You can use any phone charger, set the lighbar lower and there are battery replacements / external batteries available

I looked into those replacement batteries, but the controller doesn't cover battery replacement under its warranty, meaning I actually void the warranty if I open it up.  I'll wait until the warranty is out to do that (which I think is 90 days on controllers)!

Most phone charger cables are just as short if not shorter, by the way


Dude....

2x 10 foot cables for $8.99. 

But most importantly, you don't have to be plugged into the actual PS4 to charge man. You can use any USB power adapter (wall, floor,etc).

Yes yes, I'm aware most phone chargers can do it (though their cables are short, too!), but when you compare the INCLUDED solutions, both the Xbox One and Wii U fare much better.  The Xbox One gets 20 hours on AAs as it is, and the Wii U included an incredibly lengthy AC adapter (and cradle for 32GB owners).  

In other words, I know I can throw money at the problem, but compared to out-of-the-box situations for the other two, it's kind of a shame, lol

I hope your reasoning changes once you start playing some of the games, because owning it just to produce content or justify the channel seems sad.

What seems sad is that you make this assumption without actually knowing my channel or its type of content, and thus don't know my nature towards the core of gaming.

Agree with the battery life. I bought a large cable for that reason. It sucks

Yea I looked around to see if I had a long enough cable sitting around, but I don't ._.  I REALLY don't want to have to buy a cable JUST for this reason, lmao... I might go the 2000mAh battery replacement when the warranty runs out on the contoller! xD

I watched 3 or 4 more videos before posting. I just took it as a comedic covering my bases type of thing. Regardless, I do hope you have fun.

Congrats! Why do PS4 controllers have such bad battery lives?
