Watch This Before You Buy A PSP Battery In 2024

[@TotalKommando]

Post Notes: - The 2200 will work on 2K/3K PSPs but you will either need to get an extended battery cover or use a MH3000 Shell - All 6 of my Cameron Sino batteries were purchased off Amazon US from the same seller - OSTENT out of the box will have an extremely tight fit, just make sure its lined up, and give it a good hard press to pop them in - 20:47 is where you will find the answer to something no one thought to ask, and it's massive discovery that deserves a bit more research! - I didn't talk about pricing as most of these hover around the same price - BMS Images will be edited & uploaded once I get some sleep. - According to one other person's 1800 Cameron Sino, the "Good" black PCB one might be the one advertised for the phat models only - End Screen Fail The Promised Records: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vemXNVact5ftftxo81HfBz3q3H0IFF04TG89z6DVXFs/edit?usp=sharing Discord: discordapp.com/invite/5bsGzq7

Came here just now after my 7 yr old son found my original Model PSP-110 I’d left out on my work bench. He plugged in the charger and within 5 mins ran upstairs to me saying the back cover blew off 😳 It didn’t explode just swelled up. I safely removed it and of course googled why this happens and finding out I’ve let this sit for over 8 yrs of non usage. Well now I’m grateful even more so for your video and still need to buy a replacement battery so I can pass on the enjoyment of the PSP to my mini me

[@TotalKommando]

I would get one for your self as well, and then you can play local multiplayer games using adhoc. Tons of fun specially with racing games that the psp is plenty of. Never gets old Would recommend saving the BMS on that original battery as well as the cover, incase you get into modding and want to install a high capacity battery or even recover your psp

Wow Man! The effort you put into this whole video, the editing, the research, the money.... seriously no words to thank you, this is a video I didn't know I needed to see as a psp enthusiast. I've dabbled in a lot of fake original batteries and just made my peace with getting 1-2 hrs battery life with sudden shutdowns. now i see that is not the case, the ostent's sounds so amazing, 5 hrs with the psp 3k seemed unimaginable in this era.

Also I never play with the system while it's connected to a charger if I want to do that I just remove the battery and then play it with the AC plugged in.

[@DarkBowser64]

Great video! It took me until just now to say "yeah I'm interested, I'll watch it" instead of passing it over; that does tend to happen where you're just not quite interested in a specific video you're seeing quite yet (even if the subject matter does generally interest you) and then you're in the mood later. I love the extremely comprehensive, almost obsessive videos that get way into the nitty-gritty details of everything; I'm all for that stuff. Love having this big database of battery information here. I definitely will want to look into the PSP-1000 size battery + an expanded battery cover fitting the 3000. Also good to see those external PSP battery chargers -- it absolutely sucks to use the original charger on my PSP because it doesn't work half the time (bad connector on the charger itself) and nothing uses the mini-USB on top of the PSP anymore. Charging with USB Mode is slow, but at the same time I don't want to use the OEM AC adapter because A: mine is bad, and B: we've really moved on from proprietary charging at this point as a society. It appears since I bought my PSP-3000 new in box really late, like in 2012-2014 or so, I have the exact same TA-095v2 as you (but Piano Black), and I've never really been disappointed in the battery life of mine with the stock battery. The relative newness of my battery and it being the most power-efficient PSP-3000 model is probably why. Plus if I'm not going to use it for a while, I try to charge to a bit over 80% before storing it outside of the console, which is usually what's recommended for storage and it doesn't tend to be dead when I next intend to use my PSP.

It's cool to know that the new screens are actually more power efficient, despite the common misconception in the community. Makes the choice of switching over a no-brainer. Now we wait for the new panels for the 2000 and 3000 models (and maybe the GO, but I think it has the perfect screen as it is).

[@TotalKommando]

I agree, the GO is probably as good as its ever going to get, and the screen form factor makes it harder to develop a custom screen for. One day man, we can just hope to get an OLED for n a slim, that will be something

[@butchdeadlift7551]

Thank you so much for all the effort you put into this. There are few people passionate enough to do this level of in-septh testing.

[@IDrinkLava]

What fascinating and in-depth research. Battery life is probably one of the most important specs on a handheld device, yet people take it for granted to the point that superstitions about WiFi/333mHz/IPS causing significant battery drain become widespread. If you were to ever do a follow-up video, I'd appreciate some info on 0% to 100% charge time as well. Here are some of my relevant findings from my own handheld battery tests: -The God of War games on PSP are the most demanding on the battery life. On my last PSP Go, I got 3:30 in the Nyan cat test (222mHz) on the 3rd brightness setting, but only 2:54 idle on the 1st screen of Chains of Olympus (222mHz). -PS1 eboots and homebrew emulators are a bit more battery efficient. I got between 9 and 19 extra minutes of battery on my last PSP Go compared to the Nyan cat test (222mHz). I also somehow got 3 extra minutes in NesterJ by overclocking to 333mHz as opposed to leaving it at the underclocked 200mHz. -I've owned 3 PSP Gos with OEM batteries at different points. Two of them got 2:57 in the Nyan cat test (222mHz) on the 4th brightness setting, but one got 3:30. I'm not sure if this was because its battery was in better condition, or if it was because of a mobo revision. I didn't think to use PSPIdent, as I only owned that one very briefly before I had to get a refund. -The PS Vita 2000 with Adrenaline seems to be around as efficient as the average PSP 3000 with the Ostent 2200mAh battery. Mine got 7:48 in the Nyan cat test (222mHz) and 7:26 sitting idle on the first screen of God of War: Chains of Olympus (333mHz). That's assuming 100% brightness on the Vita 2000 is equivalent to max brightness on the PSP 3000, though.

[@TotalKommando]

I got some charge time numbers in the spreadsheet that you can checkout, didnt do many but typically should take 2.5-3 hours to charge most batteries. The PSV2K Adrenaline one is interesting, you can watch my IPS Video, inside I do a brightness comparison between all the PSV/PSP displays available for all models. You can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnm7Y3mAbcdngrs

[@IPlayToBag]

I noticed when you open the battery packs, that there is a lot of unused space with the padding in them that fills the void. If you took a good battery board and two of the best cells and connected them in parrel with each other, you could effectively create a bigger battery then the original Sony batteries and fit it within the battery casing. I'll try this out based on what you showed us here and post the results when I get it done.

[@TotalKommando]

Yea it's definitely possible but most of those padded ones are padded because they are running low capacity cells, one idea i had for a while for easy battery sourcing & a somewhat reversable mod is to get multiple good quality slim batteries and run them in parallel in the battery compartment & umd area with small holes for wires running through the walls

Where would buy a good battery cover or what should I do to cover the battery? Since it is clearly bulkier than the cover can handle.

If the photos are correct on this one, then this is one listing, they are hard to find when you search for them directly: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DDoDuB9 s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DeElux5 amzn.to/3XnbcJZ I would use the photos as reference and check in your local market

Happy about this because I just got 2 Ostent batteries through Amazon

Thanks for shoveling all that manure. Seriously finding good PSP batteries has been a straight up nightmare at times. Do you have any GBA SP and or DS systems? The battery selection is massive and finding a solid quality choice is again a bit wibbly wobbly to put it mildly.

[@TotalKommando]

Those HSBAT ones + 2 of the generic fake 3.6v ones i spent $100 on, total waste of money, but it had to be done lol I do have at least 1 of every DS variant. The batteries on those are insane, they can be left uncharged for years and power on like its nothing. Once im done with the PSP stuff I can start diving into other consoles.

[@brianwalker7771]

@@TotalKommando yep Great batteries on Ds and gba sp. After close to 20 years I had a sp battery stop charging. Of course swollen. My spare battery is working but is over 15 years old so I have started hunting and it is a bit overwhelming.

[@TotalKommando]

@@brianwalker7771 I think the last time I had a spicy boi, I somehow managed to order an original used one which has been holding up very well like literally every other ds I have, charge once and can power on with plenty of juice a year later of just sitting

[@brianwalker7771]

I hear you polar opposite of the PSP batteries. Sit for a year and still power up vs drained in under a week. I don't know what sorcery Nintendo used but one battery croaking on me in a 20 year period is amazing.

[@TotalKommando]

@@brianwalker7771 Here is whats surprising, the Vitas share similar powers. One time I left my vita in storage, thought I had shut it down, also about a year later, i came to long press power on and notice it turned out, and it resumed me back into what ever game was running LOL

Amazing video, thanks for the great work!

Great video!! I'm gonna buy the ostent batteries for my 1000 and 2000 models. I have the original ones for both of them but i'm going to maintain the 1000 model as long as i can just for use for unbricking tools. I've only done tests using the 1000 model battery on the 2000 model before and it was a great difference in time. Another thing i noticed is that probably the pcb on the original ones has the components used for the pandora battery. I can be wrong for lots of reasons because there are pandora kits available and i don't think that they are all made from original battery pcb's.

[@TotalKommando]

I used to have one of those fancy Pandoras with a button and LED battery indicator, too bad I no longer have it. Its been a long time, cant recall what they used inside, but it was definitely a custom pcb

[@DrBagPhD]

You are royalty among peasants, absolutely excellent video. Thank you for your effort!

[@TotalKommando]

xD

[@MatthewCenance]

I didn't know the PSP 3000 had a further power efficiency improvement over the PSP 2000. It was obvious the PSP 2000 had it over the PSP 1000 because otherwise the battery life would be worse due to the smaller battery.

[@juanyanez755]

Thank you dude!! i always wanted a video like this , do u have any about third party xbox 360 controller or ps3 to see which one is best??

[@--waffle-]

excellent video bro. i know youre a PSP guy, but id love to see the same again for Vita.

[@TotalKommando]

Once I am done with the bulk of PSP projects, right after that are going to be the vitas!

[@--waffle-]

@@TotalKommando no way!!!? Doing the lord's work! 💪💪💪

[@WheeledHamster]

The best battery to power that Nyan Cat ass rainbow propulsion engine!

[@SanctusBacchus]

Really cool and useful videos, thanks!

[@diogomes26]

This video is gold!!! Thank you 🙏

[@Nico-mi2pr]

It would be interesting to see the black PCB with the Ostent cell, as they seem to be the better components of the bunch

[@TotalKommando]

Same

[@schm1dtmac]

Brief note: The Ostent batteries still have one main flaw, that being their shitty Chinese battery PCB that is unquestionably worse than a legitimate Sony PCB. This both means that Ostent batteries cannot be used as Pandora batteries, and that they're vulnerable to the low-quality MCU crashing spontaneously as happened to me just now (affects any PSP model with a removable battery) or when USB Charging (for 2000/3000 models). Same applies to any other aftermarket battery that doesn't use a Sony board or anything close to it, or more simply, any non-Pandora capable battery. EDIT: If you DO get affected by an MCU crash, do try either leaving the battery to discharge, or just putting it back into your PSP and letting it sit and charge for a bit, the latter did somehow revive my battery strangely enough. Otherwise, refer to existing guidance online for how to short the MCU reset pin after taking the battery apart if the above doesn't work.

[@TotalKommando]

I agree, but sadly we don't have any other options at this point in time that don't require moding I was hoping to see a custom board when I opened it up but was surprised to see it using the standard cheapest.
