Check battery level on PS3 controller
February 19, 2008
Checking the battery level on the PS3 controller is as easy as pushing a button. When the PS3 is on in the main menu press and hold down the “PS” button for about 2 seconds, the “PS” button is the little circle button in the middle of the Playstation 3 controller.
When you hold the PS button for a couple of seconds you will see a little battery icon on the upper right screen of the TV. The battery icon is divided into 3 bars, 3 bars means the battery has a full charge, 2 bars means the battery has about half a charge, 1 bar means there’s still some charge left and should probably be charged soon, and the last one is zero bars and this obviously means the the PS3 controller battery is almost drained and needs to be charged immediately.
To charge a PS3 controller use the usb cord that came with the PS3, there’s a mini usb port on top of the controller and a regular usb port on the PS3. Charging the PS3 controller to a full charge takes a couple of hours, although I have unplugged the usb charger only after 1 hr and that gave it 3 bars of battery power.
