100% of PSP bnatteries sold are garbage.

If your OEM battery is puffy, carefully breal the pastic apart and cut the battery's PCB out of it. Then soilder a 3.7v LiPo battery in it's place. You can order new battery shells, or 3D print your own... But in my personal experience, it's best to just remove the UMD drive (since everyone plays from MemoryStick anyway) and put in the 4000mAh battery.

The first solution is too hard for me, and regarding the second one, I still have UMDs I want to play. What 4000mAh battery are you talking about? How long does it last? Would the PSP have two batteries and just use that one?

Sorry for misunderstanding earlier. What I mean is you can use a PSP 1000 battery which has a higher capacity but the battery cover will not fit. You can buy a battery cover that is compatible with psp 1000 batteries but I dont know where you can find it.

Yes as I mention the the cover will not fit.

Then buy a 1200mah or 1400mah battery.

I dont know about the psp go one but psp 2000, 3000 and street the battery capacity are the same.

Fair enough. To be honest I just recelled my old battery because its cheaper for me but it doesnt last long only 3hrs 30 mins. Ostent can last 4hrs 30mins. The 1400mah one can last for about 5hrs

I've noticed the PSP always has battery when turning it on the following days unlike before and that it always charges so does that mean it was the previous power supply's fault, after all? I already ordered the 1800mAh Cameron Sino battery from Amazon. I don't know if the current battery lasts as long as it should and that it previously lasted but at least I'm not having the former issues.

Should I let the PSP's and the PS Vita's batteries completely discharge (until the PSP's and the PS Vita's screen turn off) before charging them and when charging them, should I let them fully charge (until the PSP's and the PS Vita's power LEDs turn off)? And if letting the batteries completely discharge, after charging them, should I turn both consoles on and then off because after doing the former they resume the previous activity (before the battery was fully discharged) and so I guess the battery wears even if the PSP and PS Vita are in Sleep/Standby Mode (do batteries also wear if the consoles are turned off, but less)? I'm asking this because I've been told I shouldn't let my phone's and laptop's batteries completely discharge nor fully charge.

As far as I am concerned, any battery of any electronic device should not be fully discharged until empty, and if it happens it should be recharged immediately so as not to let the internal components deteriorate. Instead, as soon as it is fully charged, it should be taken off the home power supply immediately since even then the internal components would be damaged for overcurrent.

So, the PSP, the PS Vita, phones and laptops shouldn't be charged overnight and it should always be paid attention to see if they're already fully charged to take the power supplies out?

Regarding my problem, do you think it was the charger's fault and not the battery's?
In my humble opinion, a charger either is damaged and therefore does not work, or has too low an amperage and takes longer to fully charge a battery (e.g. 1A charger for smartphones) or is adequate and charges faster than the previous one, said otherwise it achieves the same result in less time (e.g. 2A charger for smartphones).

I don't know if the previous power supply is damaged but it sometimes didn't charge the battery at all or only for a short period of time and this power supply always charged it and fits the power input better but it's bulkier. I also don't know if it takes longer to charge the battery than the previous one and if the battery lasts longer than if charging it with the other power supply.

The capacity of the fully charged battery is identical whether you charge it with a weaker charger (lower amperage) or a more powerful one: only the speed of charging and the time it takes to do so change, but the end result will be identical.
Regarding the recovery menu, I don't know; look online.

So, does the voltage matter more than the amperage? Might it mess up the battery if charging it with a power supply with a different voltage but not if charging it with a power supply with a different amperage?

I already did, but I can't find any information about it.

You can't charge it with a different voltage.

I will give an example.
If you have a completely discharged car battery, you can use a starter (booster), which has a very high amperage to restart the engine and battery, but this would not damage it (unless it had already been discharged for a long time, so it was no longer rechargeable).
In contrast, if you try to recharge a moped battery, via jumper cables, with a truck battery (that would be to say of much higher voltage), you would destroy the battery and damage the moped's electronic control unit.
In all electrical equipment, the voltage should always be as specified by the manufacturer.

So, would it just not charge it or also mess it up?

Would batteries charge faster if charging them with a higher amperage and slower if charging them with a lower amperage?

You risk killing the PSP by supplying the wrong voltage. You can get away with higher current but not higher voltage, higher current just mean higher watt charger.

What about amperage? Volts, amps, watts, hertz... this is so confusing. Also, I don't know why but my phone's stock power supply often says fast charge isn't working and it will charge slower and I have to disconect the power supply from the power strip and connect it again for it to work (and it doesn't always work the immediate next times).

Amp is current, on the PSP charger it would says in A for Amp, V for voltage, V times A = Watts, so 5V times 1A =5 Watts or 5W.
