Playstation 3 Controller Battery

[thebigmacmoomin]

Hi all, I'm in need of some help.

I haven't played my PlayStation 3 for a few years (same story with my Xbox 360) so I decided to give the controller a charge and play it again whilst in lockdown. However, it looks like the battery is dead as it no longer charges. It is the original controller it came with when it was new.

Is it possible to replace the controller's battery or is it easier just to buy a new controller?

I'm not sure how much use it will get and I have no interest in buying a newer consol.

Thanks

If you don't end up fixing it and still need a controller I have a couple I'd consider spare and I'd be happy to post one to you

Thanks for the offer. I will post on how I get on. I've got a battery on the way and the link above so hopefully all will be ok.
