The PS4 dualshock controller dies really quickly

[Sekelani]

Hey guys. I've noticed this dualshock controller only lasts for a short time like 4 hours and I have to charge the controller daily if I have a long gaming session. My brother in laws PS3 controller last for 4 days on heavy usage. Is anyone else having this issue.

Unfortunately that is what it's like with the Dualshock 4. (PS4 Controller)

The one thing that improves battery life though is to dim the light sensor.

Okay doky. I thought my controller was messed up or something. Thanks for the confirmation haze

Definitely dies out really fast. I ended up getting a really good charging station.

I got the POWER A DualShock 4 Controller Charging Station and it's great! Comes in real handy when my wife and I are playing Borderlands 2 together. Or when I have those long gaming sessions with Bloodborne or the Witcher 3 and I can just swap the controller that's in the charging station for the one that's about to die. It's so good!!!

You only get about 4-6 hours of the thing being switched on before it dies.
