Original Description:The Pandora battery is a PSP peripheral that is intended to 'flash' the PSP back to a factory default firmware setting. This, paired with an accompanying memory stick program, makes it possible to take an updated PSP, downgrade it then reupgrade it with a customized firmware update.

One of the more attractive things about this battery/memory stick setup is the ability to recover a 'bricked' device. This is, however, unsanctioned by Sony and likely to void the warranty on your device.

Additional Description:A Pandora Battery is a specially modified psp battery solely used for booting the psp into service mode allowing the user to flash the motherboard, and install custom firmware to it. A Pandora battery is required to unbrick or downgrade a PSP 1000 or 2000. The PSP 3000 only requires a memory stick for temporary custom firmware.

A Pandora battery allows your PSP to be booted into service mode. Once in service mode, custom firmware can be installed on your PSP allowing you to play homebrew games off your memory stick, play classic console games, and so much more!

What is the Pandora battery used for in the PSP?

The Pandora battery enables you to hack your games. How this works you ask? In the normal battery, there is a pin inside the battery, but in the Pandora battery, they take that pin out which instead of taking power from the battery, it takes it from the memory stick which has your hacking program. The programs you can get are "NitePR" and "CodePR". You can find these both on a search on Google.
