play and charge ?'s

[papastiffy]

is it bad for the controller if i remove the batter pack and play with the charge cord in so it's like a wired controller? also, how long does the battery the pack comes with last for? also, is it bad to charge the batteries on it when its not fully depleted?

i didnt think you could use the controller without the battery pack, isnt the controller still wireless even when its charging??

for example could you not plug into you pc to charge but still play with it??
or is it a case of once you plug it in it becomes wired until you stop charging it??

I find the play and charge to be good apart from the fact it can take a long time to charge the batteries.

You can use the play and charge without a battery pack but I would advice against this and you leave the battery terminals exposed wish may lead to electric shock!

well in my expirances with the playstation portable, it was not good at all to leave the battery out while having the charger in (as if it wer wired like a console) beacuse it messes up stuff like the charger and the place where it plugs into. so no u shouldnt do that, it could have bad effects on the charger and the controller itself.
