PS4 Controller with Easy-Upgrade: 2000mAh Battery for Double the Capacity
The PS4 controller comes with a 1000mAh battery by default. Simply swap out the battery (whether it’s dead or in need of an end-of-life upgrade) for a 2000mAh battery for double the charge. It’s the simple things like this that can go a long way – if nothing else it shows you that if you bought it, it’s yours, and you should be able to open it and mod it as you see fit.
Replacing the battery on a PS4 controller is easy. This also makes for better battery life by increasing the capacity from 1000 mAh to 2000 mAh. Very quick and easy, and involves removing the four screws in the bottom of the controller and prying the shell open.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
