New version of DualSense controller with longer battery life appears in the webshop

Best Buy Canada’s webshop has put a product page of a ‘V2’ of the PS5’s DualSense controller online. This shows that the updated version has a battery life of twelve hours.

On Best Buy Canada’s product page, which at the time of writing is still online, a battery life of twelve hours is promised. Sony has never released official figures for the battery life of the original DualSense controller. Although according to some sources it can also last twelve hours when performing light tasks, according to most tests the battery life seems to be between six and eight hours.

In addition to a longer battery life, the updated version would also include an official charging station as standard. That charging station is currently sold separately for 25 euros. The DualSense V2 is offered for $90, the same price as the regular version. Sony has not yet confirmed the existence of such a controller.
