Sony DualSense Charging Station for PS5 – Dual Controller Dock | CFI-ZDS1 (Open Sealed)

Description

The official Sony DualSense Charging Station is designed to charge up to two DualSense or DualSense Edge wireless controllers simultaneously without connecting them to a PlayStation 5 console.

Its click-in docking design uses the controllers’ bottom charging terminals, leaving the PS5 console’s USB ports available for other accessories. Sony states that controllers charge as quickly as they do when connected directly to a PS5 console.

Charge Two Controllers Simultaneously

The station accommodates one or two compatible controllers. Both charging positions can operate at the same time, making it convenient for multiplayer setups or keeping a spare controller ready.

Charging two controllers does not extend the stated charging time under normal operating conditions.

DualSense and DualSense Edge Compatibility

The current official instruction manual confirms compatibility with both controller types:

Click-In Charging Design

Charging does not require repeatedly inserting a USB-C cable into each controller. Align the controller’s charging terminals with the dock connector and press it down until it clicks securely into position.

The controller can be removed by lifting it directly from the charging station.

Charging Status Indicator

The controller’s built-in light bar displays charging progress:

• Slowly blinking orange: Controller is charging
• Light bar off: Charging is complete

If the light bar does not blink after docking, check the power connection and reseat the controller so its charging terminals align correctly.

Independent AC Power

The station connects directly to an electrical outlet using the supplied AC adapter and power cord. It does not consume one of the PS5 console’s USB ports and can continue charging controllers without a USB connection to the console.

The supplied adapter supports a wide input range, but the included wall plug must match the local socket type.

PS5-Inspired Design

The station features Sony’s matching black-and-white PS5 design. Its compact vertical arrangement keeps controllers organized while occupying less desk or entertainment-center space than laying two controllers flat with separate cables.
