Hardware PS Vita Battery 3000 mAh MOD

[squiddymute]

I did this mod with a 4500mah battery. Charging takes 8hours , continuous playtime with uncharted golden abyss, 40% brightness and wifi on lasted for 4h 20m. I have read similar posts all arround and I'm starting to think that this mod will not wok as intended for some unknown reason.

i had a second battery , i resoldered the board of the official battery to the 2nd one which is also 4500mah. I still get the same results.

Conclusion: these batteries are CRAP, do not buy them. My ps vita 2000 lasted 5hours with continuous play with the 2200mah battery while the ps vita 1000 with the so called "4500mah" battery barely made it to 4h 30m. Stay away from chinese batteries they are not what they claim to be.

Very interesting mod!
I have some questions about the mod:
- As far as I know the original battery works at 3.7v whereas the Samsung galaxy / Note's batteries works at 3.85v. This difference in the voltages could produce any damage to the vita's battery controller or the console itself?
- Would you recommend Li-Ion batteries, used in cellphones, over the cheap yellow Li-Po found on eBay?
Thanks
