Its fit into your PSP Slim, if you use fat PSP battery, you will need this door to close your PSP's battery hole.
Was going to purchase the Sony battery kit for my PSP slim even though I already own the older larger battery, but luckily that was out of stock because I came across this extra battery door set instead. I do miss my darth vader battery door from the star wars bundle, but it's worth it for the super long battery life. I also like playing more with the bulge on the side from the larger battery and door as it makes holding the psp easier. This set worked perfectly with the larger 3.6v 2200mah battery I had bought for my PSP Slim. I use the larger door that comes with this set to accomodate the larger battery and the fit is snug and secure, although it took a bit of a push to make it work and the door still moves a tiny tiny tiny tiny bit. This product makes me happy.
I kept it and found that it worked with the PSP Slim, though the Slim's battery door wouldn't fit over it. I went looking for JUST the extended battery door from a vendor in North America and I found this. The new door just looks like a normal part of the device, which is good when you get randomly selected at an airport security checkpoint. When I traded my old PSP Fat in for a PSP Slim at that big game store chain, they didn't want to take my extended-life (2200 mAH "Stamina") battery pack. Yes, my PSP Slim is now a bit fatter on one end, but that's not enough to mess up the Slim form factor for me.More time between charges is good for me, especially as I tend to use my PSP the most when traveling. I'm sure something jerry-rigged (duct tape) would attract more attention. (The extended battery lasts for a long time in the Slim.
I'm very happy with the result.The part fits like it was made by the OEM (that's good) and looks the part, too. I wasn't about to buy Sony's entire extended battery kit because I already had the battery. It is, perhaps, a shade darker than the plastic on my Piano Black PSP Slim, but the polish/gloss is the same and the difference in color is really not noticeable. The internal battery life estimator says 11 hours on a full charge, but I'm fairly certain I've gotten more, mixing music playback, gaming, and a UMD movie).
