Wow Man! The effort you put into this whole video, the editing, the research, the money.... seriously no words to thank you, this is a video I didn't know I needed to see as a psp enthusiast. I've dabbled in a lot of fake original batteries and just made my peace with getting 1-2 hrs battery life with sudden shutdowns. now i see that is not the case, the ostent's sounds so amazing, 5 hrs with the psp 3k seemed unimaginable in this era. Thank you again for doing all this and keeping us updated and informed. I can see these videos take a toll on you because you do them with perfection and that takes a lot of time, effort and money... just gonna say that we the psp community really do appreciate it!
U gave me a addiction I have 6 psps rn and 2 more arrive tomorrow so 8 total ig. I’m fully modding all of them with all the mods you've showed and I’m gonna try installing an ips screen mod and clear faceplate on a 1000 tomorrow. I already set the glass lens to cure in the faceplate so hopefully everything goes smoothly tomorrow. These videos hella entertaining
Can you believe bro that just these days I'm starting to get these consoles for collection?… And your video fits me perfectly. 🤩 I know there probably aren't many of us, but a video of you showing how to replace the batteries on the street version would be great. 😃
I plan to have a disassembly + reassembly series of videos but I need to get through the bulk of Project Smokey series of mods first xd Its not hard to remove, its just annoying, there should be plenty of videos but i got non right now for that : |
I just recently got into PSP modding and your LCD IPS upgrade video helped me so much when I tried installing one myself. Thank you so much for everything you do!
thanx a lot for the comparison! i found the cellonic batterys ( in europe) to be okay so far, even though they re slightly larger then the orignals ( psp 1000). (tight fit)
i had thought im so lucky to have my almost 20 years old original 1000 battery still holding for 4 hours as i thought chinese batteries are garbage until i watched your video. thank you man, now i know that there is still something that will be even a better replacement of my battery and i dont have to worry about saving it
Awesome video, I tried a similar test myself but could only get through 3 batteries before I gave up. Glad to see the OSTENT I picked up is good quality, mine has been running strong
Thank you, I'm just hoping that it gets the views it deserves, the power efficiency info is something I'm answering for the first time on the internet.
Great video! It took me until just now to say "yeah I'm interested, I'll watch it" instead of passing it over; that does tend to happen where you're just not quite interested in a specific video you're seeing quite yet (even if the subject matter does generally interest you) and then you're in the mood later. I love the extremely comprehensive, almost obsessive videos that get way into the nitty-gritty details of everything; I'm all for that stuff. Love having this big database of battery information here. I definitely will want to look into the PSP-1000 size battery + an expanded battery cover fitting the 3000. Also good to see those external PSP battery chargers -- it absolutely sucks to use the original charger on my PSP because it doesn't work half the time (bad connector on the charger itself) and nothing uses the mini-USB on top of the PSP anymore. Charging with USB Mode is slow, but at the same time I don't want to use the OEM AC adapter because A: mine is bad, and B: we've really moved on from proprietary charging at this point as a society. It appears since I bought my PSP-3000 new in box really late, like in 2012-2014 or so, I have the exact same TA-095v2 as you (but Piano Black), and I've never really been disappointed in the battery life of mine with the stock battery. The relative newness of my battery and it being the most power-efficient PSP-3000 model is probably why. Plus if I'm not going to use it for a while, I try to charge to a bit over 80% before storing it outside of the console, which is usually what's recommended for storage and it doesn't tend to be dead when I next intend to use my PSP.
I feel you with that first one lol I got a solderless type-c mod that shows you how to get a perfect cut out, and can be adapted for a soldered method.
Man, I've been waiting for this video since you put the survey on the channel, I felt bad about the batteries sacrificed for the investigation especially because in my country they are difficult to get (some cannot be shipped or the shipping costs are too high). I loved the video, excellent work
Bro, you are doing gods work here by testing all these batteries! Just bought two Ostents right after watching this, one for my 1000 and another for my 3000. They will be replacing my old original Sony batteries which, due to age alone, have constantly made me nervous of the inevitable day they would get "spicy" as you call it lol. I don't want any batteries expanding or exploding inside my PSP's. Any other PSP I get from here on out will be equipped with a Ostent.
Thanks a lot for your work. Was thinking about re-celling my original PSP phat battery. I will just buy an Ostent then (along with an the mat IPS screen you recommended in your other video). Suscribed!
Insane amount of work went into making this video, I can tell. Man, I've been buying onsent as it just felt better/more consistent than CameronSino and here now I have the data to back it up.
And upon your recommendation, I purchased a battery using your link. You deserve much more than whatever kickback they give you after all this work you put into the video.
It's cool to know that the new screens are actually more power efficient, despite the common misconception in the community. Makes the choice of switching over a no-brainer. Now we wait for the new panels for the 2000 and 3000 models (and maybe the GO, but I think it has the perfect screen as it is).
I agree, the GO is probably as good as its ever going to get, and the screen form factor makes it harder to develop a custom screen for. One day man, we can just hope to get an OLED for n a slim, that will be something
This is what I've been waiting for :D I have a similar experience, but I tested the batteries differently. First I discharged to the end, then while charging I read the current drawn, taking into account charging losses/efficiency. Scam of course I returned, especially since I order a minimum of 10 each :)
Im so interested in this psp series now. i have a psp 1000 and a broken psp 3000 and now im just waiting to see if there will be an ips upgrade for the 3000 model then ill try to fix it up. these vids are awesome
There are 3000 display replacements that I have found to work better than the originals, better brightness and color, no yellowing since its new, and I found the interlacing to be minimal, but they are pretty fragile : |
Here are 2 links, again remember these can be fragile and sometimes can be defective Preferred Option 1: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DBlRMZN Secondary Option 2: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DC8wG7Z
So glad I stumbled across this video, now I can get some actually good batteries. Also in the future, if a battery gets punctured and catches on fire/explodes, you want a bucket or pot of sand, its the best and safest way to contain a small battery fire.
Loved the video, thanks for compiling that crazy amount of data. I wonder what the effective difference between battery boards is, if one is more efficient or accurate over the others
Thank you so much for such thorough research! This topic was never getting enough coverage. Now I wonder when/if the situation with the Vita batteries is going to change and how it's going to look like when it will, as now the only third-party batteries available seem to be simply relabeled OEM Vita batteries. Edit: Ahh, third-party PSP Go batteries is still a mystery...
Holy Crap you are doing amazing work here. I got a reasonably good battery off Amazon that seemed to have good reviews about a year ago, however it is now out of stock and not sold anywhere I can find anymore. The one thing I wish is someone would clone the PCB of the OG batteries as the other issue that's annoying when tinkering with the PSP is you cannot charge any of the replacement batteries over USB.
Im pretty sure you can charge third party using the mini usb, do you have the feature enabled? Perhaps its time for a solderless type-c port: th-cam.com/video/XVT2RHyB1Do/w-d-xo.html
@@TotalKommando With the 3rd party batteries, they all "look" like they are charging, but if you go a while you can see the battery never increases in charge. If there is one that does work normally with it that would be a nice perk of the find. Though I agree swapping the Mini USB for Type-C would be a nice upgrade.
Thanks for the amazing and time consuming tests. About the Cameron Sino batteries. Apprently there are some bootlegs on the market according to many internet on the internet which could be the reason why one battery outperformed the other ones. Where did you buy yours from?
Great video!! I'm gonna buy the ostent batteries for my 1000 and 2000 models. I have the original ones for both of them but i'm going to maintain the 1000 model as long as i can just for use for unbricking tools. I've only done tests using the 1000 model battery on the 2000 model before and it was a great difference in time. Another thing i noticed is that probably the pcb on the original ones has the components used for the pandora battery. I can be wrong for lots of reasons because there are pandora kits available and i don't think that they are all made from original battery pcb's.
I used to have one of those fancy Pandoras with a button and LED battery indicator, too bad I no longer have it. Its been a long time, cant recall what they used inside, but it was definitely a custom pcb
Thanks for shoveling all that manure. Seriously finding good PSP batteries has been a straight up nightmare at times. Do you have any GBA SP and or DS systems? The battery selection is massive and finding a solid quality choice is again a bit wibbly wobbly to put it mildly.
Those HSBAT ones + 2 of the generic fake 3.6v ones i spent $100 on, total waste of money, but it had to be done lol I do have at least 1 of every DS variant. The batteries on those are insane, they can be left uncharged for years and power on like its nothing. Once im done with the PSP stuff I can start diving into other consoles.
@@TotalKommando yep Great batteries on Ds and gba sp. After close to 20 years I had a sp battery stop charging. Of course swollen. My spare battery is working but is over 15 years old so I have started hunting and it is a bit overwhelming.
@@brianwalker7771 I think the last time I had a spicy boi, I somehow managed to order an original used one which has been holding up very well like literally every other ds I have, charge once and can power on with plenty of juice a year later of just sitting
I hear you polar opposite of the PSP batteries. Sit for a year and still power up vs drained in under a week. I don't know what sorcery Nintendo used but one battery croaking on me in a 20 year period is amazing.
@@brianwalker7771 Here is whats surprising, the Vitas share similar powers. One time I left my vita in storage, thought I had shut it down, also about a year later, i came to long press power on and notice it turned out, and it resumed me back into what ever game was running LOL
Many thanks for the depth!!! I got a 2200mAh Ostent for the PSP 1000, but the cover is noticeably sticking out, is there a fix for this or aftermarket extended cover, I see they are more common for the 2000/3000. I am trying to avoid forcefully closing the cover to prevent damage. Cheers mate!!
The battery can be pushed in a bit further with a hard press to the top of the connector,, just a bit of a force to squeeze it in further to clear those few millimeters. Let me know how it goes : ) After a few times they should just sit in without having to do any extra extra force
@@TotalKommandoThat actually worked!! thanks! the door closed clean, it is slightly lifted but it’s not a bother. Out of interest does the 1800mAh Ostent battery a tad thinner and a more natural fit; and do you rate it highly? there are a lot of Amazon reviewers complaining about the battery door but I’d have though it’s the better fit, Cheers
@@mentes1679 Its most likely because its the latest revision of 95v2 you can check what you have using a homebrew app called pspident, I will be testing this more with other 95v2 units for the next battery video to confirm
24:36 Could you find the largest cell phone battery that can fit across the UMD disc + battery compartment and make a mod out of it. There's some on youtube but no guide/commentary or reviews on them.
I wouldn't waste my time with those if I were you. Extra Bulk, cable coming out from the bottom, and inefficient, because its converting the power from 3.7v to 5v and then the psp from 5v back to 3.7v so that 2400 wont anywhere close to the original capacity after all that power loss, best to put that money into another standard ostent battery, Its basically a mini powerbank packpack for your psp
Yea really wanna do it, hoping for a new revision. But recently I read he took a pause so cant buy it at this time. Will get into it once I'm done with the current series of videos.
Hi, i wanted to talk about my ostent battery. Like 2 weeks ago i have a psp 3010 that blocks the battery. Before that the battery works just fine in my 2000 model, but when i plug the battery it doesn’t work anymore. The seller say me that is "blocked" they send me another one for free, but i dont know if i can rescue that battery. Tanks for reading me 😊😊
the 2.200 mAh Ostent is unfortunately too big for the psp 2000 and 3000 models. That's why I get the 1.400 mAh for my 3000 model but it's still pretty good
Hey dude, I have a modded PSP3000. The mod consists of a custom battery which deletes the UMD drive. I can help you run some numbers if you are interested. I rock a 2900mah Samsung cell with an original Sony PCB.
Sadly have not tested any for that or the go, those deserve their own videos since the batteries are very different. If I was to bet on a decent / good one, its either one of the following from a quick look: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DD5bpax s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DBYTmCb s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DkrQlgR www.aliexpress.com/item/3256805662189887.html It's the same battery for the "Pulse Wireless Headset 7.1"
@@TotalKommando thanks but i never buy stuff from aliexpress temu and similar chinashops... maybe i try modding my psp ...i dont like modding hardware but the battery is too weak for me on my psp street
@@TotalKommando i did ran a customer service and repurchase the same thing, I tried to ask if they could hand me a new batch instead of something dead. I think my new one is coming directly from China
Had my psp 1000 run GB (original) on lowest brightness with the ostent 2200 mah battery, psp clocked at 120 mhz. It was just a test for myself to see what is possible. The run time was pretty much axactly 13 hours. I had sound turned off, wifi module off i played abit during the test maybe about 1-2 hours total. The display was always turned on. Originaly i thought id be lucky to make 8 hours.
@@andtpfack8243 O then 100% use that, I wish i still had my first led moded silver PSP 2000, sadly sold it because I was a broke highschool kid, and still regret selling it to this day lol
The market is flooded with retro gaming hand helds. Did you know a modded PSP back in 2007 was already doing a lot of the things that the Anbernics and Pow Kiddy do today.
Every week I get a comment like "bro just get a $50 SBC, you can play the psp and more, its so much better" Its just not the same, and they can barely run half of the titles smoothly. lol
How so, like does it slip when its bumped?, place a piece of paper or 2 under it on the bottom right side and it should clip in tightly, if it doesnt sit all the way, it will need some force (thats if you got the slim EBL for the slim models)
@@pocketreviewgaming If you got a photo, share it on discord, i think its not clipped in all the way, its sometimes super stiff and looks and feels like its all the way in but its not, give it an extra hard push at the top to seat it in more
i really hate distracting expressive hands in videos 0:52 when you just point over and over and over and over and over again at the screen to emphasize nothing. I couldn't make it much further than this. i at least thank you for giving the information up front so i wouldnt have to suffer through your magician practice or whatever is happening
Post Notes:
- All 6 of my Cameron Sino batteries were purchased off Amazon US from the same seller
- OSTENT out of the box will have an extremely tight fit, just make sure its lined up, and give it a good hard press to pop them in
- 20:47 is where you will find the answer to something no one thought to ask, and it's massive discovery that deserves a bit more research!
- I didn't talk about pricing as most of these hover around the same price
- BMS Images will be edited & uploaded once I get some sleep.
- According to one other person's 1800 Cameron Sino, the "Good" black PCB one might be the one advertised for the phat models only
- End Screen Fail

excellent video bro. i know youre a PSP guy, but id love to see the same again for Vita.
Once I am done with the bulk of PSP projects, right after that are going to be the vitas!
@@TotalKommando no way!!!? Doing the lord's work! 💪💪💪
Thanks for the amazing and time consuming tests. About the Cameron Sino batteries. Apprently there are some bootlegs on the market according to many internet on the internet which could be the reason why one battery outperformed the other ones. Where did you buy yours from?
All 3 x 2 batches of Cameron Sinos came from the same Amazon US seller, perhaps the seller doesnt know?
Thanks for doing God's work
Great video!! I'm gonna buy the ostent batteries for my 1000 and 2000 models. I have the original ones for both of them but i'm going to maintain the 1000 model as long as i can just for use for unbricking tools.
I've only done tests using the 1000 model battery on the 2000 model before and it was a great difference in time.
Another thing i noticed is that probably the pcb on the original ones has the components used for the pandora battery. I can be wrong for lots of reasons because there are pandora kits available and i don't think that they are all made from original battery pcb's.
I used to have one of those fancy Pandoras with a button and LED battery indicator, too bad I no longer have it. Its been a long time, cant recall what they used inside, but it was definitely a custom pcb
Your an absolute legend, can u do a video for the Nintendo 3ds?
Thank you, once Im done with the PSP stuff I intend to explore other consoles, I do have one of each ds model
@@TotalKommando If u do the test for the most popular version: New 3DS XL i would be so happy
@@3DsRenew I got one of those : )
Thanks for shoveling all that manure. Seriously finding good PSP batteries has been a straight up nightmare at times. Do you have any GBA SP and or DS systems? The battery selection is massive and finding a solid quality choice is again a bit wibbly wobbly to put it mildly.
Those HSBAT ones + 2 of the generic fake 3.6v ones i spent $100 on, total waste of money, but it had to be done lol
I do have at least 1 of every DS variant. The batteries on those are insane, they can be left uncharged for years and power on like its nothing.
Once im done with the PSP stuff I can start diving into other consoles.
@@TotalKommando yep Great batteries on Ds and gba sp. After close to 20 years I had a sp battery stop charging. Of course swollen. My spare battery is working but is over 15 years old so I have started hunting and it is a bit overwhelming.
@@brianwalker7771 I think the last time I had a spicy boi, I somehow managed to order an original used one which has been holding up very well like literally every other ds I have, charge once and can power on with plenty of juice a year later of just sitting
I hear you polar opposite of the PSP batteries. Sit for a year and still power up vs drained in under a week. I don't know what sorcery Nintendo used but one battery croaking on me in a 20 year period is amazing.
@@brianwalker7771 Here is whats surprising, the Vitas share similar powers. One time I left my vita in storage, thought I had shut it down, also about a year later, i came to long press power on and notice it turned out, and it resumed me back into what ever game was running LOL
Many thanks for the depth!!! I got a 2200mAh Ostent for the PSP 1000, but the cover is noticeably sticking out, is there a fix for this or aftermarket extended cover, I see they are more common for the 2000/3000. I am trying to avoid forcefully closing the cover to prevent damage. Cheers mate!!
The battery can be pushed in a bit further with a hard press to the top of the connector,, just a bit of a force to squeeze it in further to clear those few millimeters.
Let me know how it goes : )
After a few times they should just sit in without having to do any extra extra force
@@TotalKommandoThat actually worked!! thanks! the door closed clean, it is slightly lifted but it’s not a bother. Out of interest does the 1800mAh Ostent battery a tad thinner and a more natural fit; and do you rate it highly? there are a lot of Amazon reviewers complaining about the battery door but I’d have though it’s the better fit, Cheers
From what i know their smaller capacity batteries are not great and to be avoided
Nice Video
I appreciate your hard work and efforts. Thank you very much where can I buy the ostent one?
Thank you, links are in the description
@@TotalKommando thanks and why is the red psp 3000 so powerful?
@@mentes1679 Its most likely because its the latest revision of 95v2 you can check what you have using a homebrew app called pspident, I will be testing this more with other 95v2 units for the next battery video to confirm

Could you find the largest cell phone battery that can fit across the UMD disc + battery compartment and make a mod out of it. There's some on youtube but no guide/commentary or reviews on them.
That's the plan but I also intend on figuring out an easy hot swap method
Thank you sir
It would be interesting to see the black PCB with the Ostent cell, as they seem to be the better components of the bunch
Same
Looking up Ostents just in case I need a new battery.
I have a question, where can I get the battery cover for a model 3000? It is to be able to use the 2200 model of Ostent batteries.
You can find them on AliExpress
www.aliexpress.com/item/2251832648160402.html
Ah yes, the radiant red psp
Now the only thing that i want to see is the original psp battery pcb on the Ostent 2200 mah. This Would get more efficiently?
I left that for the Custom Battery Mod Video : )
Will be doing exactly that as a baseline, using the ostent with different BMS PCBs
@@TotalKommando Dude that will be perfect!
What do you think about ostent external battery pack
I wouldn't waste my time with those if I were you.
Extra Bulk, cable coming out from the bottom, and inefficient, because its converting the power from 3.7v to 5v and then the psp from 5v back to 3.7v so that 2400 wont anywhere close to the original capacity after all that power loss, best to put that money into another standard ostent battery, Its basically a mini powerbank packpack for your psp
You should do a video on the pspi 👀
Yea really wanna do it, hoping for a new revision. But recently I read he took a pause so cant buy it at this time.
Will get into it once I'm done with the current series of videos.
Hi, i wanted to talk about my ostent battery. Like 2 weeks ago i have a psp 3010 that blocks the battery. Before that the battery works just fine in my 2000 model, but when i plug the battery it doesn’t work anymore. The seller say me that is "blocked" they send me another one for free, but i dont know if i can rescue that battery. Tanks for reading me 😊😊
Never heard of "Blocked" maybe join the discord and we could possibly figure out whats going on. I think it may have faulty contact pins lol
I got a psp off eBay last week and the battery sucked bad but I ordered a Cameron sino and it’s alright
the 2.200 mAh Ostent is unfortunately too big for the psp 2000 and 3000 models. That's why I get the 1.400 mAh for my 3000 model but it's still pretty good
Not if you install / use a monster hunter 3000 shell : )
or with an extended battery door
I don’t see the psp rechargeable battery pack in the description?
Do you mean the charging dock? If so, I have just added those, sorry mid night upload.
Hey dude, I have a modded PSP3000. The mod consists of a custom battery which deletes the UMD drive. I can help you run some numbers if you are interested. I rock a 2900mah Samsung cell with an original Sony PCB.
I would love to collect some data, if you would like, find me on discord and share your work : )
Which one can i use for my psp street?
Sadly have not tested any for that or the go, those deserve their own videos since the batteries are very different.
If I was to bet on a decent / good one, its either one of the following from a quick look:

It's the same battery for the "Pulse Wireless Headset 7.1"
@@TotalKommando thanks but i never buy stuff from aliexpress temu and similar chinashops...
maybe i try modding my psp ...i dont like modding hardware but the battery is too weak for me on my psp street
bought an onstent few days ago, I think the one I received was a dud. it charges and drains on use then tonight it gave up on me
I would contact the seller, or ostent, i heard they have good support and could send you a new one
@@TotalKommando i did ran a customer service and repurchase the same thing, I tried to ask if they could hand me a new batch instead of something dead. I think my new one is coming directly from China
@@ryanrock07 Good luck on the new one
Had my psp 1000 run GB (original) on lowest brightness with the ostent 2200 mah battery, psp clocked at 120 mhz.
It was just a test for myself to see what is possible.
The run time was pretty much axactly 13 hours.
I had sound turned off, wifi module off i played abit during the test maybe about 1-2 hours total. The display was always turned on.
Originaly i thought id be lucky to make 8 hours.
You could probably hit 20+ hours if you did that on my radiant red 3000 with 95v2 mobo
@@TotalKommando have a 2000 laying around but the 1000 just feels better, maybe its sentimental value because it was the one i originally got in 2005.
@@andtpfack8243 O then 100% use that, I wish i still had my first led moded silver PSP 2000, sadly sold it because I was a broke highschool kid, and still regret selling it to this day lol
The discord link isn’t working for me
I just checked, it does work, you may need to try a different browser or copy it into discord manually
The market is flooded with retro gaming hand helds. Did you know a modded PSP back in 2007 was already doing a lot of the things that the Anbernics and Pow Kiddy do today.
Every week I get a comment like "bro just get a $50 SBC, you can play the psp and more, its so much better"
Its just not the same, and they can barely run half of the titles smoothly. lol
ostent 1400 mah are best for the slim psps
Ostent battery with black pcb 👀
🤯
Can we have a test for ps vita battery's?
Once Im done with the majority of the PSP stuff I will : )
@TotalKommando thats perfect. My PS Vita has 98% battery health according to PSVident, but it's always nice to have a spare :)
@@Patronciozo 100% eventually all these batteries will fail, so gotta be ready for when that time comes
@@TotalKommando also I'm sorry for the archaic English, not my first language, still learning
@@Patronciozo have not noticed any problems even after you mentioning, you got nothing to worry about fam, it will only get better
Ebl usally doesn’t fit correctly in a psp
How so, like does it slip when its bumped?, place a piece of paper or 2 under it on the bottom right side and it should clip in tightly, if it doesnt sit all the way, it will need some force (thats if you got the slim EBL for the slim models)
@@TotalKommandoyea works but battery cover didn’t sit flush I just use Sony branded 1200 now.
@@pocketreviewgaming If you got a photo, share it on discord, i think its not clipped in all the way, its sometimes super stiff and looks and feels like its all the way in but its not, give it an extra hard push at the top to seat it in more
@@TotalKommandothanks
what are the very first words that you say in this video?
i really hate distracting expressive hands in videos 0:52 when you just point over and over and over and over and over again at the screen to emphasize nothing. I couldn't make it much further than this. i at least thank you for giving the information up front so i wouldnt have to suffer through your magician practice or whatever is happening
