Pros: Does what exactly what description says.
The battery indicator/pandora switch is nicely done. 
The item looks to be nice quality.
 
Cons: One of the tabs that hold it in place the battery compartment did not fit in my psp-1002 (phat) so I had to cut it shorter.
Felt sad to have to put a mark on what is a really nicely made item.
Other than this slight issue it was perfect.
 
Other Thoughts: Press the button to check the battery life.
Hold the button until the lights flash to enable pandora mode.
Press button again to return to normal battery mode.
Could it be any simpler?
 
Bottomline: If you need a pandora battery, this is honestly one of the best that I have ever seen. It works great as a recovery battery and also a normal battery.

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.

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.
