The way you charge the ps3 controller is a bit weird to me.
Ps3 standby charge controller.
Can i charge my ps3 controller when the console is off.
Then plug the usb end of your charger cable into one of the usb slots on the front of your console and the smaller end of the charger into the slot on the front of your controller.
No the ps3 s controller only charges when theps3 controller is plugged into the ps3 and when ps3 is turned on.
So now i put my ps4 on standby mode and plug the ps3 charger into the ps4 usb port.
Ok so you pretty much have to use the ps3 itself to charge your ps3 controllers.
But when the ps3 is on standby mode you can plug the ps3 controller into a computer s usb port while the computer is on to charge it.
Fine you ll just leave them to juice up.
To charge your ps3 controller start by pressing the power switch on your ps3 console to turn it on.

Fast charging never have to worry about being able to charge one at a time or only when the ps3 is on.
With this dual ps3 controller charger you can charge two ps3 controllers simultaneously one single controller could be fully charged within 2 hours and two controllers just need about 4 hours thanks to hi capacity ac adapter.
When i first bought my playstation 3 i thought i would be able to charge my ps3 controller while the machine was off that was a mistake because the next time i tried using the controller the battery was still at the same low level.

I ve always found it stupid that the ps3 controllers only charge while the ps3 is on yet they take a few hours to charge fully and i rarely play for more than 45 minutes at a time.
Ps3 can t charge controllers when in standby mode.
Thanks for the info guys i ll have to look into a charger i guess.
