PS3 Controller Being Treated as Laptop Battery By System

I just recently noticed that whenever I either boot my system running GNOME 3 as my desktop environment with my PS3 Dualshock 3 controller plugged in, it treats it as both a controller and as a laptop battery. And not only does it treat the controller as a laptop battery according to gnome-power-statistics, but it's also actively draining the battery of the controller (while on the miniUSB charger cable), and I have actually had the system shut down from the controller battery being reported as low. When I boot without the controller plugged in, my power information looks as it should for a desktop computer, but once I plug in the controller, I get a battery indicator on my top bar and a Laptop Battery section in Power Statistics. Unplugging the controller does not take the system out of what it thinks is laptop mode either.
