how long does it take to charge a playstation?
It takes about 1 hour to charge the controller. And it'll last for about 8 hours maximum. The PlayStation people to say that it will last very long, around 20 hours, but that is not the case. It charges in about 1-2 hours and last about 5-10 hours. The PlayStation 3 itself must be on to have the controller charge. You can use the Power Save option to have your system turn off by itself in 3 hours since you know that your controller will be charged by then.
