Adaptive charging is only available on newer PS5 models.

Sony has released a batch of features in its latest PlayStation 5 system update, including support for adaptive controller charging, party link sharing, and a new widget hub. The adaptive charging feature, which monitors and automatically adjusts the power supplied when controllers are connected to the console’s USB ports, is being released globally starting today — but only for the latest PS5 models. Other updates arriving today include the ability to create personalized 3D audio profiles for your headphones or earbuds, and adjustable Remote Play settings to help manage access permissions per individual user.
