I’m definitely pushing for this to last a long time. The battery is the only thing that concerns me a little. I use rechargeable Eneloops with the original controller, and there’s no danger of the AA battery form factor disappearing anytime soon. I’ll likely grab a spare battery for the new one eventually just to keep in reserve.
GamersNexus did a review of it and tested the battery life. They had to cut the test short after 36 straight hours. Plus they’re partnering with IFixIt again for replacement parts
I watched both of his videos already. When I said I want this controller to last a while, I mean literal decades. I know iFixit will have replacement parts, but there’s still going to be a point where even they will stop carrying them.
Yeah, I’m gonna be on the look out for people doing this. Gamers Nexus showed the battery voltage as 3.85V. I was worried at the time that this voltage isn’t too common, but it seems that fear is unfounded. Never had a PSP, so that’s cool to know.

I mean at that point you would probably solder a phone battery into it or something like we did with the PSP when replacement batteries got terrible.
