I wish Sony would look at Microsoft's approach and have AA battery support. I have two 2600Mah Nickel Metal Hydride battery's in my 360 and Xbox One controllers.
Beauty of it is, when the battery's are dead, the controller isn't forced to live a cabled life. (And Lithium battery's don't last forever, they have a finite life.)

Although there are external battery packs you can use, but that adds to weight and bulk, sadly.

No batteries please, thats last century tech :) - I dont think many people would want batteries, in fact MS get derided alot for making controllers with batteries every time they launch a new console.

Seriously just have two controllers, charge one and play the other, I've not once ran into any issues with not having a controller to play. Having a second controller then also means you dont need a charging unit for the batteries and you can use it to play co-op, win win.

I've played many many hours on PS/4 and have not once yet needed to replace a controller - because the more controllers you have, you spread the wear and tear on them...

So instead of buying batteries which you usually have in the place you live and buy decent ones like eneloops, the solution is to spend another $60 for a second controller?

I guess this is really something people won't agree on ever.
