Sony needs to fix this ASAP as this battery life is unacceptable and I expect a lot of the drain is due to the useless big blue/orange light on them. Get rid of it and just give us a controller that can go at least a week without a recharge. ...

Just interviewed @yosp and he said that upcoming PS4 firmware will let you turn off light bar on controller!

No date, but it's coming at least.

EDIT:

aaaaaaaaand who's up for a half measure?

Correction from @yosp, you can only DIM the light bar in upcoming PS4 firmware, not completely turn it off.
