My controller is chagred but behaves as if it has no charge.

I have two move controllers and both were low on battery life so I charged them both on my way to bed. The next morning one worked and the other did not. When connecting to a power source it blinks quickly then goes dark. It does the same when I use it to try and power up the PS3. Where the working one flickers and eventually syncs giving a solid red light at the bottom of the controller the malfunctioning one will not. It flickers then goes dead without ever having turning on the PS3.

"Great!!

I hit the reset button and my Move controller start working again. I thought that the battery was malfunctioning."

I had this problem with my son’s motion controllers. I took the batteries out and charged them separately using a bench power supply set to 4.2v and 1.3A maximum. Once the current had dropped below 700mA I reinstalled them and they now work normally. It appears that when the batteries are deeply discharged, the USB charging can’t cope and they need some more powerful charging. I hope that helps.
