the cable is the same but not the chargers you are using. The voltage on the Blackberry charger and MP3 charger are different. Thats why it wont work with the SIXAXIS.
That is interesting because I thought *all* devices that can be charged via USB were all 5v standard. The SIXAXIS would be the first item that I've noticed did not follow that same standard. But that explains it.
It's not just the SIXAXIS. My Motorola Q can charge with most USB power adapters. I can plug it to my PC and it will charge fine. I can plug it into my PS3 and it will charge fine. I use my uncle's Blackberry power cable to charge my Motorola Q and it wont work. The Motorola Q sees the USB cable as a charger and the charging icon pops up, but it won't take a charge. I unplug it and the battery level is the same as when I plugged it in or lower.

i bought a ps3 controller charge station from walmart. it is a wall plug with two usb ports and it came with two USB to USB mini 6' cables for $15.

i hardly every use it though anymore since i have two controllers. i will play with one and leave the other plugged in. when the one i am using starts to get low i just swap them out.
Sure, that sounds good, but what happens if you have company and both controllers are going out and you wanna keep playing?

I'll check out both, but I think I'll try the cables first.

Thanks for the suggestion, though.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-ps3-PS3-recharge-cord-question-20810081 Fri, 18 Jul 2008 02:25:59 EDT Re: [ps3] PS3 recharge cord question http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-ps3-PS3-recharge-cord-question-20807587

I posted about this a long while back and since then, I've picked up a cheap docking station for the controllers. Strange thing is that the cable looks just any other USB to USB mini cable like everyone mentions, but I was never able to get it to charge directly to the outlet. I would plug in my Blackberry charger or an mp3 USB charger and it would never charge the controller. I know it's pretty standard because I can charge other USB things on those lines, but the controller never wanted to charge. I never tried just connecting it to my desktop, though.
the cable is the same but not the chargers you are using. The voltage on the Blackberry charger and MP3 charger are different. Thats why it wont work with the SIXAXIS.

I leave my ps3 on doing folding@home when I'm not using it and if my controller is low I'll just let it recharge then..
That's one of my goals too, but what would you do if you wanted to play, but needed to recharge? You can't really sit back and enjoy yourself, right?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-ps3-PS3-recharge-cord-question-20804429 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 06:11:44 EDT Re: [ps3] PS3 recharge cord question http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-ps3-PS3-recharge-cord-question-20804423 said by Jaime:

I just hook it up to my computer and let it recharge that way. Are you using the cords while playing?
No, just while charging up the controller. It's still my first day, ya know? And I do that with my 360 controller when it needs charging.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-ps3-PS3-recharge-cord-question-20804423 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 06:10:38 EDT Re: [ps3] PS3 recharge cord question http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-ps3-PS3-recharge-cord-question-20804302 --

The cable here: »www.gamestop.com/Catalog/Product···id=64031 is longer, but would it work as well as the one I got with my PS3?

I'm planning on trading the cord I have now in and buying two of the Nyko cords If they work as well as the one I have now.

Anyone who has these, what are your thoughts?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/ps3-PS3-recharge-cord-question-20804268 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 03:04:41 EDT
