Are the rechargeable lithium batteries available in store, compatible with the new control...

Its a lithium removable rechargeable battery

I got a PS4 Pro on November 10, and can relate. The PS4 Pro has a built in lithium rechargeable battery. Lithium rechargeable batteries only last 12 months before they begin to conk out, and are not always reliable. Where as with replaceable batteries, it's
better, because if you're batteries conk out, you can EASILY replace them without ripping apart your controller lol. I user Energizer rechargeable batteries and have an energizer battery charger which can charge 2x AA/AAA's in 16 minutes, or 4x AA/AAA's in
32 minutes. When I brought the Xbox 1 Day 1 console with Kinect, it came with cheap batteries for the controller, at least it was something.

It's 2016 and I think we need to move away from lithium batteries and find batteries which last longer and more environmentally friendly. There have been efforts like aluminum something batteries. But can you, honestly say that a PS4's battery is as easy
to replace as an Xbox 1's battery system?? I don't think so m8. You can change the batteries in an Xbox controller in 5 seconds. The PS4? First you got to figure out how to open up the controller, buy a compatible battery for it which many supermarkets or
diaries don't sell, and you get the picture, and those batteries aren't going to be as cheap as AA/AAA batteries. You could I guess get a 3rd party battery for the PS4 which may be much cheaper than official batteries which Sony may offer, but those cheap
batteries are not officially from Sony so called mess up your controller or something.

I had same problem a year ago battery working in one controller but not the other,so i bit the bullet a bought some Duracell AA rechargeable lithium battery's with a charger,cost me $20 at Kmart,seems to of fixed my problem and I'm only charging the battery's
once a month.

[quote user="KI11RB33"]Unnecessary...instead of taking the rechargeable lithium ion battery and just putting it in the controller,[/quote]Where you cannot replace it when it runs out of charge and carry on...

they sell it separately as an accessory.

Which
you have the choice not to buy.

rechargeable controllers are last gen...

And they sucked then, too.

You won't damage your controller, but the way how rechargeable batteries drain, your controller will disconnect earlier because of low power.

First of all, the rechargeable batteries only provide 2.4V power instead of the "expected" 3V.

Non-rechargeable batteries also keep their voltage "linearly" at 3V, only to lose power rapidly just before they die completely.

Rechargeable batteries constantly lose voltage over the time they become empty, so even if the rechargeable batteries are still "half full", they might not have enough power for the controller to rumble, or be connected at all.

So in short: You don't damage your controller. You just have an empty controller more quickly with rechargeable batteries.

If you want a rechargeable solution, I'd recommend getting an official "Play&Charge" kit.

Thanks for clarifying them different behaviors batteries have.

As I've commented in the post below. I will consider to buy a play and charge kit.

For the moment I'm using regular Lithium batteries.
