I bought this right before an 8-hour trip. The way that this product works is that it acts as an external charger. When your using the PSP, there is a plug on the thustmaster that plugs into the A/C input on your PSP. So your PSP doesn't use its internal battery until the Thrustmaster battery is depleted. I watched movies on my memory stick for about 6.5 hours straight on the trip. When I arrived, my internal battery was still at 100% charge. I couldn't believe it.

I have a PSP 2001 and the thrustmaster is about the same thickness as the PSP itself, so its thicker when using the thrustmaster, but still very comfortable to hold. The other really cool thing that I like about this is that the Thrustmaster screws into the top of your PSP and then can rotate. So when you aren't using it, you can flip it around so that it covers and protects your screen. That was a very welcome and unexpected feature. I very highly recommend this product!

3.0 out of 5 stars Caution, Breakable, January 4, 2010

This extra battery pack/charger is definitely pretty handy espesially on long trips. However, Be very careful on the top piece that screws down onto the psp. I broke mine the first day I had it due to the weak plastic. Bah I'll make a new piece out of metal or something, but that about the only bad thing with this item.
Note: I have a FAT PSP 5.33CF, extended life battery, & now the thrustmaster & the lil bugger still hasn't needed a recharge after a week driving cross country for the holidays. woot woot.

The Thrustmaster T-X3 battery and grip is a great accessory for the PSP. It is comfortable to hold and is very versatile. Besides being a grip it is also a stand for viewing movies, a protective cover and extended battery
life. It mounts perfectly and fits nicely in the hands. I take quite a few airplane trips and to have extra battery life and stand capabilities is great.
Bravo and well done with this product !!
