Sony PSP-1000 Battery Rebuild: Fresh Cell Swap

June 9, 20231 thread~1 min readSuccessful repair
Battery replacement

Built a proper Sony PSP-1000 battery from an aftermarket case and a fresh cell. The cells included in aftermarket kits tend not to last, so swapping straight away makes sense.

Quick little project. Bought an aftermarket battery for PSP-1000, as I had one without a battery and I had the proper cell for it. Needed the case and controller board. Last battery like this I had become swollen within a year, so I have no issues tossing the included cell. #PSP
