If it can last at like 80% through the gen I could live with it. My first DS4 didn’t even make it to the Pro before it needed to be hooked up to the ventilator. This one has been much better, but I was a little more conscious of taking care of the battery. This time I’m really gonna be on it. I already copped a charging station, gonna go ahead and cop a second DS next opportunity so I can charge em right, and keep em ready so they don’t gotta get ready
My PS4 battery isn’t dead but it doesn’t last as long as it earlier in the generation. I have to plug it up frequently. My Xbox Elite Controller I just swap batteries real quick and I’m back to wireless play. Part of the reason I don’t plan to upgrade to the series 2 Elite.
I thought the same thing, but the Elite 2 battery is strong as hell. Unless I'm playing a ton, I charge it once every 2 to 3 weeks. Heavy play, once a week. Kept my OG Elite as a backup, haven't touched it once. The Elite 2 is the shyt.

Do y’all realize you can replace the battery in a PS4 controller?
I’m still using the OG controller that came with my PS4. The battery died 2 years ago and I bought a new one off EBay for $8.

interesting...I do no notice I have to recharge my DS4 more frequently...never paid attention to how long it lasted initially tho...also to be fair...I upgraded to the pro...and then bought this limited ed. controller/console about 2 years ago
Imagine ur cell phone having to use double A batteries?
that’d be dope...I wouldn’t have to charge it every fukking night then...just replace it once every couple of months (hypothetically of course and assuming just for kicks that the battery change would be as frequent as it is for a controller)
Completely different type of device with a completely different use case. Your cellphone is on your person and is likely just as often away from home as it is used at home. I can honestly say I preferred when cell phones had easily user replaceable batteries though.
Your TV remote likely uses AA or AAA batteries. Nobody really demands they don't.
If Xbox used wired controllers these nikkas would be arguing with me about how nobody couch is that far from the TV anyway
No. Charge cycles diminish longevity over time. I never plug in my Xbox Elite series 1 controller into anything. I just take the few seconds to swap Eneloops and back to wireless play. I spend a fair amount of time with my PS4 DualShock plugged in to charge the battery as I’m playing games because the battery got too low.If Xbox used wired controllers these nikkas would be arguing with me about how nobody couch is that far from the TV anyway
Now if we’re talking Switch Pro Controller level battery life that’s another story.

It’s more about convenience not having to keep a stock pile of batteries or have to drive to the store to play my console is a big plus for me. I don’t use AA batteries in anything else in my house.
