Why does my DualShock 3 lose power even when it's not on?

I had a controller once that just refused to charge, so once it ran out it was gone. Maybe you have a bad one like I did (It was a SIXAXIS btw)

 

My SIXAXIS is another story.  It charges but I get an hour or two of play out of it.

 

If its happening with BOTH of your controllers you're obviously doing something wrong or your luck is just plain terrible. I just leave my controller plugged into my PC's USB port since its always on and charges the controller nicely. Personally, I get about 18-25 hours of play out of a charge with my SIXAXIS and maybe 4 less with the dualshock.
