Fake PS4 controller?

I'm just disassembling my two controllers. One because it is defective and the other to install new parts ordered. But I just noticed that different batteries were installed. Is a controller fake or what did that mean?

There are also 2 versions of PS4 controllers. That maybe you can tell me the differences.

There are also different generations of controllers, so the hardware can change optically, what is important is what it does, not what it looks like. Although this is just a case.

It was just a suspicion.

If you bought them as 'original', you can assume that they are real.
I can't say anything about the battery except that I would take the younger one.

If both of them were originally bought by you at that time, there will probably be no fake battery in it😂.

In any case there are fake batteries, it is not advisable to install them, but Sony will not deliberately pop them in there😂.

First, there are 2 different versions of PS4 controllers. If you can't tell the two apart, then you have the same version twice.

In addition, there are different revisions, the first PS4 controller version also went through more revisions.

Other batteries or other housings or suppliers also lead to such differences.

Some revisions even have different mainboard (colors). E.g. If the ports are not always the same, they are not compatible with each other. However, this flex cable for the buttons is compatible with each other in the first version despite different revisions and colors

The ps3 controller wars also had 3 different generations, all original but different components. They keep making improvements parallel to the customer experience

Just.

That there are different batteries installed has little to no say. Possibly. They just changed suppliers. It's like we say in the car. Some roll off the production line on continental tires, some on dunlop. Depending on which manufacturer makes the car manufacturer better conditions.

that's how it should have been with the batteries.
