Review on Efficient Charging and Syncing: Nyko Charge Link - Mini USB Cable for PlayStation 3 by Amicz Kakaruk

this cable lasts a very long time, as long as you leave the cable permanently plugged into the controller it seems to stay charged and the cable doesn't short out but overall very good , it lasts up to to 4 years if you don't twist it and tie it just fine. The reason I give it 4 stars, my first one didn't last very long, probably around 3 months
