Always good to have a spare battery pack for those long road trips.

Hmmm, I might just have to pick one up since I got mine at launch.

Thanks!

[Ender]

Wow, that is really an excellent deal! The 1800mAh version costs like $35, last time I checked. Ordering 2!!

[toneroni]

im picking one up since psp has horrible battery life. They also have DS ones for like $5 but its a 3rd party brand and DS batteries arent as easily switched out

[Alpha2]

6 hours isnt really horrible. But I picked up a import 2200mah battery and now I get about 10.5 hours, they should have shipped with these from day one!

But I have a feeling these might be misrepresented as most places I've seen seem to be selling the old 1800mah batteries for this much, hopefully in anticipation of getting the better ones instock.

I chose store pickup as my shipping option, so I should be able to go get them soon. I'll let you guys know if they are the actual 2200mAh version.

[Derwood43]

Picked one for me and my wife. Thanks!

Looks like the 1800, going from the item number (PSP110) and the second picture they show is the 1800. Still a decent deal...

Yeah the model number is for the 1800.

[mackaikai]

um, should i get 2 or 3...um...

ok, bought 2. thanks OP

[toneroni]

werd i dunno how many to get lol..the sad part is i never even use my psp =/ DS is much more fun

[Kendal]

I am going to get one, thanks OP.

[nonggame]

Got 2 thanks

[bball1515]

shipping looks like its 5$ each, so more like 12 or 13$ total

[fujishig]

But these are readily available at a lot of best buys, so in-store pickup means no shipping cost...

[toneroni]

damnit. someone snatched it out from my cart at 86th st. =/

[Pookymeister]

i ordered two for instore pickup and printed out the main screen which shows the 2200 version, for when they try to peddle me the 1800 versions ;p

[bball1515]

with gas being almost 4$ a gallon, unless you are walking to best buy you are probably gonna be paying more than that shipping cost though!

[YoshiFan1]

Ordered 2 for in store pickup. I figured at that price I should pick up 2 for upcoming summer road trips where I might not be able to recharge the battery as much as I would like to

[jPoD]

heh i have 4 PSP batteries already. Cant go wrong with 5 =D

[guyver2077]

i need a high capacity battery.


is the 2200 the newer model that last longer?

[jPoD]

yup

[TimPV3]

It's also on clearance at K-Mart for $16.00

[rly723]

so whats the difference between this battery pack and the one that comes with the PSP?

[Purkeynator]

This one has a box

[Blade70]

Got two 1800mah in store.

[swetooth9]

tagged!

[jlindsay26]

Ordered two does any one have any idea how long you can store
lithium-ion batteries before using them?

[CocheseUGA]

Not a bad deal. However, nothing will beat the deal I bragged about in the other forum (2200 & Sony quick charger for $7.99 BC @ GS). I love GS's generic price points.

[pinoy530]

You might need to charge them pretty frequently. I dont play my psp that much anymore, so when I pick it after two weeks or so of not charging, the battery is dead.

[bigbabyaggie99]

Thanks OP! My brother and I will definitely need these as backups.

[phantomer]

heh checked availablity around my bestbuy, and 3 of them sold out within 2 hours. lucky i picked mine up.

they'll probably stock the new 2200 ones soon, i think

[cruzincontrol]

Got mine for in-store pickup....too bad it won't be the longer lasting model...

[Pookymeister]

Do they not have the longer lasting version in store at all?

[Strell]

Picked up an extra in case anyone wants it. Feel free to pay for it or trade.

Thanks OP!

I was thinking more along the lines of how long they can be stored unopen they go bad?

[Pookymeister]

If there is interest, i can try to pick up more when i go - PM me soon though.(like within 15 minutes)

[jPoD]

Leave one for me you meanie ;)

[Pookymeister]

Ok - i picked up a couple extras. First come, first serve.

[mackaikai]

maybe I'll go to Sears for a pricematch...

[dmorack]

No luck getting the 2200MAh battery at the Fair Lakes, VA store. They go by the model number, not by the picture. I told them to keep 1800MAh one they had pulled for me. I hope others are luckier than I.

For the record, I didn't see any of the 2200MAh ones on the shelf.

[Alpha2]

The 1800 gives you roughly 6 hours of play time with the screen on it's dimmist setting.

The 2200 gives about 10.5 hours at the same setting. I dont think they've put them into wide rotation just yet atleast not here because the one I have is from europe (atleast it had english and french on the packaging.)

The litium batteries can be kept around for a while but as I understand it you should charge them fully if you dont plan to use it for a while or it will loose it's battery life. This info was in the DS packaging and should apply to most any lithium power supply. (I left my laptop battery uncharged for 3 months and when I tried to charge it again it would only work for like 5 seconds!)

[mrbungler]

NICE!! I scored 2 from the Warwick, RI store. Thx OP.

[PerryD]

I picked an extra battery up last time Best Buy had them on sale back in March, for the low price of $35 :P Don't think I'll ever need three batteries.

[Purkeynator]

Picked up one at my store. Thanks Moogle

[Pookymeister]

1 gone so far , PM me if you are looking for one of these

[Decker]

YGM. :)

[mick16]

Thanks OP. I picked up two. Definitely helps out for long flights or when I get stuck in the airport. What's the best deal on a PSP battery charger out there?

[BREVITY]

Thanks OP.


I didnt know there was a quick charger for these? Can you link us on one of them? I havent seen one.

[CocheseUGA]

Thanks OP.

As for where you can buy it in the US, I have no idea. I guess I just got extremely lucky. It comes up to ~$33 in current exchange rates. Combine that with a $35 battery, and damn did I feel good about paying ~$6.75 for both.

[Strell]

I saw one of those at Best BUy when I went to get my battery. It was 25 or 35 though, not sure which. I debated about buying one.

The only way I like the stock charger better is that I can play while charging. Otherwise, I take that with me on trips. With the 2200, I swear I get at least 7-8 hours on full brightness playing. It's a great battery. Much better than the stocker.

And they do lose charge when you don't use them, unfortunately.

[BREVITY]

Tnx dam I wish they were cheaper.

[chior]

Anybody knows if the price is good in B&M. It is sold out on bb.com. I cannot add it into the card for local store pickup. If the price is good, I will go there and buy one. thanks

[kell]

I just got denied in store. It rang up at $39.99. I told the guy it is $7.99 online and he replied, "Well this is our instore price." I didn't want it bad enough to fight with management for it. This is for the 1800 with the same item number.

Not sure what their policy is, but if you are going to B&M you may want to bring a printout with you.

Edit: Interesting...before I left the website listed it for $7.99, but online it is now listed at $39.99. Deal may be dead.

[stratman71]

39.99 online now. done deal.:cry:

[zman73]

Glad I swooped in and got 3 before the price change... two for my two psps, and one for a friend

[Pookymeister]

got 3 left for CAGS - swoop in with a PM

[JCDenton]

I could use one if someone has an extra. I didn't realize they were marked back up and I was surprised when it rang up $40 today.

[Alpha2]

Alternatively, now that this deal is dead, there is an unofficial 10 dollar battery for sale at Best Buy that uses 3 AAA batteries. If you use high capacity rechargeable AAAs (about 12 bucks?) it might work out to be a decent deal.

[soulwish2003]

I'm going to pick mine up this afternoon... I bought with store pick up Thursday...

[BREVITY]

Just got back from my BB. They argued with me but I won out since there was still a 7.99 sign on the peg. So I got one. Tnx again.

[Pookymeister]

If no one wants my batteries, they will be going back.....pm me

[Supremo4]

How much of a premium are you asking for them shipped?

[Pookymeister]

going back tomorrow or Tuesday if no bites.

[CocheseUGA]

going back tomorrow or Tuesday if no bites.

Prices might be nice to those thinking about it. Kinda like the person above you.

[Pookymeister]

Thats what PMs are for.

[mmercer13]

I got the NEW battery from Bestbuy.com, I thought the deal was for the old one? I'm not complaining, just curious.

[Pookymeister]

last chance - $12 shipped for one, or they go back

[dracula]

i would want one for $12 shipped.

[Pookymeister]

dracula got his - 2 more left , any takers?

[merkman]

Greetings all.

When I purchased mine online, I didn't see anything about 1800. I simply saw the pic for the 2200 mAH and QUICKLY placed my order. Having two PSP's, I picked up two replacement batteries fully expecting Best Buy to cancel my order like they did the $499 laptop I never received 3-4 months ago.

Well, today the batteries arrived. I was pretty psyched to open the box and see that 2200 goodness. So I was a little peeved when I opened the box and saw 2 - 1800 mAH batteries inside. :(

With tax, these each cost me $15. Still a good deal, but I don't have an "external" charger, and I'm a little honked I didn't get what I thought I ordered. I'll probably keep them, but am I the only one who feels this way? I'm sure those who missed out will think I'm being a winer. I just wish I'd gotten what they showed I'd ordered on the page...
