This section if for a PHAT battery
Use something plastic (like a guitar pick, disposable picnic knife, ect...), to split the battery open. Do so by starting in the seams that run around the edge and work your way around untill you get it completely apart. Be extra carefull when you get close to the connections on top. If you feel the need to use something metal to take the battery apart do so at your own risk. I used a sharp, very pointy, steel pocket knife. Just dont cram it in to far or touch anything metal other that the pin you need to touch. (metal to metal shorts out circuits, and your playing with a live [color:aaab=blue! important][color:aaab=blue! important]circuit [color:aaab=blue! important]board here) Refer to the pictures...



Once you get the battery open find the little black square located near the bottom right. It should have writing on it such as TExx and S93056. This is where you will need to remove a small pin from one side of it. On the main board (the green part) of the battery itself will be writing near one end of the black square such as ICO4. The pin under the 4 is the pin you will need to remove. Refer to the pictures...



As you can see from the pictures the pin on my battery is allready removed. Use anything you want to remove the pin from your battery. I used a sharp knife and gently cut the pin off. BUT REMMEMBER if you touch two of the pins at the same time, or slip and close the circuit between anything metal (ie. have the tool your using, such as a metal knife, touch two different parts at the same time) you could run a chance of ruining your battery.

When you get the pin removed put your battery back together. Use a peice of clear tape around the edges to hold your battery together. Dont use to much tape or the battery will kinda not fit properly into your [color:aaab=blue! important][color:aaab=blue! important]PSP anymore, you'll have to push it in a little more than you did before.
