Review on ๐Ÿ”‹ Energizer Power & Play Charging System for Playstation 3 by Sean Ceo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice simple charger

I ordered this charger from Revain. I had previously read previous reviews about the misleading description so I knew what to expect from the product. I don't need anything fancy, it's just ridiculous that you can only charge a PS3 controller when the system is on! The couch in my living room is too far away to plug in and charge the remote while I play, so this was perfect for me. The charger was very easy to set up and looks great! It goes very well with other elements of my entertainment center and I really like how the indicator turns green to notify you when the controller is fully charged. For those who are wondering, I checked with the manufacturer because I couldn't find any information on whether or not this charger has a float charge feature. They confirmed that it will NOT charge. This is my only complaint about the charger for my purposes. I'd happily pay $10-$15 more for this feature as monitoring the controller charge level is now another thing I have to deal with at home. I have an Energizer Wii wireless charger and it has this feature and I love that I can leave the remote on the charger and be sure it's fully functional without damaging the batteries even before I decide , it will take a week. play something This station charges quickly, so I don't see it as a huge hassle. I was just hoping I could have an evening gaming session and put the controller on the charger when I go to bed. However, if you do this with a rechargeable battery without continuous charging, the batteries' lifespan will be reduced and eventually lead to them having to be replaced much sooner. Since the PS3 remotes don't make this so easy, I really miss this feature! Either way, this is a great product that does its job well. I only need to charge the controllers, so I can't comment on the efficiency of the built-in Bluetooth charger. As a note for those who don't know and may have left controllers in the station too many times and screwed up. The battery has expired, you CAN change the batteries in your PS3 remote control, see the instructions on how to do this! I've seen a lot of websites and people online complaining about having to buy a $50 controller when the batteries die, but you CAN replace them. Check out the PS3 manual or search the web for all the information and even videos on how to do it and save some money!
