your button's will die before the LI Batteries do.

As i said before, you have to play at least 7 Years 24 hours a day to kill them.



I'm a Foreigner, and as such, i am grateful for everyone pointing out any mistakes in my english posted above - only this way i'll be able to improve. thank you!

MICROSOFT!

See, once my battery dies, I sell them to people for $20 each to at least recoup some of the cost. I don't know why people bother buying them from me and why they're so eager. (one guy even laughed during the transaction...odd)

So they are saying that you can't recharge the battery?

What are they saying? I don't understand.

Wow.... Guys, I think they mean when the battery itself will no longer function... regardless of charges. And, sure, the battery's in the controller, and you can't replace it, so, when it stops working, in however many YEARS, you'll have to buy a new controller....

They're not saying that once the batter dies after 20 hours of play, you'll have to buy a new controller........................

I already understood that >_< but I never heard of a PS3 controller crapping out permanently and wanyed to know if it ever happened to anyone.

All rechargeable batteries slowly die. But it takes a LONG, LONG time. I believe the guy at the store said 15 years' worth of charges before the battery becomes too weak to use. And that's charging every day.

Also, it's not welded on, it's screwed on. You could buy a new battery and put it in. Or just buy a new controller. I'm pretty sure one controller costs less than 15 years' worth of batteries.
