Battery acting weird...
Today I played a bit of SOCOM Fireteam Bravo 2 online, and the battery light started blinking like it always does if your battery percentage drops too low.
But, I returned to the menu and plugged in the charger. The battery light stopped blinking but it stayed green. Odd, I thought and I went to check the battery status. It said "Battery Percentage: 10%, Battery Status: Charge Complete". WTF?! I shutted down and it started charging normally with the orange light...
Very weird...

With you too?
I downgraded my friend's PSP-1000 and went to 3.40 OE-A and after that the battery icon just disappeared and re-appeared. My friend started a game and his PSP shut down and it had the "Battery out" screen, but the battery was full!

I think it says using external cause when you charge, it also uses power from the AC

Re: Battery acting weird...
my battery is different. when i checked the battery life it said that the battery was at 100%. but the status said charging. the red light was on for like 30 mins even though my battery was at 100%

My psp is weird because when it's at the 10% warning, the battery LED doesn't turn red but instead the psp shuts down without any warning.

Re: Battery acting weird...
Look in the manual... It says that if you charge irregularly, the display of the battery could be inaccurate...
If you just let it go completely down and then recharge it again it should be right again. I can't explain very well but it's all in the manual
I actually read those things.. And remember them
The "external power source" shows up whenever you plug it in, so it's all normal, nothing to worry about.
Ofcourse, try not to recharge an accumulator (that's what the PSP has, it's actually not a battery, there is a difference, but who cares) when it's not completely down yet. It could decrease its capacity if you do it a lot. I forgot why exactly... It has something to do with chemical reactions
