Hi.

I have a PS3 controller with a dead battery and I'd like to "revive" it (works fine wired, but I prefer wireless) and would like to know if this product below is A-OK to use it:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PS3-Play...3-Sixaxis-LIP1859-LIP1359-Tools-/363010044397 (£2.16 more than the one below due to the tools)

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1800mAh-...ATION-3-PS3-WIRELESS-CONTROLLER-/332022734823

Seems to be more powerful than the original battery (610mAh, apparently).

Thanks.
 
I'd be tempted to go for an official one, this looks to have been pulled from a broken controller and has been tested: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304197079404?hash=item46d38f116c:g:-BoAAOSwJOVhdCkE

I'm always a little wary buying random third party batteries as you never know how well they have been made (will they randomly explode is what I'm thinking) probably unlikely, however I'm always wary with things like that.
