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

Pliers or something to pry/break plastic

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 https://youtu.be/NLTLOyOdxVU )

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.
