Sick of running out of juice? You need to buy this PS5 accessory if you
havent already.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Not every PS5 accessory is worth buying Im looking sternly in your
direction, currently-unplugged PS5 HD Camera but Ive found that one particular add-on for Sonys console is an absolute must-have this generation: the DualSense Charging Station.

Like many others, I quickly grew tired of fishing out a USB cable to charge the DualSense controller after practically every gaming session, and eventually ended up leaving a cable permanently sticking out the front of the PS5 . Hardly ideal.

Though it was incredibly hard to find when the PS5 launched, the DualSense Charging Station is thankfully more readily available, and its a crutch that every PlayStation gamer should lean on.

The PS5 DualSense Charging Station really shouldnt be so impactful to the whole PlayStation 5 experience, but sadly it is. The unpredictable battery life of Sonys clever new pad makes it a necessity, and Ive found that since picking up the Charging Station shortly after the consoles launch, its helped alleviate any feelings of frustration I have when the 'Wireless Controller battery is low' prompt appears.

Not only does the DualSense Charging Station not require any of the PS5s precious USB ports (it plugs directly into a power outlet), but I now sleep easier knowing that whenever Ive had enough of delivering packages in Death Stranding: Directors Cut , I simply pop my pad into the dock and itll be
ready to go when I return.

Better still, if you have an additional DualSense controller to hand, you can hot-swap between pads if youve hunkered down for a particular long gaming session. As you play, your other controller will charge so youll technically never be caught short again when it comes to battery life. Game without

In an ideal world, of course, the PS5 DualSense controllers battery life
would be good enough that we wouldnt have to rely on an accessory to solve
its biggest problem. What makes things more tricky is that DualSenses battery life is hard to predict as it really depends on the games youre playing.

If a title takes full advantage of the controllers haptic feedback and adaptive triggers , sometimes youll be lucky to get five hours from a single charge. Play something that isnt as liberal with the DualSenses features, though, and you might not see the charge prompt for over 10 hours. It also doesnt help that the 'Wireless Controller battery is low' warning often appears far too early, leading to the false impression that the DualSense could die at any moment.

Sonys admittedly excellent pad is still my favorite part of the PS5, then,
but if you want to spend more time playing and less time waiting for things
to charge, grab the PS5 DualSense Charging Station when you can. Its the easiest recommendation I can make and thankfully isnt too expensive at $30 / 24.99 (it's only 20.82 at Currys right now). You also never need to see an unsightly cable hanging from the front of your PS5 again unless youre charging the Pulse 3D Headset , that is...
