[SOLVED] Charging Sixaxis

**afccarl666** · 09-21-2009, 01:36 PM

Can the PS3 Sixaxis controller be charged using a PSP charger? The connection is exactly the same. Ive searched the net but did not find any answers.

What kind of PSP charger? The electric socket version or the USB to miniUSB? If it is the USB to miniUSB, it should work since I doubt there isn't any difference.

Sorry, should have made myself a bit clearer.

Its the socket version that I'm interested in, its a pain having to keep my PS3 on to charge the controller.

If the connections are exactly the same then you can probably do it, it won't hurt to try, it's like the iPhone charger is compatible with the iPod charger and vice versa.

Decided to try it, and its working. I was a bit unsure in case it would damage the conroller, but its ok. Thanks.
