> Steam Frame Controllers: Powered by AA batteries (rated 40 hours)

Yes, I want to see standard batteries being used more. Too bad they didn't go with this on the Steam Controller.

I actually prefer rechargeable batteries.

But rechargeable lithium batteries in AA form factor are cheap and cheerful. Even low quality ones will get 20 hours in that situation. So I have no more room to complain.

Valve is weirdly good at making controllers efficient. The original steam controller could get 80 hours out of two AAs if you turn off rumble.
