Warning: Could be a ticking bomb
While I had this product it seems to work great, I used it on flights, road trips and about anytime I needed an extra couple hours of gaming. Then one night while I had it charging I woke up startled after hearing a loud pop. It turns out one of the batteries in this thing exploded, leaving a large black powder stain on my desk (it cleaned up pretty easily) and throwing small pieces of plastic all over my room (some of them went ~11 feet where they were stopped by my door!). I'm just glad nothing in my room was broken and the psp-charger wasn't damaged. I don't want to even imagine what might have happened had this thing exploded in my laptop bag, or even worse in my pocket! I've now just decided to stick with sony branded batteries and trying to make it to save points before doing a battery swap.
PSP Core Gamer External Battery
When I first plugged in the PSP Core Gamer External Battery, it worked great. The recharging Amber light was on and working. After 15 minutes it was off. I thought maybe my PSP was fully charged. I tuned on my PSP and saw that there were only 2 battery bars. I thought maybe I didn't charge the PSP Core long enough. I charged it for about 2 hours. Same thing. Maybe it takes a long time to charge. I charged it for 16 hours just to make sure. I plugged it into my PSP and only got 15 minutes of charge time. I left my PSP on to drain the battery. Same thing. 15 minutes of charge time. This is junk. Don't get it. Even if mine was a dud, there will be others. Another reviewer said his was a dud too. I can't find a good portable rechager. I had a portable rechager call PSP Power Block and that worked great. I can't find it again.
It's Great to Wait 3 Days to Get a Dud
I ordered this in hopes that it would arrive before a long plane trip. Well, it did and I charged it up overnight. However, when I connect it to my PSP, it does nothing, so I was sitting on the plane with no power.
I would very much like it if the products from this company worked. However, my friend had the same problem happen with his unit. I thought I could skimp on the accessories and get good performance, but now I will only go with name brand products and not take chances anymore with these low-quality plastic bricks.
