Few pictures worth thousand of words.

so here is it! UMD Battery mod!

Took out the UMD drive.

Front and back view of the UMD battery. Both Li-ion battery(no risky explosion

), parallel connection, with circuit protection board(prevent overcharge and over-discharge).

Copper-stripes.

The copper-stripes will stick on the PSP battery that looks like this.

This is how the whole thing looks like. The UMD battery will link up with the PSP battery externally. This method works perfectly, PSP will start up like normal, just plug&play. Can take out anytime.

impressive right? lol..

! Look at that battery time. Good work philippecr.

i'm not sure if the indicated time is correct or not. (it's not accurate originally anyway) I'm now testing if it really works that long.

update us with the final play time. I think this is worthy of making to our tutorials page.

Nice job so far it looking great should turn really well after its complete.

interesting way to use the copper strips to make it removable so you have the power of three batteries, it should last at least 16 hours
should have done it on the slim
i guess you save valuable seconds when replacing the battery with a spare, but is it worth the loss of the umd drive

finally someone did this mod...

hoping a tut from you buddy...

philippecr · « **Reply #8 on:** August 21, 2009, 10:44:20 AM »

i've already passed 6 hours of gameplay(Ridge Racer 2) with 333mHz, full brightness and full volume.... and it's still going!!!

MAN, THIS IS TORTURING!!!

write a tutorial? lol.... sorry guys... writing a tutorial is not planned.

But anyway, the whole thing ain't hard to build... only simple soldering and most parts are ready made. The circuit control board is a ready-made board. Battery - 2x 1350mAH Li-Ion battery(total of 2700mAH)

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #9 on:** August 21, 2009, 12:59:32 PM »

Where did you get the circuit board control or did that come with those other batteries you got.

philippecr · « **Reply #10 on:** August 22, 2009, 04:51:52 AM »

The whole battery piece (include circuit board) is ready-made. I asked my friend to get it for me in China. The only thing that i've done is stick the copper-stripe and a few cuts on my PSP.

According to the info(or if u look at the photos clearely), the battery is manufactured by SE (aka Sony Electronics) for Sony Ericsson's phone. With a rating of 1350mAh each. The circuit board is from Sony too. I have no idea where the seller get all this.

atomicareprise · « **Reply #11 on:** August 22, 2009, 11:57:59 PM »

how about this one?

will this work?

i use the circuit board of the phats battery then change the stock cell with 2 3.7v battery..

matv90 · « **Reply #12 on:** August 24, 2009, 08:38:19 PM »

hey thats great but can you tell the name of that batteries, this mod is really useful, also the razor x pad

philippecr · « **Reply #13 on:** August 25, 2009, 01:01:30 PM »

ok. there's no 'name' for this battery(I got it from China... what you expect?). The few info that i can tell you is it's rated 1350mAH. Branded "SE". which the seller says it's from Sony Electronics. and he told me that this is use to make Sony Ericson phone batteries.

I'll upload more detail photos of the battery tomorrow. Hope the photos can help any modders to get the right one.

Most important:
If u decide to connect your external battery through that '+- hole' of the original PSP battery, please make sure u get a circuit control board to protect your Li-ion battery in case of over-charge or under-change. If not, you'll screw up your Li-ion battery.

i am from china, i DIY IT,i made MUD batteries such as the pictures.but you must remove the UMD mod.i am planing to sell them on ebay.
those batteries can let your PSP works 12-24hours .now here is the amazing creation: (vedio install guidance is available.)

if somebody want to buy from me, it will be around $60 with shipping via air mail..add extra 10usd to get EMS express shipping.
i will upload the vedio for modify soon.
you can also send me your psp and let me do for you, but modify fees will be quested...lolz

Tony: Looks VERY interesting. Not so sure of it would fit into my phat due to the extra speaker mod.

Can these extra batteries be charged as normal (plug into power socket) along with the main battery, or would I have to charge them separately?

Arioch_76 · « **Reply #16 on:** April 22, 2010, 09:59:47 AM »

Hi that's a really good idea...

it's so simple that I wonder how no one thought of before

Anyway good Job.

the extra battery can be charged together with the main one, you can remove the extra one any time..but when you plug agian..you must make sure the main one is full charged, or it will be screwed.

hey so all you would have to do is connect them to the + & -, Or Would You Have To Connect Them To The Pins?

atomicareprise · « **Reply #19 on:** April 22, 2010, 07:26:14 PM »

maybe this will work the same as the circuit board that he uses....

What I Want To Know How Would This Connect

atomicareprise · « **Reply #21 on:** April 22, 2010, 07:35:36 PM »

just connect them to the pins..

the main battery has its own circuit board so it will detect the battery then the

two extra batter just extend ur battery life and as for the circuit board on the

two extra battery they act as regulator so that u won't over charge ur battery

all you have to do is remove the UMD mod, and stick copper-stripes on the main battery to connect the extra one, i am now uploading the vedio on youtube(not easy in china.)

Hey So 1 Of The Battery Wires Would Connect To 1 of the copper wire on the battery, and the other one to the other one, and i dont need any thing else, i would just connect them both of them and thats it,
and would they both charge if you connected it to charge or would you have to take it out and charge it,
and would it take longer to charge?

ya..just wires the copper corectly (- +), no anything else. the SE battery with circuit protection board(prevent overcharge and over-discharge, just charge them together as normal.no need to take it out.full charge takes 5 hours more or less. then your PSP will last 12 hours at least.

ok so i need to buy a SE battery with circuit protection board
