I have the PSP 3000, and the batteries don't fit very well. My main reason for buying this item was to be able to charge my spare battery outside of the PSP. This device is a total failure in that aspect. I managed to get the battery in and the charging light came on for about 45 seconds and then indicated full charge.Then guess what. The PSP wouldn't even recognize the battery.Obviously this product has some serious problems (at least with the PSP 3000 battery)
Bought this at Gamestop about 6 months ago. The retracking charge cable keeps out of the way when not in use although I wish they'd made it longer. I leave in the car to power and recharge the psp while driving and use the AC feature in hotels. Battery works perfectly and stays charged for many hours of use. The charger also has LED indicators on the top to let you know the charging status. When I saw the product in Amazon for $20 I ordered 2 more for about the same price as a single Sony battery.
I went asking for a replacement battery for my psp and they said they had 1 left but the package had been opened and it was used. I worked on getting this in without breaking the cover for almost an hour. No flicker or anything. I flip the switch and the battery wont even power the psp up. After an hour of charging it would not even flicker in my psp.I didn't buy it.I believed their story and went to another game store a month later and bought the only psp battery they carried, this one. I don't really believe that story anymore.
I believe most early adopters of the slim psp are savvy enough to know/check the difference. I really hate taking things back so I asked that they charge the battery in the store since it was already opened and I would come back in an hour. I first saw this product in a game store. Now here I am on amazon to get an official battery that will work.In summary, the battery does not fit into the psp unit on some of these due to poor design. Psp battery covers are already awkward without this oversize battery. I finally got it half on, enough to stay shut but was hard on the plastic. 2 out of 2 units I have tested of these do not hold a charge.
I went to put it in my psp but the battery will not fit. Supposedly the buyer didnt realize it would not work on a slim psp. I do have an official sony battery that powers up my system fine. I took this home and charged it 24 hours this time. It's curvy on the side that goes into the psp instead of flat which means it does move around and is too fat to get the cover on normally. This battery is crap. It's a great idea for a charger but just does not work.
I bought two of these recently because to use while traveling. The chargers won't charge and the batteries won't take a charge. I guess I'll have to contact Intec to see if they can send me a couple that work.
Well, neither charger will charge any of the batteries (the original Sony that came with the PSP or the two Intec batteries). Bottom line - don't buy this. Great idea - for less than the price of an official Sony battery, you get a higher-capacity battery and a charger that can be used in a car, at home, or with a USB port.
if there *are* any. the batteries don't fit so well in the PSP, but that's okay because even if you can force the battery lid closed, they won't charge in the PSP, either. Unfortunately, I threw out the packaging a couple of weeks ago, so I can't return them to Amazon.
I'd have given it a "0" star rating if I could. Useless.
I travel a lot and really was looking forward to using this product overseas and to prepare for those long flights. The regular PSP battery did not fit in teh charger or charge properly3) the USB cable did not make good connection and would only work part of the time. It sounded like a great idea, multiple ways to charge, spare hi-capacity battery, USB charger. Unfortunately, this device failed in all regards.1) the battery would not stay charged more than 1 hour, even if it was charged in the PSP.2) the battery did not fit in the charger, it would only charge when placed in a certain way. Other USB cables will had connection issuesIt really had potential, but it failed to live up to is claims. Keep looking and avoid this item.
