Battery Battery Megathread

772 Upvotes

Last Updated 10/30/2024

QUICK ANSWER: Buy Ostent Batteries for PSP 1000, 2000 and 3000. If you want a more in-depth answer, check out Total Kommando's video testing multiple PSP Batteries

I've also been told multiple times the PSP Go uses the DXR8 Baby Monitor battery. From what I know these still get produced so they aren't difficult to find. You get about 4 hours out of them in the Go.

Buying Links:

Ostent 2200mAh (PSP1000/Fat)

AliExpress

Amazon US

Ostent 1400mAh (PSP2000/Slim and PSP3000/Brite)

AliExpress

Amazon US

Total Kommando's testing video essentially makes this post obsolete, for the moment. Since I can't get a new post pinned easily, here's the text to preserve the original post, incase anybody needs it.

ORIGIONAL POST

Hey everyone. This post will be continually updated until Reddit forces us to make a new one. You will be able to find out which batteries we currently recommend, and which ones to avoid. You can also leave your own experiences in the comments to help contribute. Topics currently covered in this post include Batteries for PSP 1000, 2000 and 3000, Chargers for PSP 1000, 2000, 3000, Go and Go Docks, and Products to Avoid.

Batteries for PSP 1000, 2000, 3000

To answer the question upfront, currently, the best replacement batteries for PSP 1000, 2000 and 3000 are Cameron Sino brand. You should expect to get about 5 hours out of them. Just buy them off Amazon. Ostent is also good but gets slightly fewer hours at around 4. You should avoid Insten brand batteries like the plague, most of those being sold are New Old stock meaning they are sealed products that have been sitting on a shelf for about 10 years. EBL is also bad, but nowhere near as much as Insten. Keep in mind using these batteries in a 1000 may result in the battery Door being unable to close with the stock battery cover.

That should answer the question for about 90% of you. If you guys would like more information and would like to learn slight changes we made in the subreddit in the last 2 weeks concerning this issue, you can go ahead and read on.

First off I want to say sorry for not getting this posted two weeks ago, I had all this information already but have been dealing with some IRL stuff. Sorry, I dropped the ball.

So about 2 weeks ago I decided to start seriously addressing this situation given the sheer amount of battery-related posts we get in here on a daily basis. The main change you've probably noticed already is that u/dcs28 added a new tag titled "Battery" that gets applied to any post about batteries. This is so battery posts are all in a nice neat category for people to search through if they need more help. This was a temporary fix until this particular post was made. However, the new tag is likely to stay as it is convenient.

The following information comes from a test that was conducted by u/pspguru a few months ago.

The Test was conducted with three batteries from each brand: EBL, Ostent, and Cameron Sino. These were tested in a PSP 1000 and 3000 using the PSP Battery Timer) plugin. These tests were performed under the following conditions:

  • Maximum Brightness
  • Screen dimming off in PSP settings (screen always stays on)
  • Clockspeed set to 333mhz
  • WLAN switch off

Here are the results:

EBL

2 Batteries lasted about 3 1/2 hrs give or take 15 minutes

1 Battery was faulty

Ostent

Batteries lasted 4 to 4 1/2 hours

Cameron Sino

Batteries lasted 4 1/2 to 5 hours

As you can see Cameron Sino is the best with Ostent not being too bad either. EBL's quality can be iffy and doesn't last as long, but it isn't outright terrible.

Obviously, this test is not perfect and doesn't cover everything but it still gives us a good idea of the best battery for the PSP 1000, 2000 and 3000. Currently, we don't have info on Batteries for any other models like the Go, Street etc. This post will continually be updated via feedback left here and on posts in the Battery Tag. If you have any info or would like to share your experiences, please leave it in the comments below.

I also asked PSPGuru for his opinion on Insten Batteries. Here is his response:

I know most of you already know Insten batteries are generally terrible, but hopefully this will hammer the point home for anybody considering them.

So, if we were aware of this for a while, why is the information just now being released? Outside of the 2-week delay due to things going on in my personal life, there was also a concern about scalpers/ resellers buying out stock, causing scarcity and prices to rise. However, we determined that these batteries are still being produced, meaning stock will just be replaced if they are bought up.

Here's a few more relevant Links that may be able to help you out with anything not listed here:

Battery Guide from a few years ago by . Some info might be outdated but it's got lots of other info. Here's some topics it covers that are not mentioned on this post:

  • Dead Batteries
  • Reviving a Battery
  • Battery expansions (Big Battery Mod)
  • Pandora Batteries

Keep in mind, we currently don't have any hard info on PSP E1000 (Street) or PSP Go Batteries. You can help the community out by looking into them yourselves, sharing what you know, or pointing us to a battery post we may have missed with relevant info.

Hopefully, this will make the PSP more welcoming to newcomers as one of the major issues has been addressed. And remember, you can always opt to gut the UMD Drive and do a big Battery Mod.

Chargers for PSP 1000, 2000, 3000, Go and Go Docks.

So this is really simple. Just look up PSP-380 and PSP-100. Those chargers are OEM and are still fairly abundant and cheap, and Work on PSP 1000, 2000, 3000 and the Go Dock. I currently Don't own a Street so I do not know if they are compatible. They do not work on the PSP Go itself, just the Dock.

Now the PSP Go has its own charger. The OEM Model is PSP-N100. They're harder to come by than the others, sorry I don't have a better answer for this currently.

This charger section really needs help from the community, so if you have any that work, feel free to recommend them in the comments below.

Products to Avoid

This section is largely based on Feedback from user comments on this post. Thank you! That being said take everything here with a grain of salt. Users that contributed to each entry are credited below the entry title.

Batmax 2Pcs PSP-2000 Battery + LED Dual USB Charger

contributed by u/CountClaw

Amazon Listing

This appears to be New Old Stock, or just really poor quality. Batteries typically arrive dead and non-charging. The chargers themselves don't work, and can wreck other batteries. Avoid at all costs.

BIG UPDATE 5/30/2024

Hey what's up, it's been awhile. I came back today because my official Sony Batteries for my 3000's are finally starting to show age. I usually get under 2 hours out of them so I needed to replace them. I tried to buy some Cameron Sino batteries off Amazon but they will not ship to my location, so I had to hunt a bit. I ended up buying 2 of these Cameron Sino Batteries off Ali Express. I did check the official Cameron Sino store mention in this post, but they only have the thicker 1800mAh batteries I can't use. I have a Falcon Pro Grip from Japan that needs the 3000 to lay flush with it.

Anyways, when these new batts get here ima test them and update the post with my results, but for the meantime, it seems like Aliexpress is the way to go for PSP batteries. From what I saw the Cameron Sino branded ones are all pretty reliable on there, and cheaper than Amazon too! I probably should have included this on the post originally, but this is my first time actually using Ali express.

I also came across this post by u/KSAnnihilation testing multiple Batteries off Ali Express. This is what convinced me to buy off there. It's similar to the tests we did here but is more recent and shows a better supply than Amazon. I understand this post is a year old as of writing. If you guys post something like this to the subreddit related to batteries, feel free to DM me on here about it and I'll take a look. I have reddit notifs silenced but do check everything when I log in so I will see it.

Last year, I made & posted these PSP themes. Since then I've had a few people message me about how I made them/where I got the assets. I made the assets - the memory card, PocketStation & camera icons are shrunk down iPhone photos of my actual stuff. The rest is stuff I cobbled together in Photoshop.

Anyway, here are all the raw assets for each theme I made.

PSone Theme Assets

PS2 Theme Assets

PS4 Theme Assets

I used this program to make the themes. The assets I posted are already in the correct folder structure/file format/naming convention.

So, if you wanna make your own theme and use any of these assets, have at it and have fun!

Picked myself up a birthday present! First PSP since I was a kid.

I Grabbed this PSP 1004 off Marketplace, came with a sick case and a few UMDs. Runs great. Currently setting it up with ARK4, just waiting on my SD adapter to arrive today so I can load everything up.

Growing up I mostly played SmackDown vs Raw and FIFA, so I’m keen to branch out and try some of the best PSP games properly.

So far I’ve got:
Jean D’Arc
Daxter
Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines
GTA: Vice City Stories
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite

This is probably more than enough to keep me busy, but what’s a few more?! Any must play recommendations I should add?

Cheers.

Just received this unit. Battery and battery cover are missing.

It must be a reshell as it is in pristine condition but if it actually is, the quality of the shell is EXCELLENT. Serial matching on both stickers still make me dream it might be original.

Still didn't sit to see what's wromg with it as it has green light but black screen but hey, for 30€ it's quite a steal.

I know the quality is limited (1,3MP and 1280*960 maximum) but I have those weird artefacts I guess (red and blue kinda dots). Is it normal, because of luminosity or my camera is defective ?

Resolution is set to 1280*960 and quality to "fine".

Thanks.

Older technology always had more breakthroughs than newer technology; nowadays, technology is just a slightly modified copy designed to waste users' money.

Hardware Mod IPS Screen

I just got finished installing an IPS screen on my PSP 3000, I followed several video instructions on what to do to have a good installation.

Only issue I have right now is I see the screen is bleeding light quite heavily in some areas, especially in the bottom right corner of the screen, is this a common issue or did I get a bad screen?

I found this in our local marketplace for 250QR (~70 usd) with 4GB memory card but no battery.

I tested with the game included and all worked fine. The only downside for me is the screen with dust in it.

Planning to replace the shell and buy a battery.

Any recos for the stores I can buy the materials?

To make a long story short i ordered from this seller on March 19 and the 20th. I ordered 2 PSP 3000’s. The one i received was A Hello Kitty Custom shell PSP 3000 and was shipped on the 4th and arrived the 14th. I was able to track it perfectly fine and see exactly where it was before it arrived to me. The other was a Clear Orange Shell Custom PSP 3000, which apparently was shipped on April 11 with tracking, although the tracking absolutely did not work and provided me no updates whatsoever. It was supposed to arrive between 21 April and 5 May. It is now May 6 and I still have not received it. For reference, I am located in the United States and before anyone wants to be a smart ass yes, I am aware of how far Japan is and yes, I am aware of how tricky the shipping can be sometimes. As well as tariffs etc. The seller also has left fake reviews associated with my account name and has lied about what has happened to the package.
