I bought a original Sony battery recently .When charged it reaches at the first time only 40% of charge and says "Fully Charged" and the orange led shuts off. I played with it until it discharges and it takes a lot of time in 0% metter (about one hour). In the second charge it reached only 32% and when it arrived in 0% the PSP shutdow as a normal battery... the one which came with PSP and a fake battery works normaly...
This new battery is damaged ? The first thing which i did when i oppened the box is put it to charge ... i must discharge the battery first or not ?

ive never had any problems with any of my PSP Batteries, i suppose that like Laptop batteries they will run down if not discharged properly,

May be a dodgy battery

Itś not appear a fake battery. So in the back face it shows exactly the same informations of the original one and it's doesnt made of a low-quality plastic as my "3600Mah" battery... the unique difference is: the battery wich came with PSP says "Made in China" and the newer says "Made in Japan" .

The box looks like this:

Ni-Cd batteries really needs a charge-discharge cicle and take a time to aquire full performance, but the PSP one is Li-on and even my fake one doesnt have this problem, all i just do is put it in the charger and wait about two hours.
And now it shows 30% and Fully Charged !!!
