Ownership verified by DX Does the Job
Posted by EvilMatt on 7/22/2009
Involvement: General (knows how to use it) - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

Price: starstarstarstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstarstar
Build Quality: starstarstarstarstar
Usefulness: starstarstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstarstar

Pros: Fits in Slim PSP.
Looks good.
Can use it as a normal battery as well.
Simple to use.
LED readout it a good idea.
Same size as genuine slim PSP battery

Cons: Not 1200mah or the estimated runtime on my PSP isn't reading properly.
Engrish instructions on back.

Other Thoughts: For what it is and does, this is great. You can use it as both normal battery and Pandora so you'll probably always have it with you charged instead of leaving it in a drawer somewhere. The instructions on the rear of the battery might have well been in Chinese/Taiwanese/Japanese, they make very little sense. When charged to 100% it showed in my PSP as having about 2hrs 30mins, a genuine PSP battery with 50% power shows a longer runtime than that but maybe it isn't reading it properly.

Bottomline: Good deal for a Pandora that you can use as a backup battery, decent quality.

Overall Rating: starstarstarstarstar

Pros: Works for un-bricking PSP.
Works as a normal battery.
Power meter.
Can't get a better price anywhere.
Free Shipping.

Cons: Battery life is not as good as the original PSP battery.
Stange fluctuations in repoted power in System settins > Battery information.
No packaging. Doesn't matter though.

Other Thoughts: When I ordered this I recieved the wrong item, some r/c helicopter part sku.15135. After some correspondance and negotiantion with DX staff I got the correct item sent and I got to keep the other thing.

Bottomline: This is a bargin. If you have a PSP you should get this.

Pros: Works great as both Pandora battery and regular battery. Used it to flash my PSP without any problems. Very easy to use!

Cons: The only con is that i had to cut off a little bit of the battery to make it fit in my PSP(the old one). It's the part sticking out on the bottom of the battery to the left on the picture.

Other Thoughts: If you can't decide whether to buy the one without the "regular battery"-function and LED's or this one, i say go with this one! You won't be disappointed.

Bottomline: Very good product, does what it's made for. Much easier, cheaper(in case you f' up your battery) and less risky than making your own pandora battery.

Ownership verified by DX Works like a charm!!!

Pros: Works perfectly as a Pandora battery to put your PSP in service mode. I haven't really used it as a normal battery so I can't really comment on the battery life...but as a Pandora it works really well.

Cons: At first it might seem that it doesn't work...CAREFULLY make sure that you give the battery a little push in order for the contacts to actually connect. Other than this there is nothing wrong with this battery.

Other Thoughts: I am very happy with this purchase. I wish I had purchased it sooner. One small tip that I have for those of you making your own MMS...try to connect it directly to your computer via a card reader of some sort. I had a little trouble making my MMS through PSP USB...I used a card reader and it worked perfectly (SKU 5817 is a nice one).

Bottomline: Overall a handy little tool. Using this battery doesn't require any rocket science but make sure you do your research before attempting to use it. Make sure your MMS is made correctly or you will brick your PSP.
