Do a barrel roll!
I have a PS3 and 4 controllers. I had originally had 2 controllers, lets call them 1, 2, 3 & 4.
Controller 1 was working fine, controller stopped charging for some reason. I then bought a new charger. Controller 2 still wouldn't charge. I then bought a new controller (#3). This was working fine but one day just refused to charge. I then bought another controller (#4) and that wouldn't charge either! So I bought another charger, and they all won't charge apart from controller #1 which is the only one which I can now use because the other 3 from not being able to charge, are now dead. BUT. Controller #4 will flash red lights for about 3 minutes as if it is charging but then goes off. It can also still be used as if it was a hard wired old PS2 controller. The other 2 are dead. What is the problem? Surely it isn't the charger because it charges 1 controller and also can still play with the other connected as PS2 like controller.
PLEASE HELP

Ok, one of two things is the problem either your USB PORT has gone corrupt or you got defective battery's Best advice I can give you is IF YOU HAVE AN I PHONE connect the charger cable to the I phone wall unit and try charging it that way. If you don't have an I phone try getting any USB WALL CHARGER. if that doesn't work then I think you have a battery Issue in which case you could buy one off of ebay for like $8 hope this helped. And by the way I have used the I phone USB to charge my controller and it works, it also works if you connect it to the USB of your computer and charge it that way however it takes longer.

I stand corrected a replacement battery cost $1

Remove the 4 or 5 screws on the back side, disconnect the battery and plug the new one in and DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE!..LOL and close it back up.
