Guys I've been googling for some days trying to find anything related to this battery but I couldn't find something helpful. I tried english, portuguese and even russians forums but I still don't have any clue about what is this battery for.

According to this thread(https://gbatemp.net/threads/internal-clock-battery-cap.382058/) it is a CMOS battery and it can make your PSP able to "hold" the memory of data and time while you change the removable battery of it, however whenever I change mine I have to set the time and data again...so my doubts are:

Is it really a CMOS battery or just a capacitor?
Is there a problem if I change it?
What is the model of the battery?(I wanna know before I remove mine hahaha)

Here you can see the "cmos" battery that I am talking about

Btw I checked mine with a multimeter and it shows current in it.

Anyway thanks if you can answer or give me some light

It should be a tiny rechargeable lithium or nimh battery (never checked...), a good number of smartphones also have them (and a small number of laptops, but usually in bigger physical sizes)
Do you think the battery is there to hold the time for a while? Cuz if so .. Mine it's not doing that

I thought it was just 377 battery but it turns out it is a cap. I was able to disolder the cap and read the designation. It reads 3.3v 0.2f. A google search on that lands me on caps that looks exactly like the one in question.

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Kodi repost are still pretty popular
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    oh you mean the 3rd party apps on Kodi, yea i know what you mean, yea there are still a few cool ones, in fact watched the new planet of the apes movie other night w wifey thru one, was good pic surprisingly, not a cam
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
