Damn! I just bought this thing. What should I do with it when it arrives? Bury it in the garden? Is it any better than the original PSP battery at all?

I've got one of these. Picked it up in Beirut. It works, but it doesn't last very long, and it doesn't report its charge state properly to the PSP, so you'll crap out with no warning. Oh yes, and is not compatible with Pandora.
so you buy this then you use it and realise you get less life out of the battery than a 1 year old 1800 mah battery. thats what happened to me - bought a sony battery fairly cheap, advert said genuine, it wasnt. it lasted for 50 mins of game playing where my 1 year old original lasted for almost 2 hours. i should add that this was playing a umd - you may get more from an iso, but as we cant discuss this ill stop here.
fakes are bad and dangerous - true you cant expect much at this price but consider that these fakes can explode if left on charge for too long - i wouldnt risk my psp on a 3 quid battery.
I had one of these. When it reachs 10% PSP backlight shut off and freezes. And it gives you 50 minutes or one hour of gameplay. Dont worth all the headache which it can give you.
Sounds like this battery may not be such a deal...
I purchased an Intec 2400mAh battery that came with a secondary charger with a car adaptor. The battery doesn't report it's charge state as accurately as the sony battery, but it does last slightly(only about 10-15 minutes) longer than my original battery. When I say not as accurately, it seems to only report 100%, 83%, 66%, 50%, 33%, and 10%. Rather than single percentage increments on my original sony.
I've been using the Intec for about 4 months now and I have not noticed any degredation in the charge it holds. It converted to pandora and back without any issues. I now use the original 1800mAh sony as my pandora.
On another note, has anyone done a battery mod with those new duracell AAA lithiums? they supposedly have a 1100mAh capacity at 1.2v. so 3 of them would theoretically give you a 3.6v 3300mAh power source...
D: time to give my hopes up
There is no hope for this one, man.Quote:

Only had to read as far as 3600mAh to know that this was junk. They can't make such a capacity that small.
I bought one of these from DealExtreme for about 7$ (shipping included).
I like the battery but i dont think its really 3600 mAh.
At least it dont work with its full power then.
So it's not quite the deal of the year
