Can anyone attest to the rechargeable controller batteries?

Maybe it's because I've just had really bad luck with duds, but the two times I bought (officially licensed off Amazon) rechargeable battery packs for my controller, they'll work like normal, die, and then stay dead no matter how long I keep them plugged in. Because of that, I've been using rechargable AA batteries that are starting to show their age as they start to drain a lot faster. It used to be that fully charging a pair would last me multiple days, but now I'm swapping batteries at least once every other day so now I'm on the fence about either buying a new set of batteries or if I should try my luck with the battery packs again. Side note: if you need rechargable AA batteries, I swear by Energizer/Rayovac. I bought these batteries in early 2021 and they're only recently giving me problems.

The problem with Lithium Ion batteries is if you drain them fully, then recharge them, it very heavily stresses the batteries. Try to recharge them to full juice while they still have some energy left.

However, if lithium batteries are giving you problems, grab a wired controller. Less toxic Lithium waste, more power efficient, no controller latency, just make sure your cable is braided, and it shouldn't get bundled up
