Florida man’s PSP battery explodes while charging on his nightstand.
“It had been charging for over an hour when it just went off”, said Bob Nixon. He had bought a generic replacement charger from his local Radio Shack after losing his original one on a trip. He was watching TV in his living room and he though he was smelling something burning. While walking around his home checking on the odor he heard the PSP battery Explode.

“It popped so hard that it flipped the PSP off of the nightstand”, said Nixon. The battery pieces were scattered across the room and it left a black burn mark on the nightstand.
“I think the battery exploded because I got the wrong charger. It plugged in O.K. but I should have checked with the Radio Shack guy to make sure it would work”, Said Nixon.
If you need more content for your PSP try looking at this.
That guy was on our local news station in Orlando. He said that Sony was sending him a new PSP Slim. I guess they didn’t want him to try and sue over some electronic malfunction. He also said he waited in line for 2 days for an iPhone and got it.
I don’t think he has a case against Sony. He is using generic charger instead of original charger. The charger probably has a different specs. Sony sending him a replacement as goodwill and hopefully gain some publicity. They don’t have to really do that.
Yeah, this is why you make sure you purchase the right voltage.
Overvolt=pop and fry
Uh i tried to make pandoras battery by opening mine and it exploding i burnt my hand and my table kinda went on fire a lil butand LOTS OF SMOKE! dont feel bad dude lolz
This guy is nothing more than a moron! He went cheap with something that he spent more than $100 on and then got what he deserved! He shouls not get a new psp from Sony.. it was not their fault! That is the consiquence of making dumb decisions and cheaping out on things like this!!
Don’t ever charging you psp too long, if you don’t won’t your battery explode. I think 2 hour 3 it’s normaly
HAHA! his psp was wrecked! (: its his fault for using a radio shack charger! why didn’t he buy a official sony charger!? its worth the extra cost!!!!
