Unlucky you. Mine even hold battery for over a week if I'm not playing. With my regular 4h per day playing it would have about 2 days of gameplay per controller. My child controller seems to not be holding battery at all after 6 years, but I believe he cycled them to much.

A week? I'd love to have that. Lucky you.

I don't think I've experienced that, except one time. The battery was completely drained and the controller wouldn't turn on. And when I tried to charge it, the charge icon said ? for two hours or so. And as soon as I unplugged the charger, it said it had low battery again.

I thought the controller was broken, but then it started charging, and the problem hasn't re appeared since.

I never had that at least, sounds weird. With me I just plug in the thing, put the PS4 on standby mode when I'm done with it, and then 24 hours later when we turn it on again to watch Netflix or whatever the battery's almost dead again. I know the standby mode does actually charge it all the way; I tested that during the day multiple times. Though, the standby mode is probably still the problem; obviously I'm not going to get up at night to unplug my controllers, so they stay plugged in after the standby mode is done after 4 hours or so and the PS4 shuts off. I'm assuming at that point because the controllers are still plugged in it starts to slowly drain the battery (it's now a 'leak'). Now the controller that wasn't plugged in also drains, but I suspect not as quickly however. I should test that, but I'm too lazy.

My console is usually on standby mode by night and the controller there charging, when it is full charge the light on it turns off and then stop charging, I would guess it doesn't drain battery after that.
