| hinch said: Spreading more anti Sony FUD, I see. When was the last time a lithium battery failed on you? The DS3 controller I'm using now is 5 years old and still holds its charge.. which is more than can be said about my two (official) dead battery packs for my 360. |
Are you seriously trying to suggest a Lithium battery doesn't wear out?
While Lithium batteries don't have memory, they absolutely wear out. The life of a Lithium battery is really dependent upon the usage and charge cycle. The hotter the battery gets, especially during charging, the shorter the battery life will be. Ideally you don't allow a Lithium battery to drop below 30% charge and don't charge it beyond 90% capacity. This way, you don't burn out the cells.
I've had a Lithium battery wear out in my cell phone before. I've also had one explode. When I worked in electronics, I routinely had to replace Lithium batteries for customers. And more often than not, if someone has a laptop, it's a Lithium battery and if it's more than 3 years old it's likely worn out or severely degraded.
I highly doubt, unless you routinely charge it without letting it go down to nothing, that your DS3 controller's battery is 100%. In fact, I hope you knocked on wood, because it's most likely not going to survive much longer.
