Product Description
This is Datel's official Hot Wire battery for the Sony PSP and PSP Slim which functions as a Pandora's Battery (also known as a Jigkick or Tool Battery). This battery will make your PSP boot up from the Memory Stick in Service Mode. A separately available correctly formatted Memory Stick (a Magic Memory Stick) is required for flashing the firmware of your PSP.
As well as the PSP Classic this battery will also fit the PSP Slim but is larger than the Slim battery so you will not be able to fit your battery cover.
This battery takes 3 x standard AAA alkaline cells (supplied) which are inserted in its casing, and will last for approximately 1-2 hours use.

Fun:
ok i bought this handy piece of kit for obvious reasons (otherwise you wouldnt be reading this would you :-p) it done exactly what i needed it to, and thats to boot my psp up in service mode. Dont be put of by both the first review and the fact that it uses batterys, and to be honest it only took me ten minutes to do what i needed to do with it, so i wouldnt exactly say battery life is a major concern.

Beware - Does not work with SOME PSP Slim models!
This didn't work with my PSP Slim, because my PSP is 'Unhackable'. Make sure that your PSP Slim is hackable before you buy this product!!

Hotwire\PSP Service Battery
Excellent device does exactly what it says on the box. Use this battery with a PSP magic stick and you can reset you PSP to Sony's official firmware 1.5. Read more

Broken, Returned... Replacement? No thank you!
Very disappointing...
Fell apart in my hand, cheaply made and unreliable.
Fork out the little bit extra and pick up something better....
Would not recommend.

Hot Wire (PSP) works!
Does exactly what it is supposed to do (Pandora), at a very reasonable price. It does use 2 batteries (included, but not rechargable), but this is unimportant unless you are... Read more

Do not buy this for slim psp
Purchased this for my psp slim, it does nothing at all! Read up on forums and it seems it is really designed for the Fat PSP not Slim, even though it says it on the packaging!

Datel Hot Wire - Avoid at all costs
Not much to say. Used this in my PSP slim with no effect at all. Tried rotating the battery's as the instructions condescendingly recommend but still would not work. Read more

Don't let the above naive review put you off... it was probably made by a company selling the competition product. I bought one of these recently... Read more

don't bother
poor build quality, low functionality - very tempermental. I've only had it successfully work once, for a very short period of time, not long enough to do anything of any use. Read more
