Replacement battery for PSP slim

Hi, 

 

I've had my PSP Slim & Lite quite a few years but still enjoy a quick game when I have the time. Recently noticed that the battery dies off much quicker than it used to, and started looking for a new one (or two just in case!), but I can't find an official sony replacement battery anywhere. Amazon is full of replicas, play.com had one listed as official, I got it and realized it was a replica as well, wouldn't even fit on my PSP Slim, so I sent it back. Please help!

Please use plain text.

Re: Replacement battery for PSP slim

You're probably only going to find replicas now as the console is out of production. Sorry :smileysad:

You could try completely draining it to the point it won't turn on even after leaving it for an hour or two, then letting it charge for 16 or more hours. This may provide a small boost to the battery performance after doing it two or three times, other than that I'm afraid you're out of luck.

Hi artopand,

 

Strange's suggestion is a good one, if you wear the battery down until its completely empty and then charge it up completely this may help the battery life.

 

Otherwise you may still be able to find a long life slim battery for the PSP which was an official battery for the PSP launched some time ago.

 

Otherwise if you have no luck from a retailer online you could try calling the support line, the numbers can be found here:

They may still sell them directly, or know of where to purchase them perhaps?

It seems that the 2000 and 3000 batteries are interchangeable, however I haven't got either console so can't substantiate that claim. Rabid?
