Can you charge the DS3 controller through the PS3's USB ports when the console is off? If not, why not!!! I don't really want to be playing it while tethered to the console by a short USB cable, but only have one controller which is always iin use if the PS3 is on. What do you guys do to charge yours?

Also, what type of battery is in it? If I charge it without it being fully run down, will it lose capacity?
 
Yea, think I'll have to stick it in the PC until I get a 2nd pad. Do you know if the Xbox 360's USB ports are given power when it's on standby?

Also, do you know the answer to my other question-whether the battery will lose capaccity if it's charged when not fully run down?
