i think its done when the light stops blinking on the top of the controller but im not sure because it stops blinking after 45 mins to an hour and i heard it takes longer to fully charge...i just want to know so i can let them fully charge before unpluging them to keep the batteries good....

When the PS3 is on, hit the PS button and it gives the controllers stats, like the battary charge.

Its definately done after it stops blinking. Try holding the PS button down and have that menu come up. It should say "Charge Complete" where the battery symbol is.

The usb charge cable works with a computer too. So you can charge the controllers while your computer is on.
