no surprise the PS4 controllers can be a bit dodgy. bought a ps4 on launch date and the wireless controller would not keep a charge, since the release of the ps4 slim and pro, their controllers have been improved and redefined in circuitry to run smoother and last a lot longer.. but i am digressing from what im trying to say;
you will need to buy and replace your ps4 controller once every 2 years. also that is the expected recharge battery life cycle.
