How to Charge a Pandora Battery

Third-party Pandora batteries can be used to power the Sony PSP (PlayStation Portable) gaming system. They are highly sought after for their ability to install custom firmware and homebrew applications which are user-made programs and games available on the Internet. Most Sony-brand PSP batteries can also be opened up and modified to behave like a Pandora battery. A Pandora battery has no effect on battery life or game playing; it simply offers the ability to run programs that would not normally work on any PSP system. Charging a Pandora battery is effectively the same as charging a PSP battery, but occasionally difficulties can arise.
