Is there anyway to deflate an OLD PSP battery? It won't fit anymore.

>>712450984 (OP)
just poke a hole in it with something sharp and squeeze the excess air out, works every time for me

>>712450984 (OP)
Serious answer: No. That shit is dead. You will not be able to make it work again, and if you try, there's a serious chance it will burn you and/or hit you with toxic smoke. Throw that shit away now.

>>712450984 (OP)
You can buy a new one that's bigger (battery life, not size) online for like $20. At least I did like 15 years ago when you still had to have a jigkick memory stick+Pandora's battery to crack it.

>>712450984 (OP)
Just solder in a 3000mah battery and call it a day.

>>712450984 (OP)
Get a new one. Don't even try to use it. If it bulges and cracks it's joever.

>>712450984 (OP)
That shit's dead.
Get yourself an Ostent battery.

>>712450984 (OP)
Yeah you use that as a grenade to kill someone who owns a PSP and take their battery

>>712450984 (OP)
Try poking it with a screwdriver.

>>712450984 (OP)
retards will tell you to throw it away, retards don't know that you should save the board inside before throwing away the cell
best thing you can do is buy a quality cell off aliexpress and solder it to the board
second best thing is getting an ostent battery

>>712450984 (OP)
Throw that thing in the ocean where it belongs

>>712451390
how do you properly dispose of old batteries anyways? would the garbage truck dudes even pay attention if I put it in a box and label "DANGER: BATTERIES"? I have a handful of dead 12v PSU batteries I haven't gotten rid of because I don't know how

>>712451860
if you're buying a new battery why not just buy a battery with the right board to begin with?

>>712451992
Throw them in the ocean or a river

>>712451860
>just learn how to solder bro
fuck off

>>712451992
throw it out in the ocean

>>712452085
>>712452106
nah

>>712451992
Mail them to a random address with no return address, not your problem anymore

>>712452096
>not doing it just to get a good whiff of melting solder

>>712451992

Why do PSP battery packs bloat when they die anyway?

>>712451992
Where I live we have "ecocenters" where you can dispose of items that don't belong in regular trash, not conventionally recyclable (i.e.: paper, glass, metal), not compostable.

>>712450984 (OP)
it happens man. shit happend with mine too. Just go on Amazon and buy one

>>712451992
There should be some place in your city that takes special e-waste like batteries
If you live in a tiny town in bumfuck nowhere then I guess chuck it in the normal trash and forget about it

>>712452354
because they need to be charged constantly. this only happens when they lose the charge for an extended period of time

>>712452294
I know it's super useful like for changing mice microswitches but fuck man to me that sounds like telling someone to learn microvoltage electronicts just to repair their own video cards.

WHOAAA THAT'S ONE HECKIN' SPICY PILLOW YOU GOT THERE, OP!

Ask your mum

>>712452354
Its not just PSP batteries

>>712452354
look up how recharge-able batteries work

I check on my Go every few months and it's still shockingly fine. I pulled the batteries from my other stuff, found some in my boxed neo geo pocket color too but thankfully they hadn't popped.

Guess I'll have to email the garbage collector company. Thank you.

>>712452354
All rechargeable batteries do that when they die. They'll only stop when we switch tinceramic batteries if that tech ever catches up to lithium ion storage capacity. As for why, I don't know. I'm not a battery chemist.

>>712450984 (OP)
just flatten it back, get a hammer and start pounding on it, trust me I'm an engineer

as long as the port isn't damaged you can just replace the battery

>>712452594
op should film this live as well for...reasons

>>712451992
Microwave it to neutralize the iodes in the battery and then it's safe to bin

>>712451992
are you a Europoor?

>>712452489
Soldering is a basic skill every man should have in the modern day.

>>712451992
this happend to my psp a decade ago. I threw it in the trash and said good luck. hope it doesn't explode, and then forgot about it.

>>712452920
>the battery
>not the psp

>>712451264
I got banned on /diy/ for suggesting this

>>712452990
This made me laugh more than the post you are replying to

>>712452990
I wonder why. . .

My PSP battery hasn't swelled yet.
But what the fuck am I meant to do when it does? They don't appear to be selling new batteries. I quite like my PSP, would be sad if it turned into a useless brick.

>>712452990
let me guess you told someone to make mustard gas as a kid too

how the fuck are batteries not banned from plane rides when they can just explore/catch on fire whenever?

>>712453146
why would you trust airlines?

>>712452489
Bro, you're just creating a conductive connection. Its not fucking brain surgery.

>>712453146
>plane rides
are you a stupid kid or an esl?

>>712452876
True. Where the fuck do I learn?

>>712453146
because banning batteries means banning phones, tablets, laptops and all sorts of shit that people use all day every day and nobody's going to fly with you if you don't let them take those onboard

Glad I got the PSA to check my old PSP a couple months ago, the battery was indeed inflated. I got a replacement from Aliexpress for a couple bucks, RIP you beautiful bastard.

>>712453403
but... muh safety?

>>712453146
Why am I allowed to take 2 wood sticks on a plane if I can use them to create a fire?

>>712453353

>>712451992
just dig a hole out innawoods and bury them. literally who cares

>>712453683
I'd rather you figure it out yourself for funzies

>>712452025
because aftermarket batteries are shit and don't have proper board inside, they usually ship with bad cells too so that's why they last 30 mins on average
by saving the sony board and replacing the cell you're basically getting a genuine battery

>>712452096
>>712452489
don't ask how to repair electronics then? if you're not willing to do it properly then don't be a retard about it

>>712453750
Fine. No shirts with front pockets.

>>712453812
that's welding you dick head

>>712451992
Just throw them away? As soon as the garbage truck drives away it's not your problem anymore.

Im sorry anon, but no.
In fact, you have to find a way to dispose of this safely. This is practically now a bag filled with acid ready to burst that might react if it comes in contact with water or oxygen.
If you want to play with your PSP, you will have to find a new one that can be accomodated to your PSPs model, or say goodbye to your PSP.
I pretty much lost mine this way, mine inflated until it stopped working, then whenever i tried to find a new one the only ones available would be second hand used batteries, sometimes they weren't even for the same model. This is important, some batteries for some models are bulkier, so they don't really fit and hold in place properly.
Im not even sure if they still manufacture some of these, unless it is from an obscure chinese/taiwanese factory.

>>712453949
just give me an aftermarket off brand

you can literally go on Amazon and buy a cheap replacement battery for your psp

fuck off with your fearmongering, fagboy. This is not a dinky little psp battery.

>>712450984 (OP)
if they replaced lithium batteries with uranium cells this wouldnt be a problem

>>712453949
The battery on my smart phone started pillowing, with the screen becoming slightly detached, and I used it for like a week before my gf told me it was dangerous

Threw mine across the street cause it caught fire. Its the other sides problem now.

It's 'an', not 'a', as the word "Indian" starts with a spoken vowel.

i have same issue. what should i do?

Get a TS100, some leaded solder, some wick and some flux and start practicing.

never go to India guiz it's a shit hole, and so are their shitty outsourced games

>>712454298
A PSP battery is enough to start a housefire if the conditions are right. And a PSP battery is also going to fart a bunch of toxic gasses out.

>>712451992
throw it in some body of water, like an ocean or a lake

>>712450984 (OP)
this is actually common sadly

my battery suffered the same fate. luckily it didn't damage anything

>>712453754
a better question for mr dunning & mr kruger here is why the fuck are you SOLDERING cells?
SPOT WELD nigger, this shit's basic

>>712453949
bah so what are a few dump fires caused by psp batteries, 90% of the shit surrounding it will put out the flames.

>>712452990
Must have put a few mods in the hospital.

>>712452797
no, american

>>712452990
at least you didn't tell them how to make rock candy

>>712456893
just throw it in the trash.

>>712456654
we can only hope

makes me wonder what happens when all our chinese devices sitting in the house end up with bloated batteries
It seems like an asbestos kind of thing where as long as you dont disturb it it wont kill you/burn your house down

>>712452354
Lithium batteries kinda suck. Not just PSP, I think it's LiPo (polymer) is popular in general for swelling.

Best pro-tip is never store them away with a full battery charge. Drain them down to around 40% if you're really not going to use it for a while. New gadgets have software mitigations for long-term use like capping charges @ 80% max, use though for your other devices.

Sadly I lost my 3dsXL battery to swelling after years of non-use. Had to pluck that shit out.
