- Part 2 is meant for a 1000 vita but still applies. don't use the battery fixer app anymore, just turn the vita off for 2 minutes to make the vita check the batteries status.
Part 2: • PS Vita 1000 Classic B...
LiPo batteries, the batteries I use to mod, only last 1-3 years. This mod makes replacing a modded battery easy. Imagine every time you battery dies, you need to pull out the soldering iron - not with this mod. With this replaceable Battery Mod you can just buy a 3.7v battery with a JST plug and the vita will clip to it.
With this mod you can also charge multiple batteries and change them out for a full battery on the go. (Bring a screwdriver)
For this mod you need supplies:
PlayStation Vita WifI or a converted 3G (PCI removed)
Lithium Polymer (LiPo) battery
I'm using a 105060 3300mAh (actually has 3750mAh),
105060 means 10mm thick, 50mm wide, 60mm long
Battery should come with a battery protection board
Battery should come with a JST 2.0 male plug

10k thermistor within 1% and B value between 3350 and 3450

JST 2.0 female connector with wire.
Get both male and female if your battery doesn't have one
Use a different connector if you prefer! (Let me know!)

Solder 60/40 Rosin Core
Flux Paste (or your preferred flux)
Electrical Tape
For this mod you need tools:
Phillips #00 precision screwdriver
Wire Strippers (or a way to strip wires)
Pliers or something to pry/break plastic
Soldering Iron (Any with a large tip, clean)
Razor Blade or another plastic scraping or sanding tool
Battery mod based on the battery mods I found 2020.
Tested many orientation and discovered how the battery works and doesn't work - how it failed others. Part 2 is on how to use a modded battery.
I have currently tested this method on 12 previous vitas all of which I own and use for testing. I have run many more than 36 tests on all 5 original vitas running Minecraft (36x5=180 tests) before suggesting battery mod validity.
Doing this mod alone will get you 10-10.5 hours of 333mhz (depending on how much you let it sleep and correct it's battery % or turn off 2 minutes). Making sure you get 10.5 hours will require a battery read reset. (Part 2 • PS Vita 1000 Classic B... )
You need to force the vita to check the actual battery % sometimes. The vita checks it's battery % and corrects itself normally at random times or you can turn the vita off 2 minutes to force it to correct.

Seems tempting just for the larger capacity. Maybe soon. Great video!
why dont you use the control board from the original battery and replace it on the new one? wont work?
You can use the original protection board if you want. The battery I installed has it's own protection board. Don't install 2 protection boards.
If you use the original battery protection board it has all 3 needed wires and has it's own thermistor. Don't install another thermistor, 2 thermistor won't work.
I did the battery mod this way so all future battery replacement is just to clip in a battery using the very common connector. The connector is the JST-PH 2.0 also known as the "tiny whoop".
Most LiPo batteries come with a charge protection board and the pst-ph 2.0 connector.
Another great video, I might do it on my slim vita
Thanks dude, I use the links you provide, and works like a charm
Ohhh boy how I wanted this
Thanks for the enthusiasm!!
In order to get the full 10-11 hours on a charge you need to do the button combo from the pinned comment every 5-6 hours and also after charging. Still has the same battery countdown issue as the 1000.
Software issue - hopefully someone will fix it some day.
@@anderxale1 My 2000 still holds quite well for my needs by now, but I'm pretty sure I'll need to replace the battery someday.
Seeing that it's possible to change the Slim's battery to add a bigger one on it makes me very happy cuz I thought it didn't had enough space to fit a bigger one, and you managed to put almost 4000mAh on it by accident, that's crazy XD
I don't have any equipment by now, and I'm pretty much just watching videos like these cuz I find it really interesting (and also cuz they WILL be useful in the future, seeing that lithium batteries don't last forever)
Thank you for the awesome job! I'll keep following your content, and I'll probably try doing this on my 2000 blue aqua someday in the future :)
Thanks for these tutorials.
I gotta try them someday.
Wow. ORANGE COLOR. Kinda nice and unique.. But i still like the lime color..
Warning: This works but the battery read reset is harder than the OLED models (you can't just turn the Vita off 2 minutes).
To reset the battery you have to turn the Vita off, hold L1+PS+Start+Select and also hold Power for 15 seconds - the screen stays off. You know you did it right if when you turn the Vita on, you have to set the time and date. The battery will also be corrected.
If the Battery Fixer app ever gets updated for SLIMS, that would also work.
Is this battery reset something you have to do frequently?? I'm just trying to decide if I should mod mine. My battery is shot due to using a Nyko hand grip that extends the battery a tiny bit.
@@kyhassen So... It depends how much you use it. If you play an hour or four a day, it will probably fix the battery % while your vita sleeps or is off and you won't notice.
If you want to play 9 hours straight and the Vita doesn't fix it's battery, then you have to turn it off and do the button combo at about 5 hours in (before 20%).
Do the button combo after charging if you are playing while charging (because you charge past what the vita thinks is 100 and the reading needs reset). Charging while off until full won't need the combo.
It's not as easy to use as the OLED battery mod...
@@kyhassen Oh, and you can do this mod with a 2500-2200mAh battery and the Vita will work normal. It's only hard to get the full capacity of you try for a large battery.
@@anderxale1 I don't think I'd ever crack 5 hours in one go but a bigger battery sounds better haha. A couple of hours here and there mostly. Overall it looks fairly easy to do with how you explained and showed in the video.
I never bothered with the OLED Model. I imported a Dragon Quest Vita and I love it. I did soft mod it and use the SD2Vita a while back but having to play while it's plugged in sucks. Kinda made me put it to the side and I never use it anymore.
Also thank you for the quick reply.
I JUST got that vita the other week! The slime icon on the up direction in the dpad. It's an awesome vita!
Easy:
If you get a vita slim 2000 replacement battery off Amazon or elsewhere on the Internet you should be back to 6+ hours between charges. That battery should be pretty good for a year and usually they come with the screwdriver needed to open. Probably need another in a year or so though - not great quality batteries perform the same as good quality when new.
The batteries that I'm using in these mods are also poor quality. Last maybe 1-3 years. That's why the clip, replace it easily.
The original vita batteries were great quality, but "new" batteries now are always fakes that will die in a year or two.
Hello my ps vita can only be charged with ps4 and cannot be charged with its own charger and power bank and mobile charger, what is the reason?
why do you suggest to not use the battery fixer app? does it not work? also is there a permanent way to solve the battery issue so i dont have to turn the vita off and reset it?
i have the slim if it matters
Battery fixer app was for the OLED models and won't work for the slim. Vita battery mods are still janky and slim is extra janky because there is no forced battery reset.
Only way is to turn it off for a bit and hope it reset.
My Vita that I modded still works. Randomly the battery will jump up higher, but it's not reliable. Charging while off (or asleep) is the only way to be sure to fill the battery completely.
Very imperfect mod.
ah i see. thank you for still replying even years later to these questions. 😁
@@loud_shitting Cheers! :)
So I couldn't find the stock battery replacement with reasonable price anywhere in my area, i trued online but the shipping fee is anywhere from $200-$300, so i kept looking and came across a battery replacement for some wifi device which has same specifications as the vita battery like 3.7v and 2200mAh and three wires with ground, i thought to replace the battery by soldering the wires but the only question i have is do i need to solder a thermistor to the board or should i just replace normally?
It will probably work... Most battery thermistors are 10k ohm. The difference may be how much the resistance changes with the temperature change.
It will probably work but might be extra temperature sensitive or not sensitive enough.
Will that affect performance?
@@mobi92392 If the thermistor is too sensitive then the Vita may trun off unexpectedly by getting warm or cold. If not sensitive enough it could charge while too hot and become a fire danger.
It might work perfectly too!
If you use that battery with it's thermistor, I would just be sure to charge it at a comfortable room temperature.
Performance won't be affected at all by a different thermistor.
Hey think we could put a 6in screen in the 2k , like image no borders 🤔🤔
It would be awesome! I don't know anything about displays...
I'm absolutely sure it's possible. But it's out of my current ability.
Hey I know it's off topic, but I bought a pink Vita from Japan and the plastic is really yellowed, do you think that hair peroxide "retrobright" method would make it nice and pink again?
Sorry, I have no experience with fixing yellowing. I will painting them eventually, not restoring the original color. :(
Good luck!
yes it will. use 3% peroxide + good amount of UV is usually enough. check every 2 hours and repeat process to get better result
I wonder if there are any other compact batteries to get even more mAh into my slim vita
Hahaha nice! This is the absolute largest I could find and still make the battery replaceable (clip in)
If you don't do the clip (need to solder every time you need a new battery, every 3 years) you might be able to fit 10mm by 70mm by 50mm.
I would suggest being patient though, batteries are increasing capacity soon with solid state batteries (they keep promising). Aluminum Air batteries for instance will be smaller, lighter, and able to charge more times.
@@anderxale1 Hey! Did you have the chance to test a 107050? I was wondering about doing this mod for my second-hand slim Vita which has an old battery, if it works I won't care as much about replaceability as I will about max capacity.
@@Worldwave I have only done the slim battery mod once - so I've never done a battery that size.
SLIM vitas are not as easy to battery read reset as the OLEDs - as I recently found out trying to test. I have a pinned comment on this video explaining how to use the full battery capacity if you are still interested. You have to set the time every time.
@@anderxale1 Thanks for the reply. Yeah I saw it. Hoping for a software fix someday
@@Worldwave There is room in the OLED for more than just a battery... I'm going to make the OLED think it's always plugged in and charged (even though it's on battery). I'll have to add a small board and 2 small components.
If successful, I'll try to find room in the SLIM, there is a LITTLE room in that black plastic guard.
To tell how charged a battery is, you push a button and lights turn on (4 if full, 1 if needs charge).
What would happen if you just plug in higher capacity without any mod?
Good thing I have 1k version.

@@anderxale1 Yes I know of it as I watched all of your videos. Im still waiting for more tests for stable, reliable battery mod. Without risk of bricking battery and for ps vita to read energy percentages corretly etc.
@@ChiefJudge Thanks so much for watching the content and understanding!!
I should update part 2 again as it makes no sense to potentially 'soft brick' by using the battery fixer app anymore. No soft-brisk risk if you don't use that vpk.
The incorrect % is annoying... and holds many back from trying this. I hope someone takes up that software issue soon.
did u notice an improvement in screen time
Doing a new time lapse video really soon.
Do you do send in battery replacement services?
Sorry, I guess I missed this comment before. I'm not currently doing send-in services, thanks for the inquiry! :)
Thoughts on doing a ps vita type c mod in the future as well?
I just shot a USB C video for OLED that needs editing, I'm looking at a couple possibilities for SLIM.
@@anderxale1 You are amazing. Thanks for the content.
Is the solder free method going to make this obsolete?
No! I prefer the soldering. It's cleaner for adding more mods (like faster charging)
@@anderxale1 But this is an option for people who want an easier mod right?
Yes!
Also soldering is scary and requires extra tools/knowledge.
Would u be doing more slim vita’s?
Eventually! I have another battery that isn't as large to add additional mods like usb-c and LR buttons.
More 1000 videos first.
Quick charging might not be possible for the 2000 unless I can find the right size battery.
@@anderxale1 is the fast charging for the 1000 ready ??
A few weeks, sorry
Helo sir i need your help with my ps vita my ps vita don't want to charge i try disconnect and connect the battery it again and again but it will not charge i try charge it i get 2 orange light for 1 second and it stop what i notice is PC recognize is vita but not charge and i let it disconnect yesterday for 1 day and when i try connect it again to the bored it work i get so happy i try put everything together so i can close the back of the vita it stop charging again i really don't knew what to do :(
Will the Vita turn on?
Have you done a battery mod?
@@anderxale1 yes it will after switch the battery to one have charge but both i cant charge them in this vita but inside another vita they work fine
@@anderxale1 no i didn't do any mod is original battery and i watch all the videos in internet i couldn't find help and i notice u good at it so i was thinking maybe u know how to fix it
@@0554882565
My questions are just for diagnose the problem if I can.
Are these Vita Slim or OLED? The other Vita will charge both batteries?
@@anderxale1 both OLED the one working fine is the 3g the bad one is the Wifi it was good until yesterday
Did you notice if the vita gets hotter with this mod?
No issue or change with heat! I tested max overclocking from full until the battery died and it was ok (to make sure the battery is ok with the Vita's hottest). I had to know with overclocking before I told people how.
Also. The battery mod has a real problem with software. It reads the battery % incorrectly and will go into sleep before the battery is empty.
The Vita needs to be turned off for a few minutes to force the Vita to read it's battery.
Mister Leg & Mister Wire )))
you also do requests? like do the job for the ppl for a prize?
A few people have requested mod ideas, that's why there is a 2000 battery mod and batteries are clip in. It's awesome when people bring good requests and suggestions! Do you have a video request?
If you ask am I selling them, not yet.
Eventually I'll sell vitas with pick and choose mods based on the videos - but I have a lot of video content first.
I have read that someone took their vita to a phone repair with all the pieces from a battery mod video and had the battery mod done.
@@anderxale1 i meant like can i send u both my vita 1000 and 2000 and that u do it for me. Ofcourse payment not a charity
Maybe some day I'll do it for monies.
I've been thinking about modding viewer's vitas as videos (full disect, clean, fix, and mod). I'll probably do that after 1000 subs or when I'm out of ideas.
I seriously have over 10 videos I'm trying to compose asap.
@@anderxale1 i so like the channel and i am considering doing the mods because i dont want to lose my vitas ever. They both are in almost new state .
Put a lot of protection on them. :) Save it for when you are ready.
I will do both of the battery mod videos again without soldering. It's an unprofessional, easy way to do it. It requires the destruction of a Vita battery, but right now batteries are easily replaceable. It would even be cool to use a broken battery.
I don't think the solder-less methods will be risky at all. Then you can decide later if you want it to be permanent. (You would still have to remove some inner plastic).
If I start doing viewer vitas, I'll ask if your vitas are still available or if you already modded them.
bro can i replace 10k thermistor with 10k resistor ???
good luck on getting a reply lol
Yes, but you will lose the heat protection for your battery. The thermistor keeps your vita from trying to charge your battery when it's too hot or cold.
@@anderxale1 question what if I were to remove both BMS but place the vita's battery BMS to the new battery I wouldn't need the thermistor right? because all the protection magic is on the board right?
@@kaosapprentice Yes, all is on that board. I never suggest soldering tabs on a battery directly because it's dangerous and is bad for the battery.
The battery leads require a special flux to solder... I don't know much about it. Acid or something?
I do have a video on taking the thermistor from an old vita battery.
@@anderxale1 thanks for the reply.
Didn't know battery tabs need special Flux, I did a battery mod to a 3ds xl I used what I had and it worked just fine, I basically did the same thing as I said in the other comment regarding the BMS, You have to use the BMS from the battery of the 3DS because if you just attach the other battery to the board directly you'll kill the ABXY board so I figured why not just bring the stock BMS to the new battery for the vita instead, that would solve needing to do all that extra work, I'll be careful not to heat up the battery when I do.
Speaker mod please?
Sorry, I don't know of better speakers for the slim yet. Some day for the 1000.
CAN I JUST SEND YUOU MY PS VITA!!!
Aww! Send in service would get so messy for me sorry! There will be a solder-free way in a few weeks. :)
@@anderxale1 i current usse solder free method now lol
@@anderxale1 solder-free tutorial LET F*****G GOOO!!! :D
@@jaretzuOmeku101 A few weeks away, sorry. I have a few videos in the making already.
In another comment you said a solder free mod. I thought this was solder free since this is clip in.
In this you need to solder the battery clip and a thermistor to the vita motherboard. Also true for the OLED "replaceable battery mod" video.
After the mod is soldered, all new batteries with the right clip can just clip in. No more soldering needed in the future. All batteries just clip in after the mod is complete.
The method with no soldering will instead destroy a Sony vita original battery. Replacement batteries will just clip in like the mod in this video. There will be annoying ugly wires. But in that mod there will be no soldering to install the mod at the beginning.
@@anderxale1 so what is the estimated time on the no solder mod?
This red blue vita video is taking me forever (over two weeks... I lost a 4 hour shot).
When red blue released I want to do usb-c for 1000s. Then the solder-less 1000, then the solder-less 2000.
Sorry about the wait, maybe 2 more weeks. :(
Videos take me some time
@@anderxale1 So 2 more weeks left before the video?
@@waijamelet9792 before the 1000 oled solder-less videos. Yes that is my guess, about 2 weeks
I still waiting my battery, how sad lol
Quick update, the battery is in my central capital shipping local central at 02:20 AM GMT+7 it will go to my city soon. My city is right next to capital and it about 102KM
I'm so excited! I hope you show me your completed project, or at least tell me if you got the battery working :) I love to see vita mods
@@anderxale1 just need to wait about 1-2 day and i will do a quick video about it in my youtube chanel :D
Great news, the package of battery is in my city now! I will received it in today or tomorrow morning
