Hi,
I just wondered if any of you know what is best to keep your battery working for longer,
is it best to wait for it to empty before recharging
or
is it best to never let it deplete and charge it many times per day
thanks |

For example, never leave your PSP in extreme heat or cold. Try to leave your PSP in a dry environment (good for PSP hardware and battery). Don't use after-market chargers. Do not leave your PSP's battery totally depleted for extended periods of time. Do not leave the charger in the PSP for extended periods of time when it's fully charged.
