If the controller isn't charging, try the following:

• Try connecting the USB cable which came with your PS5 console to a different USB-A port on the PS5 console. 
• Try using another Type-C to Type-A USB cable, which is “charge and sync” or “charging and data”. Cables indicated as “Charge only” cannot be used. 
• Try a Type-C to Type-C USB cable if you have one available. You may also use a charger that is compliant with the USB standard if you have one available. Please note, not all USB chargers will be capable of charging the DualSense wireless controller.
• Check the charging port for any dust and debris, and wipe away if applicable.
