New PlayStation Portal Update 7.1.7 Can Improve Battery Life
The version 7.1.7 update lets users raise the cap manually, but Sony says higher limits may hurt battery health and stability.
- Sony rolled out a new PlayStation Portal software update introducing an 80% default charging limit to support the device's long-term battery health.
- Modifying the charging method aims to maintain long-term battery health, as selecting a limit over 80% might impact battery performance and overall stability.
- While 80% is the default, you can change the charge limit at any time from Settings > System > Battery; Sony recommends keeping the lower limit.
- To maintain Portal connectivity, users must update their PlayStation Link device software by connecting it to a PS5 using its PlayStation Link USB adapter.
