Fun:
I was a bit unsure about buying an external battery pack as I had read some other negative reviews on others, however I am very impressed by this product, it powered my PSP2000 for an extra 2 days of game playing and web surfing. Two points I would like to see changing on the product is a low battery warning light that is visible during use and losing the extra plug that is for charging the PSP when the battery is folded over the screen. The battery is also useful as a stand for watching films, also I have noticed that the battery pack gets warm when charged but this doesn't seem to affect it's operation.

Fun:
Starting with a few facts, this pack works on PSP 1000, 2000 and 3000 models. The product is very sturdy and mounts solidly onto the top of the console via the screw threads that flank the mini-USB port. The rubberised grip isn't too bulky, and basically makes the console feel more like a traditional controller which is no bad thing.
It also rotates around on the mount to cover the screen and buttons during travel, which eliminates the need for a case (a neat little trick borrowed from the DS design). Those are the most useful positions, but it is also possible to angle the pack to make a stand for the console whilst watching movies.
The wire visible in the pictures (which was my only initial concern) is in fact very discreet and sits perfectly snug with the body of the console and pack. Because the power socket is on different sides on different models of the PSP, it is possible to retract the wire in and bring one out on the other side of the pack instead (which allows PSP-3000 compatibility).
The top mount has a central well that allows access to the USB socket, and the pack flips up to allow UMD access. They really have thought of everything.
A final word on battery life - superb. The pack contains a lithium battery that's twice the size of that in the PSP. Therefore, if you charge the battery pack and your PSP, you will effectively get three times your usual battery life - so over seven hours whilst using the UMD drive and a lot longer if running games/content straight off a memory stick (will alter slightly depending on brightness setting etc). It gives you the kind of battery life the console should have had in the first place.
The only concern is the size increase of the console. Let's face it, the PSP isn't the smallest of pocket devices, and this pack won't help in that regard. But if you're in the habit of throwing it in a daybag to fend off boredom while travelling or waiting around, and want to both increase battery life and protect the screen/buttons - this is basically a one-stop solution.
Highly reccomended.
(One star for fun as this is a purely functional item).

Build quality is great, it's a sturdy piece of kit. On the side that's in contact with the console there's fabric to avoid risking any scratches on it. Both cables (so you can charge the battery with the grip on either position) go in snugly and flush, not sticking out. Battery life x2 really as it seems able to charge one complete battery (although you'd probably be better off disconnecting when you ain't playing, charging a battery is a process that wastes energy that you could spend playing). Well pleased with this.

Battery Grip Pack
This was a wasted purchase for me. It was advertised as fitting the 1000, 2000 & 3000 PSPs, but I bought it for someone who owns a 1003, and the screws didn't line up at all. Read more

PSP 3000
Might be ok for psp 1000 and 2000 but don`t bother if you have psp 3000 because it`s like your psp is on a sea saw.

Nice bit of kit.
As a person with relatively large hands, i don't think i was alone in finding the Sony PSP to be a bit small and could cause discomfort if you played for too long. Read more
