Battery Charging

The controller is pre-charged at the time of purchase. If the charging lamp is flashing red, connect the controller to the console using the included USB-C charging cable. Ensure the controller is fully charged before pairing. A full charge provides up to 30 hours of gameplay. Battery life may vary.

Warnings

Battery Warnings

• Never attempt to repair, disassemble, or modify the battery yourself. Doing so may cause the battery to be damaged, overheat, catch fire, or cause injury.
• Dispose of the controller according to your local regulations, as it contains a built-in battery. If unsure, contact your local municipality or government.

• If liquid leaks from the battery and gets into your eyes, do not rub your eyes. Rinse them immediately with clean running water and seek medical attention.
• If the battery emits an unusual odor, heats up, or shows any other abnormality during use, charging, or storage, immediately remove it from the charging device, place it in a sealed, fire-resistant container (like a metal box), or move it to a safe location away from people and flammable materials.
• Do not heat, incinerate, or put the controller or battery into fire.
