Ebay
EBay has a large offering of Pandora batteries available to consumers, and they also have a few ways of purchasing one. You can "Buy It Now," which means you purchase the battery for the seller's set price. You can also try an eBay auction and try to pick up a Pandora battery for a lesser price. Make sure you buy from an accredited seller as some are offering fake batteries that can and will damage your PSP.
Pandora Battery Buys
Another place to purchase Pandora batteries is the Pandora Battery Buys site. As of 2009, you could purchase a Pandora battery on this site for as little as $7.99. For that price you get the standard battery. For more money, you can also get a Pandora battery with LED lights, which gives your PSP even more flare, literally. They offer both "Slim" and "Phat" PSP batteries. They also have Pandora kits available that include the Pandora battery and the Magic Memory Stick. With this kit you are able to downgrade the firmware of any PSP currently on the market, allowing you to install all the user-created content you want.
Unaccredited Sites
There are a other websites that offer Pandora batteries and Magic Memory Sticks, but they have yet to be rated by consumers so until they are, using them could mean taking a risk.
You can also make a Pandora battery yourself. If you have another PSP running custom firmware or if you have an extra battery, you can soft-mod the battery in order to put it into service mode. Soft-moding involved taking the battery apart and disconnecting one of five pins on the battery circuit board. It is actually very easy, but you lose the ability to turn the battery back into a normal battery.
