Getting another new home gaming device can be difficult, but maintaining the device through preventive measures can face some difficulties, so below we will mention some simple methods that can contribute to maintaining the battery life of the Dualsense accessory for the PlayStation 5.
The conservative gaming community often likes to look for specific and practical ways that contribute to extending the useful life of a certain accessory or even preserving the devices in the maximum possible way, and in the case of the PlayStation 5 device, specifically the Dualsense arm, there are those who have discovered a method that contributes to extending the life of the arm's battery by 50%.
We have entered a period in which we see accessories operating with Bluetooth and other technologies, that is, “wireless”. This means that these accessories have become a little weaker in terms of continuity, since devices that operate with Bluetooth need to be charged, and when this process is repeated with the batteries of these arms over time, we will see them weaken. This situation may eventually stop completely, so there are several methods that can be followed that contribute to increasing the useful life of the batteries of the Dualsense arms.
Simple Steps to Extend Dualsense Battery Life on 50%
When you fully charge the arm and play with it for hours on end, the charge on the arm lasts for 3 hours. For many gamers who spend a lot of time playing games, this period is not enough. Frequent charging is annoying and sometimes boring.
A player in the R/Playstation community has managed to discover some steps that can help increase battery life on a single charge to approximately 4 and a half hours, so follow these steps if you want to keep your arm's battery life for a longer period of time:
- When starting the device, turn off the boom microphone directly.
- Then also close the auto beam on the arm.
- Reduce the intensity of the Haptic Feedback feature on the arm, preferably by turning it off.
- These three steps can easily increase battery life per charge by an hour and a half, that's a 50% increase in battery life when all these features are enabled.
Additionally, gamers can also reduce the brightness of their controllers, as well as reduce the vibration intensity and trigger effect intensity. While these changes won’t have a huge impact on battery life, they can still make an hour or two of difference.
