm-long screws from the rear panel.

    • Four fragile plastic clips hold the panels together. You can see their locations more clearly in this guide.

    • The clips help hold the seams together. If you break these clips, the controller will still work.

    • Insert an opening tool into the crease where the front and rear panel meet, starting from the outside edge of either handle.

    • Gently pry the rear panel off of the front panel until they become partially separated.

    easy, but quite brute way of opening the rear panel without the opening tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYybiBBL...

    watch the opening from the back part only, then return here.

    That worked but a couple clips broke in the process. Beware for people trying this method.

    There are 4 tab clips total, 2 at the top corners (very easy to break) and 2 at the bottom near the ports. The screws will keep it together even if they do break but be careful if you don’t want to break them.

    I've written a guide to help others find the clips and unlatch them.

    • Use the opening tool to separate the panels by releasing the plastic clips around the perimeter of the controller.

    • Lift the rear panel directly away from the controller.

    • Do not completely remove the rear panel. It is still attached to the controller by a ribbon cable.

    • Use your fingers to gently pull the ribbon cable straight out of its connector on the motherboard.

    • Since this cable's pull tab is too small to grab with fingers or tweezers, grab the cable itself. Otherwise utilize pull tabs whenever possible.

    • During reassembly, grab the ribbon cable by the blue tab and gently press the cable straight into the connector. Push the blue tab rather than the ribbon cable itself.

    I'm struggling getting the ribbon to connect back in. Why might that be?

For this DualShock 4 CHU-ZCT2U Battery Replacement, shouldn’t the battery model be JDM-040 and not JDM-030 for this controller. I ordered the battery listed but the connector was too large. So I believe this needs to be edited to match accordingly to avoid confusion and incorrect orders. Thanks!

Good catch! I just pulled apart the ZCT1U and ZCT2U models and you are right. I will fix this in the guide. Thank you!
