I assume this battery does what it promises, double the battary capacity so I base this review on this. What I will focus on here, is the size of this thing -- it's huge!!!
I knew it would be bigger than the normal battery, but didn't expect it to be this large - pictures on Datel's site doesn't show this.
Basicly both the existing battery-lid and battery itself is replaced with Datels X2 battery solution. The battery itself is double the size and the new "lid" sticks out very far on the back of the PSP. Think three times the normal thickness !
It's more a "handle" with this battery attached which may be ok for some - I find it slighty inconvenient and perfer the "normal" ergonomics.
The "lid" replacement (battery-compartment) hovever seems solid and attaches pretty tight on the PSP itself, so it's doesn't rattle too bad or even fall off.
The worst part of the extra buk is that most cases (including PlayGear Pocket, Aero case, AirForm pocket and Ambition case) are basicly useless with this - your PSP simply won't fit in the case anymore!
But if you are using a screen-only protector or front-armor which doesn't encase the entire PSP, you should be fine.
I'm not gonna use this battery as a permanent replacement, but will use it on long trips or vacations outside the Ambition case where I can and swap with the original battery - as such it will be pretty ok. But as permanent replacement, it's useless.
Let's hope a PROPER X2 battery replacement will appear sometime.
