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

I don't use standby mode any more after I heard some people that got their systems wiped/bricked during power outages, but it turns off automatically when the controller is fully charged?
I usually charge my controller while I'm playing through a 5 meter USB extension cable. I can't recall having less battery after turning it off over night (except that one time), but I have seen it turn on with more battery life the next day, after turning it off when it was at 0 bars, and it had 1-2 bars the next day. But I think that's just a temporary inaccurate reading. Happens to my phone at times as well.

From what I know the controller turns off, but the console doesn't change at all. Haven't heard of these brick issue. May start turning off. But have in mind that electronics are more likely to break from turning on and off than for leaving on standby.
