Can I use a regular USB wall charger to charge my Sixaxis controller?

Hi. I have a Sixaxis controller and I'm wondering if I could charge it using a USB wall charger like the ones that come with smartphones. I want to charge my controller but I have the PS3 plugged into an extension cable with my TV, set-top box and DVD player. In order to charge my controller atm I have to have all those things turned on and it's expensive and somewhat dangerous. So, can I use my phone's USB wall charger to charge my Sixaxis controller?  Thanks.

Thanks. I just didn't want it to explode or something.

  • Can I charge my ipod classic in Germany with the same usb wall charger I use in the USA, by plugging it directly into the correct adapter plug? Or do I need a power converter/transformer?

    I will be in Germany for a year. I want to take my ipod classic and charge it with a usb wall charger, like I do here in the USA. Can I simply use the correct wall adapter plug for Germany, or must I use a power converter/transformer in between?

    It should work as long as the prongs adapter are adapted to the outlet configuration.

  • HT1665 Recently read on a deal site forum page that you can only use Apple lightning cables to charge iPads running iOS 7 or higher. Is that the case or will any 8-pin to USB cable work? Thx in advance for any helpful replies.

    Recently read on a deal site forum page that you can only use Apple lightning cables to charge iPad Air or iPad Mini Retina running iOS 7 or higher. Is that the case or will any 8-pin to USB cable work? Thx in advance for any helpful replies.

    Due to a lot of bad press that Apple was getting due to burnt chargers, shocked users (the electrical kind...), etc., due to the lousy third party El Cheapo brand generics, as of iOS 7 the cable must be Apple-certified before the iGadget deigns to use it for charging purposes. Unfortunately (for Apple) the old traditional USB to 30-pin cable is just that, a straight piece of wire, and can't be validated by the iGadget. But lo & behold, the new gear uses the new Lightning cable, which contains an embedded chip that CAN be validated and lousy imitations disabled from use.

  • Can I use the same USB cable for both the iPhone and the iPad?

    Brnad new user of the iPad - can I use the same USB cable for both the iPhone and the iPad?  The iPad does not charge when plugged into the computer or the wall (110V) adapter.  I've been able to sync in iTunes using the same cable on both.

    Actually, the iPad charger works just fine with iPhones and iPods.  The iPod/iPhone charger will charge an iPad very slowly but no harm will be done.

    hey thanks for the fast reply!
    that sounds good. one more qs:
    is there a cable available that allows to sync & charge directly from player to usb without using the little dongle attachment thingy. I find it ridiculous that Creative went with a propriety connection! I don't fancy lugging that around everywhere...

  • IP4 Charging..USB to PC (MAC) vs USB Wall Charger??

    Could there be a difference in the way the battery is recharged when charging the IP4 using a USB cable connected to a USB dock, which is connected to a Mac Mini vs charging the phone using the USB wall charger?
    Couple days ago my IP4 battery drained normally, indicator went red since it was less that 20% capacity, so I plugged it into a USB cable that I had been using to charge my IP 3G. That cable goes to a USB dock connected to my Mini, my 3G always seemed to charge fine using same calbe...seems the IP4 charged ok as well...though it did seem to take longer for a full charge. I briefly used the phone that evening. When I went to bed, battery was at about 90% charged, almost full charge. Next morning, it was down below 20%. Charged it again next day using USB wall charger, used the phone more last night, but phone was close to 90% available this morning.
    I don't believe the previous evening I ran any wacky app or process that could have been running overnight, I checked that first, same few apps I normally used showed.
    So, does how the IP4 get charged, USB to PC vs USB to wall outlet make a difference in how the battery charges?

    it will take longer to charge on a computer because there is less power going to the phone thats just the way it works
    however no matter where you charge it and how long it takes to charge its not going to deplete quicker based on one source or another there must have been something that drained your battery

  • Can I use iphone 4s USB cable to recharge for the new ipad

    Can I use iphone 4s USB cable to recharge for the new ipad

    The iPod, iPad & iPhone cables are identical, however, the chargers are not.
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • Do you need a converter to charge Ipod nano (5th gen) using a non-Apple wall charger/plug adapter in Switzerland?

    do you need a converter to charge Ipod Nano (5th gen) using a non-Apple wall charger/adapter plug in Switzerland? or is the Ipod Nano dual-voltage?

    None of the iDevices are multi-voltage themselves...the chargers from Apple are all 110-240 volt.  You will have to look at the non-Apple charger you have and see if it says it handles 110-240 volts.  Most made today are capable of that range, or they would have to make a different item for each country.
    All you probably need is a plug-pin converter, can find those in the airport, at least in Zurich, don't know about Geneva.
