Revised PS5 DualSense Reported to Deliver 15+ Hours on a Charge

Independent testing credits internal tweaks for the gain, with consumers advised to check for code CFI-ZCT2W.

Overview

  • Polish modder and repairman Modyfikator89 reports the CFI-ZCT2W controller exceeded 15 hours of continuous play with haptics, adaptive triggers, speaker, and mic active.
  • A teardown attributes the efficiency to the removal of a secondary microphone and updated electronics across revisions from BDM-010 to BDM-060.
  • Thermal images from the tests show charging temperatures around 26°C, indicating cooler operation than earlier models.
  • The revised controller is appearing in recent PS5 bundles and limited editions, with packaging identifying the model as CFI-ZCT2W.
  • Sony has not formally confirmed these changes, and coverage notes that recurring issues like stick drift remain unresolved.
