The way to properly break in a lithium Ion battery is to run it dead before you recharge it. Then fully recharge it and run it until it's dead again. Do this about 3-5 times and then the battery is properly broken in. If you charge it before it dies on a new battery you can build what they call a "memory" where the battery thinks it's fully charged however it's only maybe half charged and you will lose alot of life out of your battery. So make sure you properly break it in.

Try keeping your psp battery in a dry place for a day,then try charging.If this doesn't work..
Try the following:
a) Try charging using a usb cable...
c)Also try cleaning the usb port and power port or the place were u connect the charger to psp...
b) Remove ur psp battery and plug in the charger and turn on the psp... When it turns on put the battery back in (do not turn off the switch or psp when u put the battery back in)...

I just got a PSP 1001. The battery it came with was dead, so we put a new battery in and plugged it into the charger. The charge light would not come on. We took my boyfriend's PSP and put the battery into...
It's probably a factory defect, but you just got it so I would just take it back and get it exchanged.

My sanyo pm 8200 wont hold charge!
Hello,

Since the battery and charger are new and yet it does not still hold charge.

Have put the battery in another similar phone and try to charge with your charger to see if it will hold charge? if you have.

It means the charging port of your phone is bad and you will need to replace it.

The charger is not charging the battery in anyway because the charging port is bad, so just change your charging port, your phone will now hold charge.

Take care.

Psp wont charge or hold a charger
It could be a bad battery or you can check under the psp if you can turn it on and make sure that under Settings > System Settings > USB Charge is set to on. If it is and it isn't charging then it's a bad battery.

New psp will not charge
If you have multi meter at home make sure that voltage is coming from the adapter.

if the psp have some battery backup check the battery level when u put on charge...

Go to Settings>> System Settings>> Battery Information>>

If you dont have the equipments to check go your nearest electronic service center or sony showroom. Take your charger with the psp so that they can find out the exact problem

Ok i just bought a new psp slim battery and a new charger and my psp wont charge and i dont know what to do but, i do have a psp slim 2001 (ice silver) and i bought a psp charger and battery thats 2000 so...
this is easy i solved it! buy a charger from gamestop that you have to take the battery out and then put it in the charger and charge it that way! that way if your fuse inside your psp is out it will charge the battey without putting it in the psp so all you do with the item is: take your battery out, put it in the alternative charger from gamestop (does not come with psp slim 2001 or 2000) plug the charger in the while charge the battery then bam!! there you go problem solved have a fun time playing your psp!

Brand new psp battery will not charge
Did you charge it first? You need a good initial charge. Depending on the charger, it could be about 6 hours.

Also, remove the battery and check the metal contacts on the top and make sure that they are not covered by anything. Some come with a film to protect them.
