Post by: bustinthejustin on February 15, 2009, 03:38:22 PM: Well... The wall charger outputs 5.5v, and the psp is only supposed to take 5, so i dunno. 0.5v may or may not make a difference. I wouldn't try it though.

So, it sounds like if I get a 5v usb charger then technology it would work?

@ Tri-edge & blackburn
Do you know how many volts the ipod wall chargers put out?
Did you do the USB charge MOD?
Does it charge when the PSP unit is turned off?

Post by: DarkShot on February 15, 2009, 06:39:45 PM: Anything that connects to usb 2.0 takes 5 volts.

Wall chargers Also put out 5 volts.

You're safe.

1. 5 volts
2. No, I did use the plugin to allow me to charge off of usb though
3. No, but If I did do the charge mod it would charge while it was off OR if I bought one of these cables it would charge while it's off http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.8693 (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.8693)

Post by: blackburn on February 15, 2009, 07:26:42 PM: just hard wire the USB charge, use the ipod charger (or equivalent) with USB 2.0 cable and your all good, end of discussion!

Post by: GhoSt on February 15, 2009, 09:06:34 PM: Usb 2.0 is rated at 5v give or take abit. Usally comes out at about 5.5v, this is perfectly fine on the psp

he is right

@justin: volages are rounded, and I have personly used 5.5 v into the psp no probs. So your wrong on this one bro :victory:

Post by: bustinthejustin on February 15, 2009, 09:12:55 PM: Alright, but I still stand by my statement that not all wall chargers give out the same voltages.

exactly, alot of voltages are rounded just to keep things without decimals.

Post by: JoblessPunk on February 16, 2009, 03:41:21 AM: Not to beat this to a pulp, but it sounds like I will be able to use that Mini USB wall/car charger?
I'm going to remove my AC plug on my PSP slim and I would like to be able to Charge it while the PSP is off, and be able to charge it in my car.

I thought I would have to mod something inside my PSP to do that, but I can't find the tutorial... or am I wrong?
Title: Re: If I do the USB Power mod would I be able to use this?
Post by: bustinthejustin on February 16, 2009, 09:19:25 AM: You'll need to do the USB charge mod to get it to charge while off. There's a tut In the psp phat section, but the solder points are the same.

Post by: ndru98 on February 16, 2009, 10:35:32 PM: Wait what?
Why are you doing the USB charge mod if you have a slim?
Go get the plugin instead O_O
Title: Re: If I do the USB Power mod would I be able to use this?
Post by: Sanctus on February 17, 2009, 12:00:11 AM: I'm sure you have to have your psp on for it to charge with that plugin.

1. because he can
2. so it charges while it's off
3. if for whatever reason he decides to remove the powerplug (dual nub)

Post by: ndru98 on February 17, 2009, 08:52:05 AM: Ah, I didnt know that.
I thought you could also charge when off.

no you can't, and if you somehow run out of battery you can't turn it on to charge it again. So that's the usefulness of the usb charge mod.
