can a ps3 charging station charge dead controllers?

Of course the charging station can charge dead controllers. It works exactly the same as the cord that came with the PS3.

It could just be the product. Sometimes I have the same issue with mine. Over time the connection between the battery and stand has become less consistent in keeping a steady charge. I spend a little too much time trying to find a "sweet spot" where my controllers will stay docked and charged. Maybe contacting Energizer for warranty information would be a good move.

Mine isn't either, THESE DO NOT WORK FOR PS3 CONTROLLERS. Or I have two defective cables. Which is probably the case.

not sure as i have not try to do so. I simply charge the ones i got with the playstation wireless remote charger.

These are intended for use with Nyko's dual charger which does not require removing the batteries from the controllers to charge them. You just set the controller directly on the charger. They also work just fine with charge and play cables so it's a pretty safe assumption that they will work with the PDP/Energizer charger, too, since it connects to the same port. They will also work with any standalone charger that requires the battery to be removed from the controller. I've been using them for years and they have held up very well.

It has two USB ports, so if you have two USB-to-USB Micro cables it can charge them both. You can also adjust the settings so that it can charge the controllers even when the PS4 is turned off.

No. You will need a small charge controller. There are some cheap effective ones here on Amazon that I have used and work fine though... You're looking at about $20 extra for the charge controller

No you have to have the rechargeable controllers already. This is just like the cord but two spots for the controllers to sit in. I wouldn't get it though. Mine was a POS. I just threw it away

yes you must buy a type of charge controller that prevents your batteries from being over charged or over discharged. a pwm (pulse width modulation) is a good affordable choice for charge controllers. i think the one i bought was 60$

It charges my Standard Sony PS3 Controller just fine as well couple knock-off PS3 Controllers that I have. I have not tried it on a PS3 Slim Controller but as i believe it should work as long as the slim uses a Mini B 4 pin cable. The cable may also be defective if you are having issues.

No, it is just a converter not a charging station. Mine did not work at all right out of the box.

Most "smart" chargers will not charge a completely dead battery. They require some minimal charge to start charging. We sometimes use a set of jumper cables hooked between a good battery and the one needing charging to get the charger started, then unhook the good battery and let the charger work

Yes, but would have to ask, why 2 charge controllers to 1 battery or battery bank ?

The charging base itself just plugs into the wall so you won't need batteries. If you mean for the controllers, It's just the wireless rechargable packs that you can buy at the store, like this one Xbox 360 Rechargeable Battery 2-Pack

Nope its hard to get the controllers to hook up to the charging stand. The charging stand keeps pushing the controllers out and won't let it charge so I don't even use it but the charge stand does hook up to the slim and lights up

That is dependent mostly on the game, not the charger. However, the batteries that come with this unit seem to be no better or worse than just using any other good rechargables in the controller.I've found it will last an average amount of time, and the recharge time is fairly quick. If you're gaming alone and have two controllers (As I do), you'll probably find you'll rarely have to stop in the middle of a game, put the dead controller in this cradle, and then pick up the freshly charged one.This charging stand is great, I'd recommend it to anyone.

Any micro USB cord combined with a wall piece will work. Mines is charging through the USB port on my PlayStation 3. Hope this helps
