Mine do, same with my DualShock 3s. I'm a weirdo though, I charge them every 6 months to maintain the batteries like I do with all my handhelds and wireless controllers.
no, batteries last a very long time if you don’t use them at all, 1 year ago my friend found a sealed HP PDA from 2004, it had a battery with almost no capacity wear
@@XJleBuSheKyou do realize batteries are prone to completely dying from no use over long periods of time like that? You got lucky with a good, old battery
@@capemron6330Dude, Dualshock 3's are no joke. You can get like thirty hours on a single charge (also worth mentioning that a lot of game campaigns on PS3 are like half of that, so you can beat a game without ever needing to charge your controller), while PS4 and PS5 controllers don't even last half of that!
you ever watch a vid and go "oh yeah. this channel's going places" and you feel kinda special for finding it in it's infancy? i feel that rn. masterfully done video.
You had two chargers connected at the same time, both powering the PSP; bad idea. Definitely caused over-voltage, or at least too much amperage going through the whole thing at the same time...
It uses a psp battery because they have drm on them. It doesn't work with any old battery. Those chinese ones use chips that fool the system but i imagine the madcatz battery wasn't aware a 2200mah battery existed
2 batteries connected together in parallel will Equalizer the voltage to the same amount between both batteries However if 1 battery is totally dead, it will flatten the second battery trying to level out both voltages. I hope your battery is recoverable after a few charges in theory , I hope. If not I'm sorry man
That MadCatz thing has to be running both internal battery and the one you insert into it parallel, and if that's the case, since the internal battery in this thing is probably cooked after sitting in storage for so long, when you inserted your battery into it, the fully charged external battery tried to equalize the voltage with the dead internal one, and the internal battery just drained the shit out of external one (that's why when you make parallel li-ion battery packs it's usually a good idea to make sure that the batteries involved are of simillar voltage within 0.1v). So maybe if you could jumpstart your ostent battery with some kind of external li-ion charger it could spring back to life. I'm not sure though, that's just a theory.
You probably triggered some protection in the battery. I tried connecting a similar battery of the same brand to a STEM Toy with a fan motor. The fan ended up cutting paper lol and tried to connect it to something else and it didn't work. The battery ended up working later after "charging" it with the PSP.
I still have my Datel MAX Media Player 4GB HDD for DS/DS Lite. It was a pathetic precursor to the R4, M3, DSTWO, Supercard, etc. But picking up a used one for $30 in 2007 was still special for giving my DS Lite MP3 and video support, and the 4GB was really spacious for the era. Always wanted one of the newer flash cards though because they’re so much better than the MAX media and run the DS’ best NES/SNES/Genesis/TG16/NeoGeo/ScummVM emulators
You compelled me to buy a psp this week after your videos popped up. Bought an IPS modded 1000 off one of the most reputable sellers on eBay. Sadly there was an eyelash and dust behind the screen and the screw is super stripped above the memory stick! Big sad, gonna return it and try again.. do you have any sellers you could recommend?
you can fix that yourself, use a bigger screw bit. the bezel comes off easy then just blow the screen with compressed air. or hell you can mod it yourself it doesn't need any soldering
A year or so ago I got a GameBoy Color rechargeable grip battery pack. I got it thinking it be an awesome project to replace the old batteries in it with newer ones and so on
You should look into getting a Slitit or ZipIt package opener instead of taking a knife to everything. I always wanted a PSP 3000 MHB for the ergonomics but when that was new, I was too young to afford importing it.
I didn't know that was a thing! Thanks for the recommendation. Some day I'll get one of those Monster Hunter PSPs... Alot of fakes and reproductions out there now :(
How you charged the two batteries seems like what caused the problems As per the harddrive... is it possible to put something over that ribbon cable? Is it possible to upgrade that harddrive?
Yea... Charging everything at once wasn't my best idea lol. As for the HDD Ive tried to remove it from the board but it just won't budge. Not sure what I would be able to replace it with tbh. It's hard to beat micro SD to memory stick duo adapters.
Try disassembling the batteries and pushing their banks with an external power supply, + to +, - to -, PSP batteries have a controller, that does not allow them to come out of deep discharge.
I'm gonna warn you and everyone reading this right now and maybe they can be proactive on it: When you get arthritis finally, you WILL think the PSP 1000 is impossible to use. When you have the condition, it isn't ergonomic, it's painful and completely unplayable. If you think your hands are starting to get old SELL YOUR 1000 AND BUY A 2000/3000! Best PSP choice in my life.
oh nooooo madcatz what the heck what why wouldn't they put a charge management controller in their battery why would you ever expose a player's own battery to raw unfiltered power what the heck madcatz whyyyyyy
I'll just tack these items out of their packaging and expect them to work without bothering to charge them first. Man the naivety is strong with this one. I couldn't help but to face palm every time he brought something else out and connected it to the PSP without charging and testing it first and then wonder why his own battery was drained to death by this ancient and obviously dead system. Kids these days are proving time and again the potential future of (seemingly actual present) Idiocracy.
I fucking love psps, the resolution is disgusting after working in an office with proper PCs though. It could be your battery got drained below nominal by other batteries. The madcatz could have been "stealing" voltage. I have 3004. Still works, original battery.
RIP ostent battery

Batteries would be like 18 years old. No wonder they don’t hold a charge anymore

@@Schnell_Things THICC IT DEF WAS 🍑
Too much amperage? Wont the device use as many amps as it needs?
As for overvoltage youd have to put the adapters in series
Leave it to MadCatz to brick a battery
this like bringus studios and dankpods this is crazy
my thoughts exactly
someguy cloned them into one person and uh made a youtube channel for it

There's a way of essentially jump starting old batteries, usually used on power tool batteries that won't charge
NiCD and NiMH are entirely different technologies to lithium ion
I’ve pet sematary’d lithium batteries before and it’s quite the dice roll. Usually they begin their puffy decay by doing that.
That is SO much better. Better lighting especially
“we’re making it thicker”
“okay let’s start by gutting this hard drive and putting a useless piece of plastic on it”
i can tell you have a lot of inspiration from dankpods and i love it
Print some grips for that bad boy to make it even bigger.
Dang, that battery has some junk in its trunk. Mad Catz, the ultimate purveyor of thicc.
I’m in utter shock wtf mate
