This item has an MSRP of $59.99 - you can find it cheaper from another retailer. That said, it is very comfortable to hold and the extra battery life is perfect for long trips. This will take up the screw holes at the top, so many flip-down screen covers won't work.

It's been 6 hours since I started playing games/watching movies non-stop with this battery fully charged to test the package's claim (I deliberately drained the psp's battery just to test how long it can hold a charge). The upside is that it's still working... the downside is you don't have an idea how much more juice is remaining. The package says approximately 8.5 hours... let's see how true.

The way this works, just like other external batteries, is that when it's connected, the PSP treats it as if the AC was plugged in. So technically, it's "charging". Which explains why there's no way to know how much juice is left. But with it fully charged, plus the standard battery... that amounts to a lot of hours. I expect that when this runs out of power, the other battery will have been charged.

Most of you might find this a hefty addition to the first generation PSP. Yep. This one is NOT for the slim. It adds about a half-inch more to the phat-ness... and a bit more weight, too. But for me, it makes the unit feel more solid. And my hands don't have to strain to grip the console properly. I think gamers with big hands will appreciate this.

However, the bulk it adds to the console will demerit its pocketable nature. You'll have to put it back in a bag--although it does come with a spiffy zipper case--because I don't think walking around with this in your hand/pocket is a good idea. The built-in stand is useful, though. I think this was designed primarily for video/music buffs.

4 stars... because of the weight. It doesn't bother me that much because, like I said, it makes the PSP feel more solid. I'm impressed by its performance... and the seller was quick to ship it. But remember, PSP Phat only.

Buen producto lo unico es que cometi un error al comprarlo ya que este producto sirve unicamente al psp viejo el Piano vertion y yo tengo el slim = (, pero cumple su trabajo a fin de cuentas.

this is a very good battery pack for psp, it works great and lasts a long time. i get about 15 hrs of playtime with the normal psp battery plus the battery pack. plus im a big guy, so with the pack on it fits my big hands perfectly. i would recommend this pack and would buy it again if i needed to. thanks again for this great product.

If you want to be able to use your psp for more than the regular 4/5 hour time period that the internal battery provides, then buy this. Yes, this battery adds some weight and size to the end of the console, but it adds A LOT of battery time (i'm not sure how much to be exact, but it adds at least 4 hours of battery time, probably closer to 8). The psp is still comfortable with the battery pack on (personally I like it a little bit better without it, but it's not a big enough deal for me to take it off--I like having a good battery). Long story short: if you have a psp phat (I'm pretty sure that this doesn't fit with the slim/3000 psp, but I do not have a slim so I cannot say for sure) and want more battery life get this. There really is no other choice, and the tank delivers. 'Nuff said.

Great battery for PSP. I cant say exactly how long this thing last. But it should be over 4 hours... maybe even around eight hours. I dont play for long stretches so I cant say, but if I add all the hours together it would be close to eight hours before the this battery stop charging. You have to turn off the battery when you turn off your PSP, or the battery loses juice. Just remember turn off both when not playing, then you can get 8+4 or roughly 12 hours of game time.

This thing add weight and dimension to the PSP. It works great with a FAT PSP. I bought the fat PSP along with this thing so I did not get use to the weight of the PSP alone. Without this battery, even the fat PSP seems so flimsy in my hands.

This battery charges the PSP without the need of additional wire, so it is like one with the PSP when attach. It can get hot at the area where the UMD spin, but so far I havent had any problem yet.

The stand in the back work, but I have never had the chance to use it. Because the screen on the PSP is already small, by placing on a desk or any surface that make the PSP farther from your eyes, any benefit of that stand is negate by the even more tiny screen.

I purchased this for my new PSP, as I fly overseas often, and wanted the longer battery life. However, this does not fit my PSP. It seems to be for another, larger model (maybe an earlier version of the PSP?). The unit does not sit properly in the cradle, so the contact does not touch. So the battery power is not accessible. In short, it's useless. Buy something else.
