I don't really mind the battery life, but then I always seem to be near a power outlet. Either that or I don't exhaust the battery in the time I'm away from one.

Still, it'd be nice not to have to even think about it - charge it every few days and just forget about it. Unfortunately, I wouldn't want to sacrifice anything my PSP gives me for greater battery life.

I leave it on standby permanantly because it's set to download a bunch of podcasts at 7am every morning, and I play it every day, so for the demands I make of it I'm happy enough.
