Battery capacity: 15 Wh · Chemistry: li-ion
The Samsung Galaxy Game Pad Pro's lithium-ion battery thrives when you adopt a measured approach to charging. Rather than draining the cell completely before plugging in, the li-ion chemistry actually benefits from moderate, frequent top-ups throughout your gaming sessions—this keeps the battery in its sweet spot and extends its overall lifespan. Since the Game Pad Pro is designed to integrate seamlessly with your Galaxy smartphone, consider charging both devices during natural downtime, such as between gaming marathons or before you head out for the day. This habit not only keeps your controller ready for action but also prevents the stress that comes from last-minute scrambling for power.
Long-term storage and environmental conditions play a meaningful role in maintaining your Game Pad Pro's battery health. If you plan to leave the device unused for an extended period, store it in a cool, dry place with a moderate charge level—neither completely full nor entirely depleted. Avoid exposing the controller to extreme heat or humidity, as these conditions can degrade the li-ion cells over time and compromise performance. Keeping your Game Pad Pro away from direct sunlight and high-temperature environments, such as a hot car, helps preserve both battery capacity and the overall integrity of the device for many gaming sessions to come.
With the fastest charger listed here (Quick charger (45W USB-C), 45W) it takes about 28 min. With the slowest (Standard charger, 15W) it takes about 1 h 25 min. Samsung's Android-based gaming handheld integrates with Galaxy smartphones and features a 15Wh battery.
Frequently asked questions
- How long does it take to charge a Samsung Galaxy Game Pad Pro?
- From 0% to 100% with the standard 15W charger, it takes about 1 h 25 min. Using a faster charger shortens that; using a weaker one extends it, see the table above for exact numbers.
- How should I charge my Galaxy Game Pad Pro to keep the battery healthy over time?
- Li-ion batteries like those in your Game Pad Pro perform best with regular, moderate charging rather than occasional deep discharges. Try to charge the device when the battery drops to a comfortable level during your gaming sessions, rather than waiting for it to run completely dead. This approach minimizes stress on the cells and helps maintain robust battery health throughout the lifespan of your controller, especially important given how often you'll likely use it alongside your Galaxy smartphone ecosystem.
- What's the best way to store my Game Pad Pro if I won't be using it for a while?
- When storing your Galaxy Game Pad Pro for weeks or months, keep it in a cool, dry environment with a partial charge—aim for a moderate state of charge rather than leaving it completely full or empty. Extreme temperatures and humidity can compromise the li-ion battery's chemistry and reduce its ability to hold a charge when you return to gaming. Store it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to preserve both battery capacity and the controller's performance, ensuring it's ready to deliver premium gameplay whenever you're ready to pick it up again.
- How is this charge time calculated?
- We divide the energy needed (15 Wh times the percentage you're charging) by the charger's effective power, which is the charger's wattage times the battery chemistry's real-world charging efficiency (85% for Lithium-ion (Li-ion / Li-Po)). The same formula powers both this page and our API.
