Lithium VS AA in controllers?

I game about 30-40 hours a week on a regular week. And have been using these controllers for all this time without swapping batteries and almost ever 0 to 100 charges. The battery life is still enough for probably 6h or more straight play and since I keep one charging/charged while the other is in use I have 0 downtime. When it happens that co-op is needed and one drained out or my son took the control to use on the other PS4 I just plug on the outlet 1ft to my side and being wired becomes a 0 issue for me.

Well it's not really a surprise when you keep switching controllers (and thus batteries). The situation would probably look quite different if you used only one. I always have a primary controller (on 360 the one with the faceplate and on X1 the revised controller that came with the X).

Considering some are saying they had 5 DS replaced because of battery, or that my PS3 control survived 12 years without issue. And even cycling the controllers I probably had like 500 cycles of charge on each and 0 issue so far. So I really can't say the battery is an issue.

Before the pandemic? On a regular weekly basis throughout the year? How? How do you mange to get 40 hours a week for gaming? 

Priorities =]

During pandemic I could probably double it or even get 100h a week.
