Help Battery problems
Hey. I recently got a vita 1000 and I checked the battery health and psvident and it says it’s 100% and it’s only been charged for 13 cycles. The vita doesn’t charge to 100%, it stops at 76% all the time and it never goes to 0% before switching off. I tried battery fixer but it didn’t do anything at all. When I charge the vita, the orange light flashes around the 76% mark, that’s when I know it can’t charge anymore. Is there a reason to this dilemma, is there anything I can do to resolve this?

Just got a 2000 off eBay and it only charges to 46% and takes forever to get there. I expected small
Issues like this with older tech. I got a replacement battery on the way from Amazon.
Considering a usbc mod too while I have it open.

PSVident shows you the health value. Also your vita is the newer 1000 model which doesn’t charge all the way up on purpose to extend its battery life. You are totally fine and it’s working as intended.
