Does anyone feel it charges to fast causing the controller to NOT hold a charge as long as it may have before using this charger?

This charger is made by Power A Not by Sony. People have said it has a quick charge and I have seen a few post stating their controller doesnt hold a charge as long. Would like others to respond if they have noticed this also?

I haven't used any other chargers, so it is hard to compare, but this is my personal observations so far (2 months of use): I have not noticed any decrease in charge capacity after use. Typically mine will charge from 1/3 to full capacity of controler in 1.5 to 2 hours, this doesn't seem to be too fast.

No. Like all USB charged devices, it operates on 5volts and low current. Besides, it's made by Sony. Its up to spec and won't damage your equipment.

Mine holds a charge the entire time of the project I need to finish. Maybe it's not firmly seated on the charging base.

I still charge mine daily with normal use. It may be different with someone else though.

Yes it is...its why i bought it. I was having problems with my controller staying charged and connected. This solved it.

The charger stops charging once it has a full charge. It has 2 color to let you know what it is doing: orange means it is charging and blue means it is full. I leave my controllers plugged in for days on end and I haven't had any problems with controllers not being charged when removed for the charger. I know constant charging can and will shorten the life of a battery and I have seen no signs of that.

I have not experienced that at all, this is now the only charger I use on my ASUS and I have had no problems at all with it. It sounds like you have a bad charger

I Charge it after every ride (2 to 3 hours) and never had a problem. I have never let it run all the way down just because I wanted to make sure I caught ALL of an awesome ride!!!

Yes it does. I've had the controller since March and I have yet to charge it again. I don't play very often but, battery life is excellent.

Not that I've experienced. I carry it around in my satchel and use it only when I have no other options for charging, which is rare. Every time I take it out it is exactly charged to where I left it. Doesn't seem to matter if that's 1 week or 6 months later, it's always as charged as I left it the last time.

No...i haven't had any problem like such...The controller works perfect and i usually recharge it after 48-60 hours of gaming...It has a very strong long range..Actually the controller works together with the USB so if it aint connected it will be blinking red light. But when you connect the USB the red light will be steady meaning that it it is now active...However i'm only taking precautions about the charge but the lifespan of the battery might extend above the hours i'm talking about but to be on the safer side i don't allow it to be more than 60 hours without recharging it (meaning 60 hours of gaming).

The charger doesn't turn off once the green light comes on it stays on until the controller is removed. I haven't left it on to long to judge the battery drain.. I have left it on overnight and all day while I was at work and it didn't seem to affect the battery at all.

It's normal, unfortunately it doesn't have an indicator of when is fully charged. It usually charges in about an hour if not used while charging

That totally happened to me. As I said in my review, after switching controllers, I eventually found one that worked. So, I would suggest using different controllers as the charging point until you find the one that will work consistently. If you only have one controller... I don't know what to tell you.

Hasn't been a problem for me but the more I read, the more I see owners having 'issues' with power-related matters (not fully charging, etc.). The battery on the unit itself seems to perform well under stated times and (for me) is slow to recharge. Good luck with it.

I have not had that problem. But I can't get it to charge my phone if its only half charged.
