The article probably has a point and dismissing it is wrong. Rechargeable Batteries die after so many uses, and age, able to hold their charge for shorter and shorter periods of time.

CMOS batteries are generally good for over 7 years at least. This is a problem with the iPOD. How long the PS3 controllers is good for, probably start noticing a problem after 4 years, but could be 7 or 8 before they don't hold any decent charge.
