How long should PS4 controller expected to last before it dies off?

[Heatman]

How long is a PlayStation 4 controller supposed to last before the battery dies down when you are using it to play video games? My own seems be down after 2 to 3 hours of gameplay.

Mine last for a very long time, it doesn't go off within some period of time, unless I didn't charge it fully. If I'll give an estimate it goes beyond six hours of non stop video game.

That actually sounds about right ,mine also last for about 2-3 hours with a full charge depending on the game. Thats if you already had it for a few years now and if you play on a regular basis

A friend of mine says his own last up to 8 hours which seemed weird for me because even when I got my PS4 new, the controller never lasted up to 8 hours after a full charge.

That would most be the case because I have had it for a pretty long time now.

A good ps4 controller with a full charge can last you for more than a full day, but yeah like you mentioned you had it for a long time now and if you also spent a lot of time playing videogames like me then thats probably why the battery is not as good as before. Also a mistake that I usually make is that I use the controller until the battery goes empty, im no technician but im pretty sure that affects the battery in the long run.

That's weird, normal wireless controller should last more than that after being fully charged. My PS3 controller can even serve me the whole day after charging full.

I don't recall the battery life of the PS4 controllers ever particularly being a strong point, but it also largely depends on the kind of games you play, and your settings of the controller itself (light bar brightness, vibration enabled/disabled, sound volume).

I reckon I could probably get a good 5-8 hours of continuous play dependant on the game(s) played.

A whole day in 24 hour? Are you seriously kidding me now mate? I think it's more of the player not playing that much.

It should be at least 4 to 5 hours of active gameplay depending on the kind of games and the functionalities you leave active on the controller.

Then I believe that your own PlayStation 3 controller is very strong or durable in its battery for it to last a whole day before it drops the battery bar.

I'll simply agree with what you said. That's how my PS3 controller battery last. It serves me for the whole day without going down, and I'm happy with the way it serves me.

Sadly, I didn't get to experience my own console being that durable when it comes to its battery lasting very well.

It's always been between 2 to 3 hours. The longest time it ever lasted was 4 hours of gameplay and it's only once that happened.
