Your controller's battery provides up to 40 hours of gameplay on a full charge. A single hour of charge provides up to 8 hours of gameplay. The controller charges from empty to full in less than 5 hours.
When the battery reaches critically low levels, the NVIDIA button flashes three times and the controller turns off automatically. If your controller is connected to a SHIELD device, a low battery warning is shown before the battery reaches a critically low level.
NOTE Gameplay time on a full charge is reduced when you use the headset jack.
NOTE The SHIELD controller cannot operate wirelessly when the controller is connected to a computer. However, you can use the controller while the controller is plugged in to other power sources. If you use the controller while charging, the charging time is extended.
