Yes the PS3 controller can be charged from a USB port on a computer, and there are also specialised controller charging stations available. It appears that generic AC-to-USB adapters won’t work, possibly because the controller requires device drivers on the host or some kind of “handshake” in order to charge.
How can I charge my PS3 controller without a PS3 charger?
Fortunately, you can use any general USB cable with your PS3 controller. You don’t have to use the USB cable that came with the PS3 controller by default. So, if you have lost the USB cable and need to pair it up with a new console or charge the controller, then you can use any normal USB cable.
Controllers can only charge while the PS3 is powered up. Turn it off (standby mode), and the USB ports go dead.
