PS4 controllers may start dying due to several reasons, including battery degradation over time, which reduces the battery life. Frequent and prolonged use can accelerate this. Another common issue could be faulty charging cables or ports, preventing the controller from charging properly. To fix this, try using a different charging cable and ensure the charging port is clean. If the problem persists, the battery itself might need replacement, which can be done relatively easily with the right tools and a new battery.
