Do you have the PSP battery pack blues? Do your DS friends kick sand in your face because you can barely squeeze out a few hours of game time on your Sony handheld while they complain that they only can get 15 hours on their DS Lites?
Sony to the rescue; they will be releasing a new battery that will be compatible with the PSP and new slim and lite models. This monster will clock in at 2200mAh and will give you an extra 20% of playing time on the old models and 80% more on the newer versions of the PSP.
But with all this power comes a slightly larger battery. On the thinner PSPs, it will slightly bulge out, so new covers for your machine will be available.
