Maybe I just need to invest in a longer cord. Do good-quality USB cords compatible with PlayStation controllers come in 20-foot/6-meter length?

I don't know about good quality, but I picked up a cheap $2 USB extension cord I spotted at the store the day after I bought my PS4, and it works as intended. It's about 5 meters, and I always use it to charge the controller, usually while I'm playing.

I'd highly recommend it.

That is a very good price.

I'm shamefully bad with electricity, but doesn't higher voltage mean the battery is capable of discharging more quickly, i.e. it can empty more quickly? If so, wouldn't actual battery life increase be more along the lines of 'just' 37 %?

No. Higher voltage means there is something new inside the DualSense that requires a higher voltage to operate reliably than some stuff inside the old controller. It doesn't say anything about the mA required for this (though rumours have it that haptics requires less mA than rumble).

Any discussion about "How much longer will the DualSense last" is pointless as there is no information (yet) about power draw.

Would also mean that if the power draw is similar then it having higher tension would need less current, so less consumption of the battery as well. Just like same electric tool in 220V draw less current than 110V for the same power (and sure your energy consumption would basically still be the same, but on a battery that would mean higher charge).
