Move motion controller not working.

I haven't played a game in a while that required my move controllers, but recently, I turned on Sports Champions and discovered that my controllers aren't working. When they are connected by a USB cord, they work fine, but the instant you disconnect them from the cord, nothing. I thought it was my charger, so I bought a new one, with indicator lights. It says that they are fully charged, but they still don't work unless they are connected with a cord. They are not that old, and were never disconnected from charging so long that the battery should be useless. I tried checking the controller assignments, but aside from making sure they were all diferent, I really don't know what I was looking for. Does anyone have any advise? I'm wondering if any recent PS3 updates could have anything to do with it?

What kind of charger are you using? When you unplug the controller, what happens to the lights? Do they shut off or start flashing? If they start flashing, it's a sync issue. Try to hold in the reset button on the back with a paper clip and then re-sync them (plug them in with USB cable to your ps3).
