DualShock 4 controller catches fire during gameplay
Redditor Chino1130 posted an image of his controller, saying that it caught fire while he was playing GTA Online this morning.
From the look of it, it appears that the lithium ion battery in the controller malfunctioned and burned the plastic cover that separates it from the logic board.
According to Chino1130, the battery itself is the original in the controller, not an aftermarket one. This is the first time we’ve heard a DualShock 4 controller catching fire.

Daniel this is pretty weird , how does such thing happen ?
Idk, It's like a very low chance of happening, I wish I was there and seen it honestly, I'd be mind blown!

Faux25 the guy was a fking idiot who left it plugged in to long you dont keep wireless things plugged into the usb so of course this would happen to much charge=burnt out battery so no body should be that dumb to leave a controller that has full bar in
This is so true, I mean I can't even count the number of times I charged my cellphone too long and it burst into flames. Darn it! That's just how batteries and charging batteries works though right.

That should't be an issue either way. Testing products is a part of the development and creation of new products.

Stonerzard Nice, I might be able to get a bit of compensation should this happen to me
Lol doubt it. You will need the controller to give you some sort of burn (you will need a mark). And if you do, they will pay your medical bills (if you even need one), and give you a custom PS4 system but that's pushing it.
