Feature: Show power indicator for controller

Hi, 

Many games, my controller will disconnect, due to the battery dying. 

Usually, I only check the indicator at the beginning of gaming sessions, but there is a chance the batteries do die. 

Could we add an indicator or some feature to indicate if the batteries are low?

The implementation could be as simple as integrating into the menus and if someone calls out check for battery, they could do immediately. 

Of course, with the simple approach, you would have to check youself in drop in, but would still help to determine if we have enough battery life to play the next game.

    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.

    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.

    Your console does this, this request makes no sense.
