Pandora Battery -

[Jrad44]

Hi, im having a little trouble with something about the pandora battery (not making the battery itself, i understand all the great tutorials on the site )

Ok, well the problem is i've been having a really hard time getting an official sony battery... so i turned to Ebay. Today the battery i purchased arrived in the post in full sony packaging, looks EXACTLY like a real one... yet the whole of the writing on the back of the packaging is in chineese/japaneese

The sellers description even said it was official and the date it was made says 2004, is this real? slightly worried by the fact it cost me £1 lol. I charged it up fully and it gives me full 5/6 hours or so battery life but i just can't tell at all if it's real, shall i go ahead and try to pandora it anyway or will it make my psp screw up if its a dodgy copy battery?

Any help would be really great thanks


Another idea i had was to simply use the battery that came with the psp to pandora and use this new one as it has full battery life as the original, as my normal game playing battery pack.

What I would say is, since the battery was manufactured in 2004, then it was manufactured in Japan, (reason for the Japanese writing on the back), because the PSP was first released in Japan. You would be better off using the original battery for the pandora, and the new one for gameplay. Good luck.

It will not harm your PSP but it just doesn't work if you used in-compatible battery, I did it before with ( non compatible battery ) that after I created all the files in memstick included custom ipl then when I install the memstick and the battery into other PSP it wasn't automaticly power on the other PSP as it suppose to. You don't have to have an extra battery to make Pandora, just use the one you have then convert it back to normal one after you finished downgrage/upgrade.
