To fix this problem plug in your controller (the red light should come on for a few seconds) when the green light comes on unplug the controller and plug it in again, continue this process until the red light stays on. This can take any where from 10-30 times till it works, the reasoning behind this?
Ni-Mh battery's loose 30% charge in this first day with no use, then the charge rate decreases and will completely discharge at room temperature in about 30 days. The problem that you have ran into is that the battery is so slow that it wont except a charge. The capacitance of the battery its self is changing polarity to a near neutral when it reaches such a dead point. By forcing the recharge on the battery over and over again you are giving the battery enough of a charge to allow it to recharge as per normal again.
I hope this helps you and any one else who comes across this problem! got this from an earlier thread and it's worked for me.

I've had limited success with this technique:

I just kept plugging in the charge cable, waiting for the green light to come on, unplugging it and plugging it back in again. Eventually the red light stayed on. I'm going to try this with my other controller and battery, which is also having the same problems. I'll let you know if it works.

Apparently it's an idiosyncracy of LiIon batteries, if you dischage them too much they're reluctant to charge back up again. By constantly charging them a bit with the play and charge kit you build up the charge enough for them to properly charge. I have no idea if this is true or not, but it's currently working on one of my batteries.

Yes, which game to get is the question. Looks like Super Mario Bros. 3 is probably the best bet. Looks like there are lots of clunkers.

Trophies are fun and all but sometimes I would just like to play a game without being told in the form of a tone that I achieved yet another trophy. I think trophies are a great idea but Sony should allow users to have a choice whether to have a notice on trophies achieved or not. By disabling the trophies in games you can still get them but you wont be told unless you go to to the trophy section in the XMB. Anyway agree?

Come on Sony make this happen!Swift_Boss_A

I agree with you 100%. XBox lets you turn off notifications and it is nice to be able to play certain games without the distraction, especially games with immersive stories or fast action.

the club (never played the fool game but the demo was awesome), shadowrun, red dead revolver,
