Batteries uses in mod. Any questions welcome!

So i just recently replaced my vita oled 1001. In my research I haven't seen anything different about the batteries. Just different batteries for the 1000 and 2000 model.

This is the battery I purchased. Been using it a lot. Looks almost identical to the original battery. Took 10 minutes to replace and works great def recommend. No issue with vita memory card I believe the Sony cards have an issue degrading over time which is most likely the issue. Don't think the battery would make a difference.

So it turns on with the charger plugged in? Does it show any sign of power? Make sure you fiddle around with it when you're going to see it in person, check if it looks like its been tampered with.

If its not been tampered with and you don't mind spending the $40 that's a damn good deal.
Is it easy to fix? Yes if you're good with simple tools and careful and know how to follow instructions.

8/10 is a good score. The higher ifixit gives a hardware product the easier it is to fix so yes.

As of this post 12/26/2014 this ps vita battery on amazon is $30.

Via iFixit
> The battery is secured to the back case with a pair of Phillips #00 screws and... well that's it. There's no adhesive!
> The Vita's battery runs at a standard 3.7 V and packs an impressive 2210 mAh punch.

From the looks of ifixit getting to the battery is a very simple and easy fix.

The Vita is a very good handheld device if you're a casual gamer. You can find some good games here and I'm sure you can find a lot of suggestions here as well

there goes the simple solutions now u may have to do a bit of a teardown to check connections from the battery pack to the vita and ensure solid connections and or replace battery pack

at least amazon sells the battery pack and prime too lol

You can try looking for deals for a Vita TV since it has less parts that you'd normally expect to degrade over time and usage (screen, battery, buttons and analog sticks).

An extra battery or two won't hurt either.

P.S. I bought a spare battery for my Vita when I had been getting that low battery notification issue months ago. I thought the battery was already on its last leg, but it turned out that I just had to pop my Vita open and reconnect the battery to fix the glitch :P

Have one in my 1000 works fantastic.

It's totally worth it. Super cheap and easy to do as well!

I'd suggest not selling it, and instead buying a new battery instead. There is plenty of them out there and they are cheap and easy to replace.

Take a look at this one on Amazon.

I got the Red Japan-exclusive PS Vita for pretty cheap off of eBay, but the only hurdle I had to get around was replacing the battery. If you don't know how to replace them, or are extremely nervous with doing it, I highly don't recommend getting an OG Vita unless you know someone who's willing to replace the battery for you.

Reason I'm mentioning the battery in the first place is because old Vita handhelds drain super fast, and have a lot of battery errors like going into sleep mode because it thinks it has no battery, when in reality it does.

You can buy a replacement battery for cheap off of Amazon, and it works like a charm once it's installed. Good luck, happy shopping~
