The PS3 dual shock 3 controller is turned on by pressing the Playstation Emblem. They do not need to be plugged in except to charge and the initial connection with the PS3. They would not always be desired to be functional when charging or fully charged and still plugged in. Except when the system is set up to automatically turn off the controllers they are turned off by using the PS emblem to bring an on screen menu that has a selection for turning off the controller as well as other choices. The system (PS3) should be set to automatically turn off the controllers with the PS3 or you will find the controllers always need to be charged
