Oh my god.
So I come here to learn how to correctly cut pin 5,and so I proceed.But when I open up my battery, I already see a problem.
My battery is encased in some sort of metal,and I do not see any type of pin to cut.I got it with my PSP about a year ago, so I really dont know what to do, and I dont want to put this battery to waste. Sorry for sounding like a noob.

Aquateens...
I think you may have the same battery as me hence my problems, is it the one with the circuit board on the top with a large chip on one side then several smaller ones on the underside??

If so I have already cut pin 5 on the chip that is clearest to the ones in the picture but my battery is still working like a normal battery.

I cut the chip directly underneath the big chip on the other side, I think these may be newer batteries (although i have had my psp for well over a year). It didn't work anyway so if yours is same I wouldn't bother unless somebody on here has already been succesful with one.

Think i'm gonna opt for the datatool one as well ;)

Thanks for the guide! It worked out pretty well, but I still have a problem. After following the guide closely, I managed to get the CFW with my Pandora's battery. However, my PSP only seems to turn on when I put in the battery after I put in the MS. Also, when I do that, my PSP only boots up the upgrade/nand dump thingy when you first try to get CFW. After that, a decided to format my 25 mb MS. Now, my PSP won't even turn on. The Green light flashes, but I still have a black screen.

Did I do something wrong?

Just score the sides of the battery with a sharp implement, i used a standard kitchen knife. You have to do every side, just score the gap a few times and you will see it start to open, don't rush it because if you haven't broke the glue you may split the case, just be patient with it and its easy, if when its open you find a different battery from the pics then you may have the new style one, I have tried to mod mine in every way but to no avail, its the one with a circuit board on top with a large chip on one side and several smaller ones on the underside.My advice, keep it as a good battery and buy the data tool one off amazon for £12.99.

I'm not sure if you can backup eeprom with a hardmodded battery...
But to backup eeprom you:
Run Pandora's Battery Creator.
Press the triangle button.
Wait until it exits to XMB(PSP menu)

And 4GB will not work. Anything higher than 2GB will not work. I think that you should use 128MB - remember, magic memory sticks can be used normally without it being formatted.
