Yes it comes with a USB cable that can charge the controller, but only when the PS3 is on. Some people purchase additional controllers and a separate charging station for multiple PS3 controllers so that they are ready to play and at full power. The setting on the PS3 also need to be set to turn the controllers off when not being used or they will be out of power when you want to play and must be played using the charging cable. You can also purchase longer charging cables to enable you to play further away from the PS3 when they need to be charged.
