Joysticks for Sony Playstation have the same configuration, button layout and functionality. Their changes have been insignificant since the release of the first console. With the release of PS3, developers have offered users a wireless gamepad. It works through bluetooth, and needs to be charged. Therefore, users have questions about how to charge the joystick and how to understand that it is charged. Let's figure it out.

- How to understand that the ps3 joystick is charged
There are many ways to charge a gamepad. The charge time from this does not change. But there are several factors on which the joystick charging speed depends:
-
degree of discharge; - charging station voltage;
- charge wire thickness.
If the joystick was discharged almost completely, then its charging time is approximately 2.5 hours. In general, the process time varies from 1.5 to 3 hours.
On a note! Charging time does not change depending on the method.
From the console
The most common way is charging from the game station itself. In general, this is the standard method provided by the developers.
For this method, it is enough to connect the cable included in the kit to the console, turn it on, and wait until the red button on the side panel of the joystick starts flashing. If it does not blink, the gamepad does not charge, therefore, it is broken. If the button just lights up, recharging is not required.
Important! For charging, the console must be turned on.
Via usb port
Since the charger for the joystick has a standard 3.0 connector, it can be connected to any device that can provide sufficient voltage. Therefore, it can be charged from a computer, laptop, DVD player, etc.
In this case, the charging time may vary depending on the current strength at the output that the device gives. The thickness of the wire is also important if it is not native. Sufficient current can only pass through a rather thick wire. Here, the time varies from 1.5 to 3.5 hours.
From the outlet
The joystick is equipped with a wire, which on one side has a regular 3.0 connector, so it can also be charged from a wall outlet. To do this, you will need any adapter that gives an output voltage of at least 5 volts, and a current of at least 500 mA.
Important! The adapter parameters must not exceed the indicators indicated above.
If you give more voltage or current, the gamepad can simply burn out. When charging from a power outlet, the process time will be about 1.5 -2 hours.
How to understand that the ps3 joystick is charged
When you connect the joystick to a charger of any type, a red light starts flashing on it. She is at the end of the gamepad. All the time during the supply of the joystick from the network, it should blink. And when it is charged, the light stops flashing and just constantly lights up.
Important! When the joystick is fully charged, the light at the end stops flashing and just glows red.
If the indicator is broken, you can navigate by the approximate amount of time. At the same time, do not be afraid to leave the device charged for longer than the set time. After fully charged, it will simply turn off and will not consume energy.
