[GameSpot] - Best DualSense Charging Station: Top PS5 Controller Chargers

[343iBot]

While the DualSense's battery life is better than the DualShock 4, it still doesn't run for nearly as long as an Xbox controller with a pair of AAs. Battery life for the DualSense tops out around 12 hours, but with games that make greater use of features like adaptive triggers, rumble, internal speakers, and lighting effects, this number can practically be cut in half. That's why it makes sense to always keep your controllers charged between play sessions. The best and most convenient way to do this is to use a charging station. We've rounded up the best DualSense charging stations for PS5 below.

Of course, if your controller dies while gaming--and you only have one--you'll still need to plug it into your console to keep playing. Since the included USB-C cable isn't lengthy enough to be practical for most setups, you may want to invest in a longer cord such as this 16-foot cable that's compatible with DualSense and Xbox Series X|S controllers.
