Of third-party PSP batteries |
Ó
We came across this Korean PSP fansite, Ruliweb, which has conducted a few interesting tests on third-party PSP batteries with some not so good results.According to the rough web translation of the site, the guys from Ruliweb tested three different third-party batteries: one at 2200mAh and two others at 2600mAh. The official Sony batteries come in 1800mAh and 200mAh packs.
Apparently, the testers discovered that all of the third-party batteries underperformed, giving out less juice than they were advertised for. "The 2200mAh battery actually produced 2000mAh of power," posted PSP-Vault, "while the two 2600mAh batteries only produced roughly 1550mAh of power."
Now, here's the most interesting thing. Ruliweb's test results page shows an image of a melted PSP. It seems that they managed to destroy a PSP during the tests. It seems they're really serious in peering into the dependability and safety of these third-party PSP batteries, let's all hope they yield good results.

just goes to show that you should only trust first party, and reliable sources for things like that...
so it is best to get one of these 2000mah battery's from sony, or a 2200 fake one, if you are prepared to risk your beloved handheld...
did i read that correctly ?
The official Sony batteries come in 1800mAh and 200mAh packs.
200 mAh ???
it lasts like 10 minutes or somthing !!!
The official Sony batteries come in 1800mAh and 200mAh packs.
Don't you mean 2000mAh?
Most of those so called high capacity batteries made by the third party manufacturers are lithium polymer batteries, as opposed to the lithium-ion batteries made by sony.
The polymer batteries are extrememly touchy. Charge them too much, they burn. Run them down too far, and they burn, or loose capacity. I've used them in my R/C aircraft, and have had one overcharge. When they do set themselves on fire, it's a really impressive flame, let me tell you, lol... But the first time I saw those in Best Buy for the PSP, I was shocked. I can only imagine what they will do if they light up in your house while charging and burn down the house.
I think he means 2000mAh
ditto
I've been using the 2600 mah max II power battery from divneo's website.. no problems with my psp.. the battery lasts much longer than the sony.. same results for my friend too (both ordered at the same time)
4+ hours of psx gameplay and I have yet to keep track of just music usage since I play games during the day..
that poor melted psp!! its such a shame 3rd parties make such defective accessories. I'll stick with my Sony battery.
We have to kill third party members and put them into a concentration camp
Lol this is hilarius.. My uncle just came by, and when I mean just came by I mean like 10 mins ago. He gave me a 3600mAh and a 2200mAh PSP battery, and wanted me to make a review on them. >_>
Im not so sure if I wanna put those batteries in my psp now...
bout one from play asia .. a 2600 mega battery Pack..and it works... i don't have any problems witht it...
and it only Costed me... $12.. and it does last longer then the 1800 from sony.. but yeah...
just be careful on what you buy..
I have the 2600 mAh one... After recharge it shows the time 11:11 remaining and goes really fast down... it last only 5 hours (watching movies at 120 MHz) and turns off... But it doesnt turns off at 0 % but cca at 25 %... But I use it because I use it very much and recharge it once or twice a day
sorry... It says my battery is "3.6v 3600mAh BATTERY PACK"
I have the 1800 that came with my unit, an dI bought a second, 2200 Sony battery from walmart. it lasts a good deal longer...
Got the same thing at the same place for the same price as the person above. and I like the battery a lot. it definately lasts longer than the 1800mah sony one. and about the battery pic that they show, that could be from the sony battery. sony's the one who was in trouble a year or so a go for making exploding batteries. alot of people say don't use 3rd party batteries but I kinda don't trust sony's one either and there ones cost $50 which is ridiculous.
I have a 3rd party 1800MHz battery I bought for $20. It's a Lithium Ion Polymer. According to Wikipedia, these batteries are safer than Lithium Ions (won't explode and ruin your PSP most likely), hold a charge longer (5% loss per month rather than 20% loss per month), and capacity does not depreciate, like normal Lithium Ions.
Sorry to say, this battery is amazing and perfectly safe.
.
Yah, those batteries must really suck alot. Foreign batteries are so horribly bult.

.. is this "datel X2" battery any good ?
i'm about to order one.
I mean it's not going to explode or somthing huh ?
.. is this datel X2 battery any good ? im about to order one. I mean its not going to explode or somthing huh ?
i am using the datel max x2 now for 6 to 8 months no problem, lasts twice as long very effective, only downside is no magicgate, so if you have FW 3.00 of higher and you want to play popstation games, then you can forghet it.....it just doesnt load......everyting else works none the less.....
TY, good to know.
Im planning only to get the battery. Not the harddrive edition.
"Overcharging a Li-Poly battery will likely result in explosion and/or fire. During discharge on load, the load has to be removed as soon as the voltage drops below approximately 3.0 V per cell (used in a series combination), or else the battery will subsequently no longer accept a charge."
Wikipedia says that it does have advantages as Lithium-Polymer, but it also has that one main disadvantage. Also they lose storage capacity (down to 80%) if they are fully discharged a few times.
but i get over four hours on my official 1800mAh battery.
The original Sony batteries are 1800 and 2200 mAh, right?
And how can I know it for sure that a 2200mAh Sony battery is original or fake one?
read it again, it says it's less flammable, but has more of a chance of catching on fire or exploding.
read what i quoted below. It can lose 20% of it's life if it is fully discharged.....
Lithium Ion's are safer, but they are slightly more expensive. I'm getting http://videogame.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id+00120+dept_id+006+cat_id+006
because it can hold a lot of power and DCemu gave it a good review. (nothing about overheating)
No problems. The 2600 I bought sucks though.
in their catalog so you can order directly from them or walmart.
If a sony battery explodes then they have to replace the PSP since its thier own damn fault.
But, let's say a 3rd party battery explodes and you call Sony, they will say you should have used theirs.
Yeah, but "Li-Poly cells have to be protected from overcharge by limiting the applied voltage to no more than 4.235 V per cell used in a series combination"
And when the PSP is fully charged (and running), it will stop charging the battery. And, I've been used this battery for the past 6 months.
I lost my real Sony PSP battery (in a foreign country), so I'm kinda stuck with this one anyway.
Yah, those batteries must really suck alot. Foreign batteries are so horribly bult.

Maybe on the lowest brightness level, volume turned off, and a very undemanding game...
I think he means 2200mAh
it's hilarious that people say that sony batteries are good. remember the exploding laptop battery recall by Sony?
go name brand all the way, just remember you pay for what you get ...
good point but I got the battery so I could use it longer while running it at 333mhz and 4th britness level so what ever warrenty i had was voided a long time ago.
E BRAVE AND SHAVE

i still trust sony, even though there 2200 battery is expensive, it seems safe to use and it lastes 20 - 22% longer then the 1800 battery given to you when you buy your psp as well, so if your satisfied with 1800 battery you'll surely like safe and sound 2200

It's bulky but easy to get used to and it lasts forever compared to the standard battery. Definite thumb's up.
lol qj got a type0 and u found it!!
Third-Party batteries have no problem lying about the mah. Go with well known companies.
