I have my vita accounted for, but I haven't got my PSP in a known position. Surely I would have brought it with me when I moved out 6 years ago. I'm going to go look for it
can't find mine either but I know I brought it with me when I moved so it has to be in the closest where I put all the shit from my old place but never unpacked
I'm not joking, I always throw batteries in the river ever since I heard about them starting fires in the city dump and people getting sued over disposing of them incorrectly. Lithium comes from water anyway.
you deserved to be beaten severely, you have no place in a civilized society if you're going to poison the commons. You're the worst kind of lowlife Black person who disregards everyone around him.
>Lithium comes from water anyway.
What dumbfrick education did you have that gave you that numbskull idea? Lithium is it's own element. Water is famously composed of two elements, neither of which is lithium.
Do you think all liquids come from water? Have you been drinking gasoline and that's why you think this means anything relevant to what was said, let alone believing lithium isn't a metal?

hey numbskull, if you're not throwing your car batteries in the ocean, and your PSP batteries in the river, then wtf are the fish gonna eat? You're just gonna let them starve?
My ds is like 20 years old at this point and I've never had this issue. My 3ds is 12 years old and same.
This seems to be a much, much more common on the psp and vita
I opened up my 3DS XL, DS Lite and vanilla fat DS. The 3DS had bulged out a fair bit, and my fat DS was showing slight signs. DS Lite seemed fine. To my surprise, the fat DS battery was still holding a charge, and so it turned on without needing to plug in the charger.
I haven't used of my DS devices in quite some time, and don't exactly have a desire to play with them any time soon, so I'll chuck those batteries out as a precaution. Did the same with my PSP, its battery had started to visibly crack couple years ago.
Battery seems fine, but my CFW seems to have nuked itself? Maybe I'm forgetting something, but all I see are my legit games and then a whole lot of "Corrupted Data"

Battery looks all good. PSP really was one of the best pieces are hardware looking back at it. Portable music, videos, internet browsing, some good official games, easily emulated PS1 titles. All years before smartphones.
makes me miss cell phones with removable batteries
it was so piss easy to just pop out a dead battery and put in a freshly charged one instead of being attached to a charger or have to rely on power banks
the real concern is that this person writes like a graffiti artist. this person probably defaces public property for his 22 subscribers on musicdick.net or whatever the current hot shit for streaming music is
when I first heard about this a few years ago my battery was fine, but I checked again a few weeks ago and sure enough it had completely blown up like that. Holding my PSP again for the first time in years made me kind of want to play some psp... it's a comfy handheld for sure.
mine already popped 4 years ago. it didn't damage white Darth Vader special battlefront 2 psp though thank God. you can still buy the batteries on Amazon
I stole a psp from Walmart back in the day. Had no idea you could even access the battery. Wonder what ever happened to it? I remember one day returning home after moving out I turned it on and realized new porn was downloaded on it by my brother, even had a hentai video. I was proud of him in a weird way because he was always the more normie sports guy of the two of us.
Mine hasn't bubbled, and the battery life seems fine when playing it, but it doesn't hold a charge when stored well at all. No other device of mine loses charge as fast as this does when not being used.
the people that run society dont seem fit to figure this out, which is why you shouldnt lose sleep either
ideally, theres a place to take them
but in my area they literally charge money to accept them, so i threw mine away
frick em
i think just put the battery by itself in another container and put it somewhere away from flammable shit. and/or try to find a local recycling place that handles them
>unironically what do I with it?
Slice it open on the sides to keep the plastic shell. When open you'll discover the battery cell, you probably punctured it while slicing it open, who cares? Take note of a number on the cell like "US103450". It's the cells physical size, so 10mm x 34mm x 50mm. Cut the power leads off the battery control board, making note of positive/negative. Google for and order yourself a 103450 LiPo Cell, and solder it onto your old control board, then mash it into your old shell and enjoy your brand new battery that isn't Chinese trash
I need to come clean. I used my psp's internet browser to look at traps when I was 16 and shot a big fat mega load all over my friends comforter during a sleepover and I blamed it on my other friend saying I saw him blow his nose into it even though it was obvious what happened. I'm sorry Brent.
it's not the responsibility of the citizen to recycle bullshit. we could recycle everything and still these fake shell corporations would only recycle 1% of all plastic products and lie to you AND china indian and southeast asia would still cause all the pollution in the world. it's a big scam and failure of the state. just throw your used batteries in your nearest government buildings dumpster where it belong.s
Or just leave you batteries outside your house on battery collection day. The government will literally come to your house and collect that shit. Check your garbage collection calendar for your street. They pick that shit up. Don't be a moron and acid bomb a public building when you can get rid of that shit without leaving your driveway you dumbass.
>Or just leave you batteries outside your house on battery collection day
That's any week I throw a battery in my trash cans
Wish I could throw away my UPS batteries that way but they're about a quarter the size of a car battery and heavy as frick
can you not just put it in a trashbag filled with a bunch of bubble wrap or something? they don't fricking inspect the trash they grab the shit and drive on
Sure, but I'm sure they would appreciate not having things in the truck that might start burning, leaking chemicals or blowing up if handled improperly They handle enough shit as is, no need to be rude with garbage truck drivers.
We have mere years before the millions upon millions of late 2000s rechargeable batteries start detonating en masse. We're talking dozens of housefires every month in every city, the country is genuinely not ready.
>We have mere years before the millions upon millions of late 2000s rechargeable batteries start detonating en masse. We're talking dozens of housefires every month in every city
actually disposed of mine a few months back because one of theses threads
one was fine
the other was swollen as frick
now i'm worried about other non psp batteries
I accidentally end up leaving the batteries without a charge because I forget to charge it when I've stopped playing with them, but I still check on them every so often.
I fricking hope not, those things are pretty nice to carry around with me because of how tiny they are, I don't think it's even possible to tell if the battery is swollen without opening it up.
i assume the plastic would start separating at some point, although opening it to check and install a replacement if needed and a microsd adapter would probably be a good idea too
I have a bunch of vitas, charged the batteries to 80% and took them out except for my main unit.
If these things swell I guarantee it will crack the back glass
>not knowing about PSP and DS/3DS screens turning into piss overtime
it's especially bad in japan
all those morons buying up decade old used handhelds get dabbed on then complain on plebbit
either way age is a factor. but it's not really a defect, it's the client ordering cheaper types of plastic that are more prone to yellowing, or wanting to save on costs by skipping the treatments for color retention. blaming the faceless manufacturer when the results of cost-cutting become visible to the consumer is a typical scumbag corpo move.
Happened to my battery years ago. But now I want to play phantasy star portable again. Will a PSP work without a battery if it’s plugged into the charger?
Can this happen even if it hasn't been charged or used at all for years? I took mine out in like 2019, it was fine then but I don't remember where I put it

our standards for durability have dropped so low. that shit was bleeding edge crap and i remember losing it out of a vehicles window twice and it still working. what the frick happened. the original ipods, even with their ancient hard drives survived car accidents, your modern phone breaks with a pair of car keys in the same pocket
oh, I took mine out of my PSP a year or two ago but it's swelling a bit now although it's opening on the side rather than whatever's happening in the OP
No joke I was imagining some kind of robo girl with her battery or core overheating, making her bulge and distend before exploding like a bomb. Hot as frick.
system will most likely be fine. the system itself is sturdy enough so if anything, the battery cover will end up popping off.
battery is pretty fricked though and can actually explode.
My dad stabbed mine to see what would happen after I took it out. I don't recommend it. Just take out the cell and keep the chip for a pandora's battery
>the people that run society aren't concerned with what happens in the future
nothing to worry about bro, just go play vidya
leave those things to your betters amirite?
I keep ALL my handhelds' batteries either drained down to minimum or just remove them outright. Not a problem for me. Protip: DON'T leave a fully-charged handheld dormant for years on end.
whys there no adapter to use AAAA batteries in the psp?
it could fit 3 of them which would give it the same capacity or even more. AAAA nimh rechargable batteries come from 400mAh up to 900mAh each.
the discharge circuit of the psp battery is know since there are third party ones and i even have a couple of bought and home made pandora batteries that still work.
So what are the environmental effects of improperly disposing of these things anyways? People say fires in dumps, but is it going to cause someone seven generations from now to grow an extra toe if you toss it in the desert, or what?
Better question >what are the environmental effects of *properly* disposing of these things anyways?
What, it's the fricking same??? Then why bother at all?
>1000 one is slightly swollen, but still fits >empty in 5min even though the system thinks it's full >2000 literally cannot fit into the system anymore >3000 is fine
It's fine.
Lol at all the Anons worried about exploding batteries
While the ignoring the carcinogenic radiation the degrading lithium is spewing all over their houses. That pittance of foil shielding was immediately compromised when the cell started swelling
My extended capacity 2200mAh PSP-1000 battery is still alive, but both my slim battery and my red TOOL service battery blew last year.
I also realized you can shove a PSP-1000 battery into a PSP-2000 and it works perfectly.
It really is a shame. Actually, if anything, it seems these modern weirdly shaped Li-Po cells are basically worse in every fricking way compared to older style multi-cell Li-ions.
i smashed my PSP due to pure rage of failing a MHFU run so i threw mine away. yes i'm autistic. i don't play many competitive/hard games because of this
Been a bit since I used my PSP. Are the backs of the batteries meant to be completely flat? There's a bit of curvature to mine. Meanwhile my GBA SP and the likes don't look off.
>the backs of the batteries meant to be completely flat?
Yes. The fronts may have some shape, which will help resist deforming, but the flat back will be the first tell
Sorry for your loss
>Here's a closer look.
100%. It's kaput
You can still *use* it, though it'll work like shit. But replacing the battery door on your PSP is more annoying than changing the battery
these kind of threads are why i swapped out my glass desk because i was afraid of it exploding on me
frick you guys for giving me something else to obsess over
years ago i had four PSP batteries in a row on my closet shelf that all swelled up identically, i trashed all of them. at least you can still run the PSP plugged in, not like i go outside anyway
>want to play kino Vita games >go to charge it as it hasn't been used in awhile >let it charge all day >won't turn on >try multiple times >battery won't hold a charge >no money to buy new charger
So fricking bummed out
>dig out old 3ds >no bulging, battery seems fine >press power button out of curiosity, havent played it since 2015 >turns on with low battery
i'm impressed
I was actually worried about this a few months ago, so I called my parents to go find my psp in my old room and throw out the battery
I frickin did it guys, I saved my family

I really want to buy a psp or a vita but I have no idea what I’d even do with them, I just want a new gadget to play with but im too soul dead to play video games anymore
just get a steam deck. itll emulate all that, its got a fricking boatload of tweaking shit you can do and absurd control schemes, and youll use it like maybe every two months.
What's annoying is the charge retention on the PSP batteries is utter dogshit. My DS/3DS batteries still have high charge after not touching them for a long time but every time I pull the PSP out, it's flat.
This seems to happen more frequently to people who have not used their PSP in years. I check and recharge my 1004 every few months, and I haven't had the issue yet.
Good thing that the battery is user replaceable and you still can buy spares, though. I would be a lot more worried if this happened on the Vita.
I barely know jack shit about bats so I wonder why do they die when not being used?
Additionally as a vita owner I wonder what are the signs of dying bat.
Chemical reactions are still occurring even when not in use. I forget how the voltage plays into it but it ends up making gas which just makes it worse if you start using it again and charge it.
but what about the balooning.
its always happens in devices that arent in use.
I always heard those two things:
- Leaving gadgets with around 50% battery before storing them long term
- Avoiding batteries discharging completely and recharging them before they get too low (I usually recharge at 30%)
Compared to 3ds and GB Micro (what I have at home), my psp and Vita discharge faster while turned off to the point that they can't turn on without a charge, so keeping an eye on them every 3 or 6 months may be a good idea, plus taking the battery out on PSP.
I personally do use my vita so long term storage isnt an issue.
I try to keep the charge between 20/30% and 80ish%
>I personally do use my vita so long term storage isnt an issue.
I try to keep the charge between 20/30% and 80ish%
Kinda the perfect sweet spot. Old tablets may get a firmware update restringing maximum battery charge to 70-80%, so frequent 100% charging is not a good thing either.
The devices I most frequently see with swollen batteries are smartwatches and business laptops, so how many cycles the battery has also matters. I never used my PSP and Vita that much, but...
tl;dr: If batteries are that shitty, user removable should be the preferred design, even if it makes the device heavier and thicker.

>1200 mah for a battery
Goddamn homie are you serious? This shit would last like 8-10 fricking hours, how the frick does it last that long when phones with 3000+ die in like 6 hours??
It did? Why? It's 8 hours of a console like experience on the go. You'd be crazy not to want it. I'm not even that big of a fan of it, I prefer the DS. But both were definitely revolutionary.
Why it got laughed at? Nintendo fanboys, a.k.a. pikmins, were feeling extremely insecure and threatened by the fact that there was a decent non-nintendo handheld (We are not in Asia, so I won't take the Wonderswan into account) that could compete with them.
The battery and load times were the the only things they had to attack the PSP. Both things would get slightly remediated with PSN digital games, and the feature to install part of the game to the memory stick to improve both the load times and the battery by not having to load from the UMD frequently.
>ex-wife took my box with the PSP in the divorce >little does she know that I surrounded it with cotton wool and gasoline canisters
Any day now... Any day...
PSP street-rip.
I nearly bought one myself few years back.
what's that expression even supposed to mean?
my take is this
bunch of anons are now going to check their psp bats and see them bloated
then they are going to post same shit everywhere abt the bats.
>1200 mah for a battery
Goddamn homie are you serious? This shit would last like 8-10 fricking hours, how the frick does it last that long when phones with 3000+ die in like 6 hours??

I hate built in batteries.
Luckily EU is mandating removable bats in phones iirc.
When a battery starts to swell, any puncture or pressure on it can cause it cause a fire, or worse, explode.
You're better off chucking away a cracked battery like that.
ALWAYS take out the battery when you're done playing. If you're at home just play from the charger without the battery. Charge from 20% to 80%. My oem battery still lasts for 5 hours.
yeah thats smart thing to do.
should do similar thing with my old phone but the bastards charging port is broken.
wonder if its possible to hardwire a usb cable.
I can't fricking find it or my Vita anywhere after my last move, I particularly liked that launch Vita and don't want to have to replace it but I found my 2 Go's (I like collecting them). Will those explode??
Shits fine I think.
I also have a Pandora battery here, I got tired of pandorizing batteries so I even bought one of these red ones...
Oh shit what the frick happened?
Alright I found my old psp fat and the battery is OK. I also found a fat Xbox 360 hard drive, wonder what's inside.
I was actually unaware these batteries has issues, I was actually surprised when I found my Pandora battery like that, I was typing the post, then went to check and it was like that.
The one inside the psp seems fine, the PSP logo seems to have gold dust or whatever and the text and numbers can't be read anymore but it didn't pop at least.

If it's fine it means you've given the console periodic use over the years. The batteries swell up if left unattended (and uncharged) for a long time.
Machines tend to break down and die when not in use, as does the human body.
I hadn't heard of swollen battery 2 weeks ago and now it's everywhere. I know 2 people who had a laptop and a phone battery get swollen this week. And now daily threads on it
no
I don't think I will
Don't have to. Already happened years ago.
I can't find my PSP

can't find mine either but I know I brought it with me when I moved so it has to be in the closest where I put all the shit from my old place but never unpacked
DS and 3DS batteries too. One of mine became a fat boy so I threw it in the garage for now. I'll throw it in the river sometime when I'm out.
homie why are you going through the effort going out to the river. There's disposal spots at supermarkets, unless they don't have those in burgerland.
Look at this homosexual handing over his electronics to strangers when there's perfectly good rivers all around him.
What are you afraid they're gonna do with your unusable battery?
Why do they want my battery so badly?
It's suspicious

If you don't know about the mythology you can even just type "pandoras box" into google and find out in seconds.
I have no idea about how to use Pandora as a reply in this context, be it the mythology story, or the jailbreaking battery.
Battery seems fine, but my CFW seems to have nuked itself? Maybe I'm forgetting something, but all I see are my legit games and then a whole lot of "Corrupted Data"
You have to reactivate the CFW with Fastloader or whatever when you turn it on after being fully off.
Alright we're back. I forgot that it doesn't stick after a cold reboot. You can tell I haven't touched my PSP for years...
I use PPSSPP on my Steam Deck instead
already replaced it

Don't have a PSP, but I'm anticipating this with my Wii-U's gamepad and various wireless controllers at some point.
i can't tell if it's okay or not
ANON RUN!
just hit it with a sharp object, it will defalte and be usable for another few years that way.
If you can't close the case, it means the battery is swelling and will eventually explode.
If that's a original model and the lid closes correctly, it's probably ok.
my 3ds battery turned into a balloon and was bulging the panel out it was so scary to touch
Mine has been inflated for four years now
Still haven't thrown it away
had to check my switch controllers some months back. the bottom plate was bulging and the battery was damn near ready to blow lol
OH N-
MRS OBAMA GET DOWN
ANON! GET DOWN!
UUNNNGGHHH THICCER
You are free to refute my logic senpai...or are you unable too? hmm...
unironically what do I with it?
throwing it away is illegal. it will start a fire at the dump.
maybe you want that though
just chuck it in a public garbage can
not my problem
so should I store it away or what?
the people that run society dont seem fit to figure this out, which is why you shouldnt lose sleep either
ideally, theres a place to take them
but in my area they literally charge money to accept them, so i threw mine away
frick em
check battery recycling places around your area
if you're a burger home depot has receptacles for recycling
recycling centers are roaming. it's hard to find one within 100 miles at all times
How would they single me out from the millions of other PSP owners
river
RIVER
i think just put the battery by itself in another container and put it somewhere away from flammable shit. and/or try to find a local recycling place that handles them
>unironically what do I with it?
Slice it open on the sides to keep the plastic shell. When open you'll discover the battery cell, you probably punctured it while slicing it open, who cares? Take note of a number on the cell like "US103450". It's the cells physical size, so 10mm x 34mm x 50mm. Cut the power leads off the battery control board, making note of positive/negative. Google for and order yourself a 103450 LiPo Cell, and solder it onto your old control board, then mash it into your old shell and enjoy your brand new battery that isn't Chinese trash
Throw it in the bin like the trash it now is, moron
My ex gf destroyed my PSP
I went to take a look at my PSP after many years. It was all bloated. Honestly I thought it was just a meme or didn't affect all PSPs.
I need to come clean. I used my psp's internet browser to look at traps when I was 16 and shot a big fat mega load all over my friends comforter during a sleepover and I blamed it on my other friend saying I saw him blow his nose into it even though it was obvious what happened. I'm sorry Brent.
it's not the responsibility of the citizen to recycle bullshit. we could recycle everything and still these fake shell corporations would only recycle 1% of all plastic products and lie to you AND china indian and southeast asia would still cause all the pollution in the world. it's a big scam and failure of the state. just throw your used batteries in your nearest government buildings dumpster where it belong.s
Holy shit, that's brilliant. Frick the river, I'm hiding the next one under a bookcase at the library.
Government building, man, hit the people that deserve this shit, not libraries.
Or just leave you batteries outside your house on battery collection day. The government will literally come to your house and collect that shit. Check your garbage collection calendar for your street. They pick that shit up. Don't be a moron and acid bomb a public building when you can get rid of that shit without leaving your driveway you dumbass.
>battery collection day
>garbage collection calendar
>driveway
>house
????????
>Or just leave you batteries outside your house on battery collection day
That's any week I throw a battery in my trash cans
Wish I could throw away my UPS batteries that way but they're about a quarter the size of a car battery and heavy as frick
can you not just put it in a trashbag filled with a bunch of bubble wrap or something? they don't fricking inspect the trash they grab the shit and drive on
Sure, but I'm sure they would appreciate not having things in the truck that might start burning, leaking chemicals or blowing up if handled improperly They handle enough shit as is, no need to be rude with garbage truck drivers.
good post
What is this thread? Did a bunch of PSPs explode in someone's shop or something?
few years ago
No, I did explode in someone's psp shop.
Thanks! I pricked mine with a pin to let all the excess electricity out and it's working fine again
just use a PS2 power cord if you're battery is dead
A BOMB?
well done getting on the list anon
We have mere years before the millions upon millions of late 2000s rechargeable batteries start detonating en masse. We're talking dozens of housefires every month in every city, the country is genuinely not ready.
this will kick off the day of the rope
john titor warned about this but we didn't listen
>We have mere years before the millions upon millions of late 2000s rechargeable batteries start detonating en masse. We're talking dozens of housefires every month in every city
Oh shit it's coming true, it's 20XX
actually disposed of mine a few months back because one of theses threads
one was fine
the other was swollen as frick
now i'm worried about other non psp batteries
if you have a psp just store you're batteries separate from the device
I still have a bunch of handheld batteries in some LiPo bag. I really should dispose of it...
probably a bag of acid by now
microwave the bag. do it gaygit
>in the news tonight someone from butt frick Egypt blew up their apartment. more news at 9
I checked mine yesterday when I went to see if my old saves were still there. Still good (for now.)
keep an eye on it. unplug it at least. save your files on a card
I accidentally end up leaving the batteries without a charge because I forget to charge it when I've stopped playing with them, but I still check on them every so often.
do you actually need a battery of you have the power supply?
>play a PORTABLE console slaved to the power outlet
Why live then?
No you need a battery in it.
I don't want to throw it away for a cheap chink replacement because it's OEM
Save the board if you can. It still has value to use as a pandora. Still kicking myself for throwing away my old sony battery 10 years ago
>pandora
You don't need that shit anymore.
you don't need it to hack psps now but it's still the #1 way to unbrick a broken psp
nobody bricks their psps anymore
circumflex
Aren't a lot of these batteries used in different handhelds? Like, ds etc?
When will the Vita suffer the same fate? 5 years? It doesn't even have removable batteries
A more pressing issue is the PSP Go. Are those things already starting to balloon up? I hope not.
I fricking hope not, those things are pretty nice to carry around with me because of how tiny they are, I don't think it's even possible to tell if the battery is swollen without opening it up.
i assume the plastic would start separating at some point, although opening it to check and install a replacement if needed and a microsd adapter would probably be a good idea too
I have a bunch of vitas, charged the batteries to 80% and took them out except for my main unit.
If these things swell I guarantee it will crack the back glass
My psps screen has yellowed wtf? Anyone elses?
>not knowing about PSP and DS/3DS screens turning into piss overtime
it's especially bad in japan
all those morons buying up decade old used handhelds get dabbed on then complain on plebbit
I read that the yellowing is a factory defect and not due to age, but idk
either way age is a factor. but it's not really a defect, it's the client ordering cheaper types of plastic that are more prone to yellowing, or wanting to save on costs by skipping the treatments for color retention. blaming the faceless manufacturer when the results of cost-cutting become visible to the consumer is a typical scumbag corpo move.
any other handhelds i should be doing this for by the way or just the psp
All batteries do this
i'm well aware i'm just too lazy to try and think of which ones this might be happening to right now
Mine swelled long before now, so no, I don't think it matters now.
>TFW I have a bunch of psp batteries at my moms house
>I can't find them because she filled my old room with boxes of random shit
Your mother will die in her sleep for real
Find them you lazy frick. They are literal time bombs.
nice buttery flaky crust
Happened to my battery years ago. But now I want to play phantasy star portable again. Will a PSP work without a battery if it’s plugged into the charger?
Can this happen even if it hasn't been charged or used at all for years? I took mine out in like 2019, it was fine then but I don't remember where I put it
Don't store lithium batteries at 100% or 0%, actually it's best to charge them to 80% and never go below 20. Never leave batteries charging over 100.
Ah, how can I dispose of the cells while keeping the circuit board? It barely lasted 30 minutes by the point I took it out anyway.
Seconding this. Leaving them uncharged for a long period of time is what causes them to swell up like this.
To prevent this should I keep the battery charged up?
Yes
Its because its not charged
I thought this happens specifically from trying to charge a battery that can't handle it anymore
How do I stop this from happening to my 3DS?
By using it... or you can charge/discharge the battery until it's at 50% charge and then put it away.
>the battery until it's at 50% charge and then put it away.
These batteries self-discharge. They'll be at 0% before you realize
Battery Battery
toss it out to sea
Battery Battery
In the ocean you'll be free
I had a chink one that expanded once. My current chink one seems fine.
Tick tock anon, better find that old ipod before something bad happens...
frick me my parents have so many shitty little ipod nanos floating around in plastic boxes in their attic
You effectively left a bunch of thermal hand grenades just sitting in your parents' house. Go get them.
it wasn't me it was tim apple
The court won't buy it.
hmmm... I still have my old 60 Gb iPod. Maybe I should take a peak at that PSP too.
>Airsoft batteries laying in garages and closets around the house
I NEED TO CALL MY PARENTS NOOOO
OMG, The fabled iPussy. Oh so easily forgotten.
our standards for durability have dropped so low. that shit was bleeding edge crap and i remember losing it out of a vehicles window twice and it still working. what the frick happened. the original ipods, even with their ancient hard drives survived car accidents, your modern phone breaks with a pair of car keys in the same pocket
oh, I took mine out of my PSP a year or two ago but it's swelling a bit now although it's opening on the side rather than whatever's happening in the OP
AIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>now
They all exploded like two years ago althougheverbeit.
WTF DOBSON NOOOOO GET AWAY FROM MY PSP AAAAAIIIIIIEEEEEGGGGGHHHHHHHH
No joke I was imagining some kind of robo girl with her battery or core overheating, making her bulge and distend before exploding like a bomb. Hot as frick.
I have double ips screens on my 3ds are you jealous anon
SEXO SEXO SEXO ISABELLE SEXO
PLAP PLAP PLAP PLAP HHHHNGHHHH...
what actually happens here? the battery/system just are fricked?
system will most likely be fine. the system itself is sturdy enough so if anything, the battery cover will end up popping off.
battery is pretty fricked though and can actually explode.
So I can deflate it by using a knife right?
Kind of, if you go slow and gove it time to oxidize it'll catch fire. You need to do it really quickly to deflate it without fire.
no you gotta chew it
My dad stabbed mine to see what would happen after I took it out. I don't recommend it. Just take out the cell and keep the chip for a pandora's battery
>launch day battery still plays for 6 hours on lowest brightness

what do?
>we normalized lithium batteries knowing full well that they could explode after a short period of time
bros...what about EVs?
>the people that run society aren't concerned with what happens in the future
nothing to worry about bro, just go play vidya
leave those things to your betters amirite?
Climate change, CHUD
Now shut up and buy those EV batteries
It's fine.
I did a few years ago. All had that problem. Fricking Sony. My DS still works fine.
I keep ALL my handhelds' batteries either drained down to minimum or just remove them outright. Not a problem for me. Protip: DON'T leave a fully-charged handheld dormant for years on end.
whys there no adapter to use AAAA batteries in the psp?
it could fit 3 of them which would give it the same capacity or even more. AAAA nimh rechargable batteries come from 400mAh up to 900mAh each.
the discharge circuit of the psp battery is know since there are third party ones and i even have a couple of bought and home made pandora batteries that still work.
>tfw there are people with literal bombs in their house right now
Just checked mine and it's not bulging. Are European ones better quality than American?
Already did and it was like picrel. Had a 2nd backup battery, but same. Forget the battery, PSP still works without one using the adapter.
So what are the environmental effects of improperly disposing of these things anyways? People say fires in dumps, but is it going to cause someone seven generations from now to grow an extra toe if you toss it in the desert, or what?
Shits on fire dog. There aren't even going to be two generations.
Better question
>what are the environmental effects of *properly* disposing of these things anyways?
What, it's the fricking same??? Then why bother at all?
>People say fires in dumps
fires dont actually happen in dumps and landfills because of the pressure
Just checked my psp 1000 yesterday, battery is still fine and holds a charge. Feelsgoodman
people throwing them into water are dumb, these things are made with rare earth metals so obviously you gotta bury them
There's dirt in rivers. Checkmate.
wait do these batteries actually explode and cause fires?
Yes, if the lithium within is exposed to oxygen
not my problem
now think of all the built-in batteries like in your six axis controllers
>PSP is in a cardboard box under bed in childhood room 600 miles away
even if it goes off, its not going to burn down the house, right?
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/yGDkiUAwxRs
Does this happen with DS batteries?
Should I check them?
If it's a rechargeable battery for something that cost more than a hundred bucks in the 2000s, it's a genuine fire risk.
>1000 one is slightly swollen, but still fits
>empty in 5min even though the system thinks it's full
>2000 literally cannot fit into the system anymore
>3000 is fine
It's fine.
>pop
She's fine.
I bought her a new battery a few months ago.
Just checked mine. It's bulging a bit but the PSP turns on and w
I checked mine about a year back and it was a fricking balloon.
This happened to my launch switch a year or two ago because I had it docked all the time.
mine never leaves the dock
Lol at all the Anons worried about exploding batteries
While the ignoring the carcinogenic radiation the degrading lithium is spewing all over their houses. That pittance of foil shielding was immediately compromised when the cell started swelling
Listen don't be coming around here with your big words ok buster
The second I notice a blown battery it goes straight to the basement
My extended capacity 2200mAh PSP-1000 battery is still alive, but both my slim battery and my red TOOL service battery blew last year.
I also realized you can shove a PSP-1000 battery into a PSP-2000 and it works perfectly.
Only my launch PSP battery got like that, the higher capacity ones I picked up years later are still fine.
This thread only serves to remind me that I am angry about the lack of progress in battery technology.
It really is a shame. Actually, if anything, it seems these modern weirdly shaped Li-Po cells are basically worse in every fricking way compared to older style multi-cell Li-ions.
>it seems these modern weirdly shaped Li-Po cells
PSP cells aren't Li-Po's
so uh what do you do if your batteries become like this? Just chuck it in the trashbin?
Cram em
i smashed my PSP due to pure rage of failing a MHFU run so i threw mine away. yes i'm autistic. i don't play many competitive/hard games because of this
I'm annoyed that my psp has lasted longer than my vita. PSP is still good but my vita battery started fricking up yeas ago.
Isn't this pretty much guaranteed to happen to any old lithium batteries that you continue to use?
PSP batteries would make for good improvised IED's when the gamer revolt happens.
Don't give antigays any ideas on this board.
Been a bit since I used my PSP. Are the backs of the batteries meant to be completely flat? There's a bit of curvature to mine. Meanwhile my GBA SP and the likes don't look off.
>the backs of the batteries meant to be completely flat?
Yes. The fronts may have some shape, which will help resist deforming, but the flat back will be the first tell
Sorry for your loss
Well, the shell replacement on my PSP was scuffed as frick and so I barely used it as a result, so it's been a paperweight for a while.
Here's a closer look.
>Here's a closer look.
100%. It's kaput
You can still *use* it, though it'll work like shit. But replacing the battery door on your PSP is more annoying than changing the battery
these kind of threads are why i swapped out my glass desk because i was afraid of it exploding on me
frick you guys for giving me something else to obsess over
check your chair
more and more chink chair tubes have been exploding recently

the swedes wouldnt blow my butthole up, would they?
A PSP BATTERY JUST FLEW OVER MY HOUSE
>Sir, a second battery has hit the building.
Always remember that no battery hit tower 7.
years ago i had four PSP batteries in a row on my closet shelf that all swelled up identically, i trashed all of them. at least you can still run the PSP plugged in, not like i go outside anyway
The problem is you have to keep the connector completely still cause if it rotates even slightly the PSP will turn off.
>want to play kino Vita games
>go to charge it as it hasn't been used in awhile
>let it charge all day
>won't turn on
>try multiple times
>battery won't hold a charge
>no money to buy new charger
So fricking bummed out
I think your bat is dead not the charger.
Don't worry anons within the next 10 years we will have micronuclear batteries that will hold charge for decades, unironically.
Why did they make exploding batteries?
they thought it would be funny
>dig out old 3ds
>no bulging, battery seems fine
>press power button out of curiosity, havent played it since 2015
>turns on with low battery
i'm impressed
>check the battery on your mockup that never hit retailers
Why have a PSP over a PS Vita? Serious question can’t you do psp stuff on it
I tossed the battery in the trash years ago when it started to swell.
>in the trash
>throw out the battery
Terrible.
delwitit, garboman
I was actually worried about this a few months ago, so I called my parents to go find my psp in my old room and throw out the battery
I frickin did it guys, I saved my family
Radioactive batteries soon lads.
They last 50 years on a single charge.
You will never have to charge again.
>"not to dismantle"
can't wait to watch Aoomers stabbing knives into these on Tik-Tok (Presented by Neuralink2)
>radbatt starts swelling
>house turns into an exclusion zone
I can't wait.
just imagine how many of these are going to end up in the ocean lel
you have any idea how many lithium powered batteries get thrown in the trash every single day
Okay, I checked. It's still massively inflated, nothing new.
Mine is like that, what's going on?
I found my PSP but the battery is missing. Surely I threw it away years ago, right?
Run. Now.
IT'S RIGHT BEHIND ME, ISN'T IT?
I really want to buy a psp or a vita but I have no idea what I’d even do with them, I just want a new gadget to play with but im too soul dead to play video games anymore
just get a steam deck. itll emulate all that, its got a fricking boatload of tweaking shit you can do and absurd control schemes, and youll use it like maybe every two months.
What's annoying is the charge retention on the PSP batteries is utter dogshit. My DS/3DS batteries still have high charge after not touching them for a long time but every time I pull the PSP out, it's flat.
This seems to happen more frequently to people who have not used their PSP in years. I check and recharge my 1004 every few months, and I haven't had the issue yet.
Good thing that the battery is user replaceable and you still can buy spares, though. I would be a lot more worried if this happened on the Vita.
I barely know jack shit about bats so I wonder why do they die when not being used?
Additionally as a vita owner I wonder what are the signs of dying bat.
Chemical reactions are still occurring even when not in use. I forget how the voltage plays into it but it ends up making gas which just makes it worse if you start using it again and charge it.
but what about the balooning.
its always happens in devices that arent in use.
I personally do use my vita so long term storage isnt an issue.
I try to keep the charge between 20/30% and 80ish%
>I personally do use my vita so long term storage isnt an issue.
I try to keep the charge between 20/30% and 80ish%
Kinda the perfect sweet spot. Old tablets may get a firmware update restringing maximum battery charge to 70-80%, so frequent 100% charging is not a good thing either.
The devices I most frequently see with swollen batteries are smartwatches and business laptops, so how many cycles the battery has also matters. I never used my PSP and Vita that much, but...
tl;dr: If batteries are that shitty, user removable should be the preferred design, even if it makes the device heavier and thicker.
I always heard those two things:
- Leaving gadgets with around 50% battery before storing them long term
- Avoiding batteries discharging completely and recharging them before they get too low (I usually recharge at 30%)
Compared to 3ds and GB Micro (what I have at home), my psp and Vita discharge faster while turned off to the point that they can't turn on without a charge, so keeping an eye on them every 3 or 6 months may be a good idea, plus taking the battery out on PSP.
> I check and recharge my 1004 every few months, and I haven't had the issue yet
That's the only way to avoid this shit
Do you guys know if there's any way to play Fate Unlimited Codes online via PPSSPP? I couldn't really understand what I found through google.
>Remembered I had a PSP
>felt like playing it
>don't have the charging cable
vice and lib cities was so good, and outside of a few "okay" ports, phone gaming is so shit. what happened?
My pandora battery is in an african landfill
Love how this thread is filled to the brim with people taking the bait. You love to see it
>1200 mah for a battery
Goddamn homie are you serious? This shit would last like 8-10 fricking hours, how the frick does it last that long when phones with 3000+ die in like 6 hours??
Phones these days have octacores and like five forms of wireless communication active at all times.
Not a lot when spinning optical media, and the PSP got laughed badly for that.
With a CFW and ISO / CSO ripped games? Guaranteed fun for a 4-6 hours road trip.
It did? Why? It's 8 hours of a console like experience on the go. You'd be crazy not to want it. I'm not even that big of a fan of it, I prefer the DS. But both were definitely revolutionary.
Why it got laughed at? Nintendo fanboys, a.k.a. pikmins, were feeling extremely insecure and threatened by the fact that there was a decent non-nintendo handheld (We are not in Asia, so I won't take the Wonderswan into account) that could compete with them.
The battery and load times were the the only things they had to attack the PSP. Both things would get slightly remediated with PSN digital games, and the feature to install part of the game to the memory stick to improve both the load times and the battery by not having to load from the UMD frequently.
What now, wise guy?
These can also be replaced, just requires more fricking about. Took mine to a specialist recently to put a new one in.
I checked mine and it's fine. Still the best handheld ever.
FIRE IN THE CONSOLE
>ex-wife took my box with the PSP in the divorce
>little does she know that I surrounded it with cotton wool and gasoline canisters
Any day now... Any day...
Imagine those tesla cars in a few years tiking time bombs
idk annon mine is fine
>Doesn't pressure bleed his batteries
ngmi
I have swollen battery on my laptop for 2 years and its fine. Modern batteries dont explode easily
i bet i have the fattest one
its sitting on my desk for 3 years now
forbidden toffee
PSP street-rip.
I nearly bought one myself few years back.
my take is this
bunch of anons are now going to check their psp bats and see them bloated
then they are going to post same shit everywhere abt the bats.
phone bats used to last weeks.
the most Ive gotten out of mine was 4 days being super frugal.
I hate built in batteries.
Luckily EU is mandating removable bats in phones iirc.
>Found my psp
>Can't find the battery
Is it over?
Anon check inside your walls before it's too late
Thanks for the notice anon, mine is bulging
OH SHIT IT'S ABOUT T
so you Black folk are telling me this can explode?
When a battery starts to swell, any puncture or pressure on it can cause it cause a fire, or worse, explode.
You're better off chucking away a cracked battery like that.
Also be careful when moving it. Any sudden impacts could cause it to ignite and burst into flame
ALWAYS take out the battery when you're done playing. If you're at home just play from the charger without the battery. Charge from 20% to 80%. My oem battery still lasts for 5 hours.
yeah thats smart thing to do.
should do similar thing with my old phone but the bastards charging port is broken.
wonder if its possible to hardwire a usb cable.
I wish you best of luck finding your vita anon
Thank you anon, I'm honestly not very hopeful
Shits fine I think.
I also have a Pandora battery here, I got tired of pandorizing batteries so I even bought one of these red ones...
Oh shit what the frick happened?
Alright I found my old psp fat and the battery is OK. I also found a fat Xbox 360 hard drive, wonder what's inside.
I was actually unaware these batteries has issues, I was actually surprised when I found my Pandora battery like that, I was typing the post, then went to check and it was like that.
The one inside the psp seems fine, the PSP logo seems to have gold dust or whatever and the text and numbers can't be read anymore but it didn't pop at least.
'ick on 'sp
I can't fricking find it or my Vita anywhere after my last move, I particularly liked that launch Vita and don't want to have to replace it but I found my 2 Go's (I like collecting them). Will those explode??
Wait can it happen to a Vita battery too?
no vita batteries are special magic batteries that last forever
When you put devices into storage, never leave the batteries in them.
mine's fine
seems like you are moronic
do you have object permanence
If it's fine it means you've given the console periodic use over the years. The batteries swell up if left unattended (and uncharged) for a long time.
Machines tend to break down and die when not in use, as does the human body.
the only one i have close its the Dreamcast one and isn't swelled up
Mine is fine.
I hadn't heard of swollen battery 2 weeks ago and now it's everywhere. I know 2 people who had a laptop and a phone battery get swollen this week. And now daily threads on it
>hadn't heard of swollen battery 2 weeks ago
You must live under a rock because it's been cropping up in the past few years due to
. A lot of old devices are beginning to swell now.
this is why I use nimh for everything, they're fricking solid and last forever
