Pickle Power PS3 Controller Battery, 2 Pack LIP1359 Battery for Sony PS3 PlayStation 3 Dualshock 3 CECHZC2E CECHZC2U Controller with USB Cable

I posted some pictures along with this review. Seems like a pretty solid deal to me. You get 2 batteries, the necessary tools to open the controller, and a replacement mini USB cable to charge your batteries once it's installed in the controllers. I also used the iFixIt website to guide me on what to do just to be sure. Last week I found out the battery was dead after wanting to connect it to my PC and use it. I installed a new battery and it works just like before. As you can see in the last picture, the battery works and the lights were on and flashing like it was trying to connect to something. The 1st picture shows the replacement battery on the left and the original (dead) one on the right. As for how long the battery lasts, I'm not sure. However, the listing makes it sound like it lasts longer than the original, which I'm not complaining about. Just be careful when lifting the back cover off the controller so that the buttons don't come flying off.Also happy to say that it connected to and works just fine on my PC, though downloading and installing the necessary drivers was also required to actually use it. In my case, I used DsHidMini after being redirected from ScpToolkit, though there is also DS4Windows if you want to go the button remapping route. Both of these are open-source too.

Seems to be great so far. Easy to install. This is going to be a great way to extend the overall life of my controller which is very old by now.

I haven't tested the actual battery life yet, but mine came charged and the controller I repaired worked right away. I had purchased a controller with a dead battery that paired and worked while plugged in with a charging cable, but the battery would no longer hold a charge. Accidentally hitting the PS button while putting the controller back together with the new battery unit even turned my PS3 on from another room.While I didn't particularly need another screwdriver or cable, the fact that those are included, along with a little spudger tool, is nice. If you don't have these things but need to replace a battery, you at least get everything in one box. You could probably do without the spudger, but it doesn't hurt to have one just in case, and the screwdriver has a magnetized tip which is always a handy feature. (Yes, you can magnetize your own screwdrivers, but again, with this kit you don't need to do or have anything extra.)It's overall a good price for what you get, I just hope the battery ends up lasting as long as an original one did since I used to get really good battery life from PS3 controls before. In the past I've had to change other parts before the battery itself ever went bad.

I bought these to replace the other replacement batteries I purchased years ago and these are much better. The lead wires are just the right length to have enough wiggle room but not so loose that i have to stuff it in the controller afterwards. I'm glad they included a charging cable because my old one from Sony had a short in it. The screwdriver and pry tool were also a plus because I misplaced my screwdriver a while back and the plastic pry tool made it so I wouldn't damage the controller's shell.

Battery is great and the included screwdriver and plastic spudger are quality which makes the job easier compared to other kits Ive used in the past.

Worked great at first….But 3 months later it will not charge. You can keep the cord in it and it will still play, but dies as soon as you unplug it.Seller wanted to make things right, and had no problem sending me a replacement. Wasn’t expecting them to do that three months later. Excellent customer service.I received my replacement in the mail and it turns out that my original batteries were fine, there was just something wrong with the charging cord that came with it. I tried the cord that came with the new batteries and they started charging again. I was very happy. Changed my review to 5 stars.

I'm pretty torn on these batteries. The only real positive is that it's A) A battery for the PS3 controller B) Holds a charge and turns on the controller.That's about where the good ends. These batteries claim to be larger than the OEM at 1800mAH. After running them against my 10+ year old OEM battery, it's painfully clear these aren't even close. Seeing how cheap they were, I popped open one of the battery cases. It's a 500mAH cell - which is lower than even the stock Sony battery at 610mAH. It explains why the battery life wasn't really any different.I guess it's a bit of get what you pay for. The package was nicely put together, and the tools were appreciated even though a bit subpar, but the reason I bought the battery was to give additional life to my older controller with a bit of a spec bump, but it's worse.Also keep in mind, that if you have any of the revisions of the controller where the battery has the legs attached, this one just sort of has to be crammed against the board to hold it in place as it doesn't have the legs - I assume this is to make it compatible with as many revisions as possible.Maybe I got duds? Just odd that both batteries have the same issue. =(Edit: Revising to 3 stars as seller acknowledged their errors and provided replacements and offered to take the advice listed here.
