PS4 DS4 Controller won't charge

[MTW]

i'm kinda new to controllers but my controller work fine withe cable/wireless
but now when i want to charge it , it auto connects it and turns it on wich i dont want + if i turn off steam and unplug then plug it a yellow/orange light comes up then turns off ... before i connected it to my pc it was charging fine the breath yellow/orange was working fine ;/

use a phone charger, the ds4 can charge from any powered usb source

if using a pc or ps(when on) it will be on and charge slower
ps4 in rest/sleep mode will also charge (if powered usb option is on)
ps4 off will not charge

i read that fast chargers like phone chargers harm the battery ...
my issue is when i plug it in its on and idk if its charging but o want to turn it off and charge

yes, but fc/qc use a usb signal to enable the feature on the charger (to put 9-20v to the usb device)
ds4 does not do that

it can harm other devices if fc/qc is enabled when also using a usb hub thats connected to other devices

on fc/qc devices it can be disabled in its charge options

i think most phone chargers push more then 5v into the USB device like the DS4 most phone chargers these days push 10v or more i think but USB ports in any device like from you PC would push 5v ? idk just an opinion ... all i know from what i read on the internet is that it's harmful for the DS4 that u use wall outlets for it .. and some people had issues after they did it .. idk .... i think we got away from the main topic lol .... i asked a freind who owns a PS4 and he told me that the DS4 is charging but slowly and it's normal :)

its the phone or device that asks for higher voltage from the charger

quick charge/fast charge reduce battery life by charging the lipo/liion battery faster than its charge rating
most lipo/liion are 1c (1x mah rating, will take 1 hour to charge)

guys when my DS4 is cable connected and steam is on it wont turn off even if i go to big picture and turn it off .. but if i turn steam off controller turns off .. how to turn it off while cable is connected

It's fine that the controller stays on, as long as it is connected via usb cable then it should charge the controller battery
