ur supposed 2 have an usb cable thus that's how u charge it? ---- *Improved* The PS3 comes with a controller charger. It is a USB cable and hooks right into the controller and system. *Proof* I Have a PS3.
Your controller should come without any charge, after you have charged the controller it will be connected to the PS3. If you had it with charge for some reason, just connect it to your PS3 with the USB cable.
Yes if you are using the PS3 to charge it. You should also know that if you do not go to your settings menu and set the PS3 to automatically turn off the controller it will always need a charge because it will stay on when you turn your PS3 off.
No you need to set your PS3 to automatically turn off your controllers and if you plan on charging them between uses set the PS3 auto off for long enough to allow the charge and make sure you do not turn the PS3 system off when you quit playing. If you turn the PS3 off it will not charge the controller and then go off. My Sony HDTV has a USB port and I use that to keep the controller charged as any USB port can be used to charge a controller. I also purchased a pair of Sony Controller cables like the original equipment at amazon for only $10 although sometimes the price increases
It should sinc if you push the PS button, but if not you can plug the controller into the playstation with the charger and then try againIf the controller is being connected for the for the first time and is not an official Sony ps3 controller and it is a ps3 compatible controller, connect the controller with a USB cable to the ps3, then under settings> device settings> register new device. This is how it works for Wired and Wireless headsets for the ps3 too.This sectional guide answer was modified by TechnoFixunder 'Modified for a wider understanding'.
