Online retail store DealExtreme is currently offering two third-party battery solutions for the PlayStation Portable. The first one is about a solar-powered battery pack while the other is a battery pack dock for the PSP Slim & Lite.

Like we mentioned, the first offering is a PSP battery capable of charging itself through solar power. It has a dimension of 6.46 in x 2.76 in x 0.79 in and weighs around 9.81 oz. Supposedly, it's capable of providing 1800 mAh of power at full charge.

The battery pack dock, on the other hand, can offer up to a staggering 4800 mAh amount of power to your PSP Slim. Quite honestly, we haven't seen anything like it before so might want to consider if that amount of power is safe for your handheld or not.

Anyway, for interested buyers, the solar-powered battery costs US$ 28.76 while the battery pack dock is currently going for US$ 13.94. The source link below will lead you to the first offer, where you can also obtain the link for the second product.

» What?

Please learn a little about electricity before posting about an electronic device. mAh is a measure of capacity rather than voltage. No amount of battery capacity will damage your PSP while too much voltage will fry it in an instant.



My slim, for example, delivers 1200 mAh of current at 3.6 volts. The phat battery delivers 1800 mAh of current at 3.6 volts. What this means is that you should be able to play your slim 300% longer than you currently can without a recharge. So if you currently average 6 hours per charge with your OEM slim battery then you should average 24 hours for the external battery.



Your phat should work for approximately 167% longer than normal with the external battery. So if you currently average 6 hours per charge with your OEM phat battery you should average 16 with the external battery.

The Slim battery holds less of a charge than the Phat battery - so it probably should be the other way round - in regards to the fat battery lasting an average of 24 hours and the slim battery lasting an average of 16 hours.

» You didn't understand his math.

Yes, the battery capacity is greater. But for the purpose of his math, he pretended the battery lasted the same amount of time, while consuming 50% more power. Therefore, if it's producing the same amount of time while consuming more power, then giving it an equal increase in power will also give it a lesser increase in time. How these figures hold up in the real world, I do not know.
