    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.

      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.

        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.

          my 2 cents but 3.85 is super reasonable for lithium batteries, which range from 4.2 to 3.6 depending on charge. DIYing some other battery in should be trivial voltage-wise
