best place to buy a high MaH battery?

thesexyone · 10-21-2009, 10:20 PM

I own a slim with a case that will fit the slim with a phat battery, but no bigger. i plan to hardmod the slim battery and i want a high-endurance batt to replace it. There seem to be many kinds, including fakes, so i wondered if any of you guys have any recommendations of places to buy, any batt in particular, or some to stay away from. I'd really appreciate it guys.

btw not interested in hybrids in external ones. It HAS to be either slim or phat sized.

Amazon.com: PSP Battery Kit: Sony PSP: Video Games

These are the old extended batteries, but are pricier.

Amazon.com: PSP-2000 Battery (1200 mAh): Sony PSP: Video Games

Here are your normal sized slim batteries. Pretty sure they're legit since they are sold by Amazon themselves, as are the above extended batteries.

I would definitely stay away from batteries on sites like eBay, and any official Sony looking batteries that say made in Japan or have Japanese on them. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that official Sony batteries are clearly labeled made in China (how ironic huh

)

If you are in the US I found that K-mart had a few authentic discontinued 2200 mAH Sony stamina batteries, that come with the silver and black battery covers, for the 1000 phat/ 2000 slim series for around $45. Other places to check would be Toys R Us, Target, Wal-Mart. For some reason Gamestops almost never have any psp batteries . Some of these stores you might be able to buy from online. If buying online I'd probably use Amazon myself as well if there was no other way. I wouldn't trust Ebay for something like this. I just bought one of the new unpandorable 2200mAh ones for 1000/ 2000/ 3000 psps from a Best Buy for about that same price as I didn't need another pandorable one. There are higher capacity batteries like 3600 mAh but aren't made by sony and might not fit/ work properly on the slim.
