Guys I've been googling for some days trying to find anything related to this battery but I couldn't find something helpful. I tried english, portuguese and even russians forums but I still don't have any clue about what is this battery for.

According to this thread(https://gbatemp.net/threads/internal-clock-battery-cap.382058/) it is a CMOS battery and it can make your PSP able to "hold" the memory of data and time while you change the removable battery of it, however whenever I change mine I have to set the time and data again...so my doubts are:

Is it really a CMOS battery or just a capacitor?
Is there a problem if I change it?
What is the model of the battery?(I wanna know before I remove mine hahaha)

Here you can see the "cmos" battery that I am talking about

Btw I checked mine with a multimeter and it shows current in it.

Anyway thanks if you can answer or give me some light

It should be a tiny rechargeable lithium or nimh battery (never checked...), a good number of smartphones also have them (and a small number of laptops, but usually in bigger physical sizes)

Do you think the battery is there to hold the time for a while? Cuz if so .. Mine it's not doing that

I thought it was just 377 battery but it turns out it is a cap. I was able to disolder the cap and read the designation. It reads 3.3v 0.2f. A google search on that lands me on caps that looks exactly like the one in question.

I'm having this problem with my PSP 1000 fat version, does anyone know what type of battery it is and does anyone have a video showing how to fix it?

    I went to auction at a mom/pops video game store few months ago that was closing, and bought 11 slims for $200, 1 was DOA but 10 work fine. so hella deal. Already rgh3'ed 8 of them. But most younger kids don't even want anymore, unless it plays stupid "fortnight", or newer shit.
