Despite being fine wirelessly on my PS5, both my DS4 and DualSense die after about an hour of bluetooth connection to Windows 10, with DS4Windows showing them as draining and then dead accordingly. Is this normal? They're supposed to last like eight hours, right? I even have their lightbars disabled.

It's not normal. You say that they coincidently stop working. Do you mean that both of them stop working at the same time? If so, then it's probably not the battery charge that is the issue. More likely a communication fault.

Sorry, I worded that poorly. I meant either controller (not connected at the same time as each other) disconnects from Windows and needs to be recharged in accordance to DS4Windows displaying them as dead,

Okay. What version of DS4Windows do you have? I'd recommend trying a fresh reinstall with new drivers and updated software to see if that fixes things. Newest version is 3.0.18

Is the battery normal right now? What exactly did you update aside from DS4WINDOWS?

Yeah, I am seeing some poor battery life from my PS5 controller when using it to bluetooth to the PC.
I can't pinpoint when it was better, but v3.3.3 seems to be harsh.

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
