Sony PSP-2000 Battery Re-cell: Sizing Issue

Battery replacement

Attempted to re-cell some Sony PSP-2000 batteries but the 1800mAh cells were too thick to fit the OEM cases. Back to the drawing board on cell sourcing.

Well shit... I figured I'd re-cell my #PSP batteries and... They work, the bad news is the cells I ordered are too thick. 😅 Maybe because they are 1800mAh, instead of being 1200mAh like the OEM case says. Although my bulging one had 600mAh printed on. #RETROGAMING #PlayStation
