Connector is wired backwards Sep 06, 2010
By ejaytee
As another reviewer experienced, both of the batteries I received were wired backwards from the original PS3 controller battery they replaced (the red and black wires are reversed.)
It is really simple to lift up the small plastic tab on the connector, slide out the pins on the connectors, and put them back in correctly. But it would have been even more simple if these would have been done correctly in the first place. The same components on my controller got really hot, but I removed the battery as soon as I could smell something not right and my controller was not ruined.
Except for being useless as shipped, the battery is fine. Compare the connector wiring on this battery with the one in your controller before installing it.

Not worth the effort Oct 18, 2010
By G. Jacono
Some things are not worth the effort and this is one of them. As described by other reviewers, the battery was wired backwards (positive and negative were reversed from the original). You can remove the metal terminals from the plastic housing, but you better have a microscope or magnifier to see the latch and a very small screwdriver to disengage it. Taking the controller apart was easy. Putting it back together can be a real hassle. After a couple of tries, I was able to get the trigger switch springs to work properly, but one of the top switches now keeps getting hung up.

 Battery Review May 24, 2009
By John B.
Installation was a breeze, and the battery model number matched what was already in my controller (gen 1 PS3 controller). Taking off the back of the PS3 controller is pretty easy, the hard part is lining up the top buttons when you push it all back together. Paying $10 for the battery is better than buying a $55 controller! It works great so kudos to the manufacturers.

Worth the money if you have time Jun 19, 2011
By Carl Allen
The original battery for my ps3 managed to die completely after about two years of use. I decided to look around for a replacement instead of spending sixty bucks for a new one. After I actually got the thing installed and running, I'm quite happy with it. It holds a charge longer than the origional one did, and I'm not noticing any weird problems like overheating.
The only problem I really ran into had nothing to do with the battery itself, but the process of installing it. Actually opening up the controller and plugging it in took about five minutes, but reassembling everything afterwards went on for a couple hours. I'd recommend looking up a video or two on putting a ps3 controller together before you start, and keep an ice cube tray or something similar on hand so you don't misplace any screws.
