When the processor power, system specs and hardware feature set of Sony’s
debut entry into the handheld gaming market was announced back at E3 2003, the
first question on everybody’s mind was, “How long will this sucker last?” With
multiple processors (including a 32-bit MIPS core running at a max of 333MHz), a
moving disc medium for software, 802.11b WiFi connectivity, a giant 480×272
screen, USB and infrared ports, and Memory Stick support, the whole total
package seems more apt to be plugged into your home theater system than tossed
into a backpack for play at bus stops.
Most PSP user so far have been using
the PSP for general use, mixing formats and trying different features. For exact
results on what it is that drains the PSP’s battery the most, testers have gone
back over most of the system’s features and put the handheld through intensive
tests to drain its power in very specific ways. They designed unique
circumstances to isolate specific features of the unit and see what it is that
takes the most out of its runtime, as well as experimented with different
features to find out how battery life might be maximized by players.
The
test results are obvious. In hard performance test, the game is played on PSP
for 3 hours and 32 minutes. In PSP
WiFi test, PSP was battery dead after 2 hours and 46 minutes.
In PSP MP3 test, it lasted for more than 10 hours, and in sleep mode, more than
a day.
So we can draw our conclusion that WiFi connection drain power badly
even more than games, and sleep mode hardly use power; in comparison, listen
music can last quite a long time than most MP3 players. And how to extend PSP battery life according to
this?
1.Use Wifi only necessarily required(in most times, turn it
off)
2.Play less games, listen more music(if you prefer to)
3.Different
games have different impact on battery life
4.Using sleep mode, off-screen as
much as you can
5.Compared to the standard 1200mah battery, the old fat
1800mah battery is more advantageous
You don’t need to spend another 50 bucks for Sony’s newly released 2200mah
battery which should be included in PSP Slim in the first place. A specially
designed PSP Battery Cover fits perfectly with 1800mah
battery and your PSP2000/Slim. More choice for PSP accessories at http://www.souricngmap.com,
