"The PS3 controller won't charge through a wall charger.

However, you should be able to charge using a standard iPhone or Android charger for a PS4 controller.

Have you tried different cables, and chargers?

You should see a slow pulsating yellow light with a wall charger."

I don't know because mine works with a wall charger. So maybe its just a bad cord or a bad outlet but its works for mine perfectly and its great!... my ps4 is really far from where is sit to play but I'm right next to an outlet and it helps alot!

I have the same problem! I just bought this controller 2 days ago, it charges when plugged into my PS4, but won't charge with an outlet, and I'm using the same exact cord. Use it on wall, doesn't work, plug it directly into the the PS4, it's charging. With that said, it's not my outlet, or box. Because my phone and tablet charge great with the outlet box, and cord I have..?

"Could be the charger. Without much information, did you try another charger? A different USB cable? My controllers charges fine on my Nintendo Switch port and my phone charger.

I'm thinking your controller is fine simply because it is charging with the PS4…

Update (01/13/2020)

So I ran a couple of tests with two of my older Samsung charger bricks (one from my old S4 and the other from my Note 10.1 (2012 version). Input is .34A and output is 2A on both. Both chargers charged both of my controllers with no issue. I also ran my rapids charger from my S7 (.5A input and 1.67/2A output) and it charged them fine. Now I also put them on my portable battery packs of 1000mA. No issue.

Take it as you will, but I had little issue charging my controllers."

Mine wont charge anywhere and I've had this issue with 8 controllers! Ive changed the outlet the cable the length of cable. Now I have a 400 dollar brick that I cant play because my controllers wont charge. Doesn't matter if the controller is new and old. Thought it was my ps4 so I got the ps4pro same problem.
