Technically, I could solve myself by being more vigilant. The rough part is when this happens during league or club game play and the controller dies in the middle of a crucial game. Then, you have to scramble for the batteries or a cable to re-charge and play.

I'm on Xbox, so maybe this could be a Xbox specific problem, since the controller itself does not have a power indicator, which forces me to have to monitor the indicator in the Xbox Button context screen. Does that sound like what you were describing Gambetxcb , that the PS controller has a power indicator built into the controller hardware? That would be cool to have, but of course, not a game issue.

Maybe the better plan here is to buy a controller with a power indicator.

For ps it makes a notification when battery is runing low (you still have 30-60min game time atleast) it also shows on screen my menu. So we have a little bit of understanding how close we are to empty controller.
