This replacement fits the CECHZC2E, CECHZC2H, and the full DualShock 3 Wireless Controller lineup. It runs at 3.7V with 570mAh (2.11Wh) capacity — matching the original Sony specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCECHZC2 series compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Every CECHZC2 variant shares the same PCB layout, connector pinout, and charge IC handshake. The LIP1359 slots directly into that platform without a BMS mismatch — the charge controller sees the same cell signature it expects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this cell through the PS3's onboard charge IC under simultaneous wireless and rumble load. The BMS held the 4.2V charge ceiling cleanly with no premature cutoff or thermal flag.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel gauge reset after install:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After fitting a new cell, run one full wireless play session to automatic controller shutdown — don't plug in early. The PS3 fuel gauge IC calibrates its empty reference point against that first complete discharge cycle. Skipping it leaves the capacity readout inaccurate for weeks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the DualShock 3 drops connection before the battery indicator hits empty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe DualShock 3 transmits Bluetooth and drives rumble motors simultaneously. That combined draw spikes current demand in short bursts. When the cell is aged or a new cell hasn't completed its first conditioning cycle, internal resistance rises enough that voltage sags below the Bluetooth radio's operating floor — the radio cuts out before the fuel gauge registers low. The fix is completing three to five full charge-discharge cycles, which lowers internal resistance and stabilises voltage under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBattery indicator jumping between bars after a cell swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe PS3's fuel gauge IC tracks capacity using a stored discharge curve from the previous cell. After a swap, that curve no longer matches the new cell's characteristics, so the readout jumps erratically. This is a software calibration issue, not a cell defect. Let the controller discharge to automatic shutdown, then charge uninterrupted to full — the IC re-anchors both the empty and full reference points. After one complete cycle the bar display stabilises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43377544953946,"sku":"BWCS-SP117SL-1","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43377544986714,"sku":"BWCS-SP117SL-2","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43377545019482,"sku":"BWCS-SP117SL-3","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-SP117SL-1.webp?v=1778767309","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/sony-dualshock-3-replacement-battery-37v-570mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
