Does the PSP battery die when not in use?

I went to turn my PSP on this afternoon after not playing for 2-3 days and it was dead.

Charging now and everything seems fine, just wondering if thbattery dies even when not in use?

I have a PSP-3000 or whatever the latest one is now called.

If it's on that standby mode then yeah, it drains slowly but eventually. When it's off all the way, technically it does still use power to keep certain things running.paradigm68

I remember it would drain on my old PSP 1000.

I used play on the bus on my way to school.

I would put it in sleep mode and by the end of the day, on the bus ride home, the battery would only let me play for about 10 minutes.

I put it in sleep mode while I was in the game, by the way. (If that makes a difference)

Ok, thanks for all the help.

Good to know at least that it does die after some time, I was worried something was wrong with my PSP seeing as how I just got it.

Now I guess I'll keep the charger next to my bed at all times, haha.

A while back i lost it for a few months after charging it.When i finally found it, it was completely dead.It uses a very small amount of energy when "completely" off but I guess after it was lost in the couch for a few months it just gave out.RAGEofSTUNTS
