The PSP battery is curved, this isn't a failing battery. Also the battery is enclosed in hard plastic. There would be a large split where the clam shell is showing.

Ok so, my psp battery became a spicy pillow.
Yes, the battery is curved, but when spicy it becomes even more curved and the lid doesnt close anymore. On top of that, its very hard to actually see if its spicy because of that curve.
The enclosure is not hard plastic and it doesnt crack when the battery is spicy, it bends at first.
