How long do your batteries last?

I haven't changed the batteries in my OUYA controller ever since I got it 4 months ago, so I was wondering how often do you guys change the batteries in your controllers?

I have charged mine twice

I play at least 3 hours a day or more. My batteries last about 3 months or so. It's always surprising when I think about it, and It doesn't cross my mind often. :-)

I'm surprised as well because I bought replacement batteries one day when I was having a Sunday TowerFall tournament, but those batteries are still in their original packaging :-)
How can you tell that you need to replace batteries? Does a controller have a light signal or does it simply stop working?

I have only had to replace mine once, but for me, I would turn the controller on and then it would just turn right back off.

Every two days. I shop at the dollar store for batteries because they're expensive and me along with my roommate use them with everything. Yeah...

I just got rechargables and I've changed them 2 to 3 times since I got my ouya.

My controller's first and last led lights would blink constantly when they needed changing. I was still able to use my controller like that for 3 days until I could get batteries.

The batteries that came in the OUYA box lasted me till last month. I swapped them with a very old pair of re-chargeable batteries that I used for my 360's controller and I've only charged them once, and that was before putting them in the OUYA controller.

People, get re-chargeable batteries. I've had mine for years now.

If you have a amazon prime account you could get these pretty cheap
