∙ 12y agoThe PS3 has a settings menu that allows the PS3 to be automatically shut off when not in use. If your PS3 settings are set for automatic shutoff after not being used while you wanted to charge your controllers that was what it was supposed to do. Your controller should also be set to shut off when the PS3 turns off or you will always have fully discharged batteries when they have been left on. It is possible to set the PS3 to shut off automatically when not being used for a time that is long enough to fully charge your controller. The automatic shut down may even be turned off, but it is not recommended.
