Gaming forums are great for gathering information about gaming accessories and whether or not they are good. Check out the review for the Energizer PS3 USB Charger:
Overall:4.5/5.0
Value:4.0/5.0
Bottom Line:Most versatile and well constructed charger on any system available
The Energizer PS3 USB charge station is a gift from god to most PS3 users. The dual controller charge station also has 2 additional USB ports on the side for additional charging power. I currently use the ports on the side for my PS3 headset,and my iPod when not in use and I’m too lazy to walk upstairs to charge.
The construction is solid plastic,and for once a station does not feel fragile or weak. The USB connectors for the controllers are designed by experts you considered the damage that could have been caused to the PS3 controller’s USB interface. As such,there are clear plastic braces to hold the weight of the controller and not bend or break the USB connections in the controller housing. Made of matte black plastic or poly-material with chrome accents,the charge station will fit into almost any decor or setup without looking like an eyesore (similar to the standout nature of my Wii-mote charger). In fact,a lot of people who own PS3′s and come over ask me where I procured such a decently constructed and appealing charger. It will definitely please the masses.
A neat feature will show via LED if the controller is ready for use or charging. This is handled by a universal red LED for charging,and a Green LED for charged. Not rocket science here,mates. The power to the station is handled via an AC/DC adapter that plugs directly in the back of the station. This provides enough power to quickly charge drained controllers or other peripherals you decide to attach to it. This allows the user to not have to be wired to the PS3 or keep the power on to charge the controllers.
For a price of $25USD at BestBuy or a variety of other retailers,this is by far the best charging station out there for any system. The quick charges,the extensive applications that it can be used for with the extra USB ports,and the quality of the build give this gorgeous station a near perfect mark in my opinion.
