My DS4 lasts...2 hours when fully charged. WTF. I have adjusted the power settings to shut it off after 10 minutes of non use, but the thing dies so quick. Shame.
 
Mine is getting around 3-4 hours each charge. It's ridiculous. I can get 20+ hours from a charged DS3.
 
Hm, haven't timed mine yet. But I'm able to game for extended periods of time without it dying on me. Of course I just plug in and charge when I'm not using it.
 
Haven't really tested it but I'd say mine is at least 5 hours. Just bought a USB extender so won't matter if it dies while playing now.
 
I haven't timed it but i would say its at least 5 hours since i played killzone the other night for that long and didn't recharge it at all during the play time, nor did i get a warning. If i had to guess its closer to the 8-10 hours. I'll try to keep track of it over the weekend.

I really like the PS4, if i had to give some thumbs down thus far it would controller battery life (compared to DS3), the light on the controller, and PSN download speed last week.

I haven't noticed any differences between the DS3 and DS4 in terms of Battery Life. I played for 5+ hours and i still didn't get a message saying battery is low last night. I did put it on charge when i saw it had one bar left.

Do you just keep your PS4 on all the time? I always put mine on standby whenever I'm not using it.
 
I was hoping to be able to charge my DS4's via standard USB chargers/sockets. I have them all over my house, at most of my outlets and have power strips that have multiple USB charging ports. But currently at least that doesn't seem to work.

I do have 2 sets of the Energizer chargers, I like them. Hold's 2 controllers. I imagine at some point maybe even a 3rd party will sell a charger.
 
My DS4 lasts about 5 hours before it needs a charge. DS3 lasted ages. I never timed the DS3 cause it lasted me days lol.
