Our special TOOL version of the PSP rechargeable battery works in exactly the same way as a standard Sony PSP battery, but has the ability to put your PSP into Service Mode. This is a facility made available exclusivey to programmers and developers, allowing them to run software from a memory stick instead of the UMD - a vital means of testing the game you're developing on the PSP without having to get Sony to cut a disc for you.
With our bright red TOOL battery, you can access this Service Mode on your own, non-developers' PSP! Using the TOOL battery, you can run PSP software from your memory stick, by putting your PSP into Service Mode. It's easy!

I just wanted to know, what exactly is service mode? Will it just "downgrade" my PSP? and what if in some way it messes up my PSP, will it void my PSP warranty? Thanks.
Codejunkies Reply: Service Mode simply allows you to choose your firmware, it's functionality already built into the PSP, this battery just allows you to access it. Any time you want to change your firmware or reset you PSP, you can.
Does this come with a memory stick or it is just the barrery?
Codejunkies Reply: Just the battery.
well, i bought a tool battery from console shop and they scamed me. Do i have to be worried about being scamed here?
Codejunkies Reply: Codejunkies is owned and run by Datel who make the products on sale here. If you have a problem you get get support, a replacement or a full refund. We would never scam anyone.
Does this ship out with UPS or Federal Express?
Codejunkies Reply: US mainland goes UPS
I wanted to buy this but I think it might ruin my psp
Codejunkies Reply: The TOOL battery only facilitates the use of Service Mode (which is built into your PSP) to enable you to change the firmware (upgrades, downgrades etc.). There is no reason to worry about damaging your PSP.
Why doesn't it come with the files on for the memory stick?
Codejunkies Repy: Because that's not our code. What you do with the TOOL battery is up to you ;-)
