Longer battery life is always a good thing. One thing that bugs me about playing on PS4 is the controller having integrated batteries, and I don't have a good setup to have the controller plugged in if it runs low and keep playing. Sometimes I forget to recharge it overnight, only to have to stop playing part way through my next session when I realize the battery is almost dead. A longer battery life would alleviate this issue on PS5.

Though my personal preference would be for Sony to release a model of their controller that utilizes regular AA batteries. I always have a supply of rechargeable NiMH AAs for various things around the house, and I'd much rather take the few seconds to swap batteries out and get right back to playing.

I prefer to have 2 controls so from time to time I can do some multiplayer. Plus if the control had a higher battery life it would change the fact that you forget to charge it.

Probably costs more over time to purchase new rechargeables than to just have a second controller, or just put it to charge and watch something else, or play with it charging either with a bigger cable or putting on a usb outlet near your couch.

If swapeable batteries was something so many PS owners wanted probably several third parties would have offered controllers with it.
