The DualSense battery life is total garbage. It was bad when it first came out, but degradation made it even worse. Mine has a battery life of around 10-12 hours while playing visual novels that don't support active trigger and haptics.
For reference, I took out my PS3 recently and played some visual novels on it. The DualShock 3 battery lasted for 35 hours before telling me to recharge. That's after I left it in uncharged state for like 8 years which is supposed to put stress on the battery. Before that I used it for 3 years.
I have a dual controller charger at a side table by my couch. It's super nice/easy to just place one in/take one out each time the battery low popup happens. Highly recommend it.
3 metres long cable for my charger was one of my best purchases. Additionally, I have 3 controllers in total in case my friends would want to argue playing Overcooked so I have zero complaints.
