PSP/Nokia Battery Hack Job *Updated*
greg | January 16, 2009
Update: A picture tutorial is now available here.
A quick story resulting in a quick hack job… LordLeXaT’s PSP battery broke, and with no money to buy a new one, he turned to his MacGyver box set to determine the best possible route… And the result:
What you see above is a standard Nokia battery (BL-5C) pack used with the original PSP battery control board. So now that all is said and done, LordLeXaT has a longer lasting battery than most of you, or so he says…
“The battery is lighter and has nearly 150% lifetime of the original 1800mAh PSP battery, and by the way, the text of the Nokia battery reads 1020mAh.”
We don’t have a tutorial for you, but for the most part, it seems straightforward. And please, exercise caution should you attempt this battery mod yourself.

lol nice one =)
as long as its 3.6 volts it doesnt matter
Hey Nice One
BTW PSPVC 3.42 is realeased
crushing a bug that made some people not convert as fast…
Crazyyy!
next week we’ll be reading the story of how his psp blew up cuz of it….lolz!!!!
lol
Interesting. Makes me wonder the different methods used to calculate mAh for batteries. Or if sourcing large amounts of current at a time changes this. Obviously it will vary by device, but that seems like a huge difference.
A shit load of people already did this…and i did that when my battery broke too…way before pandora batteries were made… not sure why this is news…
well maybe because a shit load of other people haven’t heard of it and what you did before wasn’t shared on the internet so…thats that
Nah it was on the net, there were alot of people somehow breaking their battery like cutting it open n it smelt weird n slowly quit holding charge and they replace it with random 3.6V batteries. Even AcidMods had a tut of using AAA batteries for it. Someone mentioned it and i did it, there was Tutorials. But yea the internet is huge and not everyone knows about everything…
I know i sound kinda negative but i dont mean it that way.
HURRR DURRR I MAEK PEE ESS PEE ESPLOSION CUZ MAI BATERIE SPLODED IN MAH PANTZ.
LOLOLOLOLOL
dude are you on steroids cause dats funny!
HAAHAHAH is there nothing the psp wont intake into its awesome compatible/moddable technology THANKU SONY AND MOST OF ALL HACKERS AND MODDERS
yeah thanks sony for letting us pirate your games f with your firmwares and new consoles BLEHeh
Isnt a battery like 5 quid?
wtf is a quid? foreign douchebag
A quid is a 1 pound sterling. You’re the douchebag.
AHAHAHAH
who the hell dont know what a quid is! go ask mummy
Wait….. Like from that movie with brendan frasier in Egypt?
A quid yankee doodle doo is like $1.5
Do u arseholes dislike all un americans n is it true u can marry ur sister over there??
I’m guessing ur american. only u people would be so self-involved that u dont know what a quid is. we all no what a “buck” is.
Forgive us for not recognizing the slang term for every form of foreign currency. I wonder if you could tell me oh, I dunno…Brazil’s currency and all of its local nicknames without the aid of Google?
But hey; why consider how trivial and unnecessary it is to educate yourself on foreign slang when you can just hop on the America bashing bandwagon?
Real
Nicknames: Pila.
lol, owned. Also there is a difference between asking for the currency of a second world country and a first world country that is more “well known” (for want of a better word)
Quid is like saying “buck” instead of dollar for Pounds
If there’s nobody write ‘news’ for it. I think this is still considered as ‘news’?
So I think tis is just to replace the original battery pack with the nokia one only?
Facts:
* Pandora still works
* if you want to use the nokia battery
you have to remove the plastic head
of the nokia battery

I was hoping this was a mod for the TA-088 User’s who are stuck with that dreaded board on their Slims :(
heh, Maybe Next week, Interesting mod. Sounds like something I might try
Thanks LordLeXat.
Duuuhhhh…
Considering he’s using the same control board, that’s a pretty stupid assumption.
He probably made that assumption upon seeing the headline in an RSS feed, before reading the article.
strange how a lower rated cell phone battery out last a normal psp battery. but i wont be surprised if it does explode. the little cell battery is made for that kind of power draw. and they can be quite explosive if not used as intended.
It would damage the psp if something went wrong, but i doubt i would “explode”
Possible that the battery in a Nokia is a Lithium Ion Polymer battery. (They are used in some models) Which even a lower rated battery can outlast a standard Lithium Ion battery of the same rating.
(Higher energy density)
I Use it since 2 month
I wanted to test it first and wait if everything works.
after which I was sure I chose to PSP Hacks sent.
I also use it 1 years already. Im still waiting for it to explode. No luck so far.
this is olds news. i did this witha moto razr battery a year ago.
I did it with a car battery outside the store during the psp launch! What foo?!
Who cares…
Hmmm… dam not my day i was expecting one of the “I’ve done this before” people say “I’ve done this with a car battery.”
hahaha.
That is what it would be like a microsoft made a handheld console :P
hope a modified battery a pandora compatible to a psp 3000 will come in to life =) haha! maybe with that it will be possible now to hack a 3000….
everybody will be happy! =)
nop.
not going to happen. you sound like your on meth kid, take it easy. The pandora will come when it is good and ready… keep it in your pants until then
huh, gotta make that too, i have one spare nokia batt laying smwhr
you can use any battery giving out 3.6v, it’s just a power source…nothing new there.
Go here and sign up, earn points and buy shit, this helps people who can’t afford to buy game stuff. My brother showed me this shit and i didnt believe him then he got a game in the mail. http://www.prizerebel.com/index.php?r=895045
Actually I found that this works almost 2 years ago, and have seen this tutorial many places, although it seems that modders are not the only ones that are using this. I happened across a couple of batteries bought from eBay that are in fact Nokia batteries, if not some of brand batteries, enclosed in different generic PSP casings. The same Nokia battery I have even found inside an old iPod Mini. Of course I don’t know what the difference really is, but I love guys with ingenious ideas like this. If LordLeXat is doing shit like this then it just means that he is helping the community.
waaaaaa!!! I tried this mod and now my PSP won’t work!!! What can i do???
FAIL
(yes, I know, very unhelpful)
I’ll make a tutorial soon.
Excellent this battery can delterate psp capacity and run as a uqular part of ram therefore making daedalus run faster check my blog for the update
guess you never herd of thermal runaway. it can happen in li-ions if misused or defective. and pulling more power then it is made for = more heat get them to hot and they catch fire weather you are still drawing power or not. there was a wave of defective ones lately in laptop battery’s. due to just using cheap parts. so if you wanna see what happens take a look on youtube for laptop fires.
That’s not an example of thermal runaway and that wouldn’t happen in this case anyway; the battery isn’t pulling more power than normal. Mah is a measure of capacity, not an amount of power.
does this battery mod require a soldering kit? thx :)
Hey if u wanna overclock ur psp u can use a rechargeable 9v battery instead
Do u think it’s posible to parallel 3-4 more Nokia Battery in our UMD slot? if can…it would be monstrous…..
And if you put a Radio Shack battery pack in it you could make your PSP into a RC car.
Damn I got such a fucking kick out of reading all the comments here.
“wtf is a quid? foreign douchebag”
but the battery hack is news to me, not that i didnt know it could be done but its nice to see it has been and worked, however if the psp battery is lithium ion and you replace is with a lithium polymer battery you are usingg the wrong charger…..
lipo batteries are very dangerous when miscarged. look up lipo fires on youtube.
I personally dont know what type of battery the psp uses but make sure you use a matching type cell battery so that it can properly charge. I also do not see how a battery made to power a cell phone will outlast the psp battery but oh well.
how the F*#k did this work when the Nokia standard battery(BL-5C) is 3.7v BTW:i have one.and the psp only takes 3.6v it shoudn’t be possible did he perhaps use a different battery????
http://psp.lexat.net/index.php?cat=pro&page=batmod
The site is still under consruction
but i have addet my batterymod.
so did you just connect the nokia battery via soldering wires to yoru psp so that it can recharge or did you make a new psp battery from the nokia battery?
Придурки, чел прогрессирует, а вы лолы обсираетесь чёт сделать со своей PSP. Так что это не он Lol, а вы гондоны, которые обосрались повторить!…
плюсадин :)))
Thanks LordLeXat.
can this method use to PSP 2000?
i`m a lil confuse with the method….
LordLeXat, how many hr of standby & play hr you get with the modded battery?
Just found this item since my battery has slowly been loosin charge since i did the pandora mod on it found the old nokia fone out the desk draw and took about followin the tutorial pics and successfully implanted into the psp battery case and so far its charging which is more than the standard battery would do so i say its a success as a mod although i would prob recommend the BL-4C as its slightly shorter and easier to fit in the psp battery case
