Finally, a battery cover for the PSP-2000

... that will accept the larger batteries from the old PSP model. Why would you want to use the older batteries? Well, they'll increase battery life of the system. No official Sony peripheral supports this, but if PSP-Vault is right about these third-party covers, this is what you've been waiting for. At less than $4, there isn't much risk involved in finding out.

2200mAH battery should almost double the battery life of a Slim. I shall grab one of these if I see them.

Bah - only black. How about those of us who opted white or silver? Or import colors?

Even though my PSP Slim is white, I ordered one just to try it out. I don't know why they have 2 covers, but one of them appears to be the regular PSP Slim cover.. I guess just in case you lose your original cover.

The battery life is perfect on the PSP slim...I leave mine unplugged 90% of the time and have no battery life lost, at all. It's great. I only lose battery life if I play a game for more than an hour and it usually takes about 2-2.5 hours to lose all battery life. People are trippin...

If you use the PSP to watch movies the 2 to 2.5 hours is eaten up in one sitting with no juice left for games and music etc...extending the battery life is good for me.

Does this mean late homebrew converts will be able to downgrade from FW 1.72 without having to craft a Pandora Battery?

If so, then, oh, rapture! Oh, joy! Oh, Giant Enemy Crabs!

I've heard comments that the old PSP batteries may damage the new system. Anyone heard anything about this? Because I will tell you right now, I have a PSP phat and a DS, but if I can put a 22mAH in a PSP Slim I will buy one right away and never look back.

I discovered this through a GameFAQs post last week, so I have this thing bookmarked, but it's good that a lot of people will know now. Also, Play-Asia apparently has some battery covers in the works as well.

Anyone actually bought one, received it, and used it? What's the actual extension of the battery life in real-world use?
