New PS5 DualSense controller with better battery coming soon

Sony I will release a new version of the controller soon DualSense belonging PS5, whose big new product will be a better battery. At the time of writing, the accessory has not been officially announced; However, it has already appeared in the catalog of the Canadian version of Best Buy.

The above store identifies the apparent new PS5 controller as “Dualsense V2”, although the publication retains the price of the original version. As we already mentioned, its most outstanding feature is its optimized autonomy. it will reach 12 hours.

If true, this would be a significant improvement over what the PlayStation 5’s control system currently offers. Let’s keep in mind that the DualSense’s battery has a capacity of 1,560 mAh and promises a runtime of 7 to 8 hours. However, when using demanding games that use all its features, this time drops to no more than 6 hours.

Best Buy’s post on the page dedicated to the DualSense V2 for PS5 mentions an “exceptional 12-hour battery life on a full charge.” Although this is not the only highlight, since the new team It will come with a charging base included in the box..

Sony may release an updated version of the PS5 DualSense controller

The appearance of the alleged PS5 DualSense V2 on the scene raises great expectations. However, some points are still not entirely clear. The first and most logical is related to price. Assuming Sony releases an updated version of the controller and includes a charger, that’s true. It sounds a little crazy that it’s selling for the same price as the original..

The official PS5 store in Spain sells the regular DualSense in exchange for 69.99 euros. The price, which, however, was reduced to 49.99 euros during the holiday season. However, the original value is the first one mentioned.

The charging station, meanwhile, is an accessory that is sold separately at a price 29.99 euros. Although there is one more detail that should not be overlooked: this model allows you to charge two PS5 DualSense at the same time. An alternative rumor is that Sony will release a charging option for the single controller included with the V2. But even if this were true, we don’t know if it’s possible that it wouldn’t affect the retail price.

Another thing that’s causing a lot of buzz is that the DualSense V2 for PS5 will retain the size and weight of the original model. Something amazing considering the obvious improvement in autonomy a larger capacity battery should be included. Therefore, it would be logical to expect some changes – albeit minimal – in these specifications.

Another alternative to consider is that the Best Buy edition mixes old information with new data. That is, the description of the PS5 DualSense V2 and its 12 hours of battery life is real, but the store has not yet updated the advertising images, data sheet and price, awaiting the official announcement from Sony. We will be monitoring this issue closely.
