On October 27, 2004, the company announced that the typical battery life for the PSP will be between 4 and 6 hours for games, with 4-5 hours for video viewing. These numbers, according to SCE, were determined with the system’s luminance set to maximum (180 cd/m2) and minimum (80 cd/m2), volume set to half the maximum level, headphones used instead of speakers and wireless LAN not in use. Hands-on battery tests with the PlayStation Portable have yielded results in accordance of SCE’s specs — between 3 and 6 hours of play, depending on brightness, volume, and other factors, with WiFi play running between 2:30 and 4 hours. Each individual game will affect the PSP run-time in its own way due to complexity of gameplay, technology, loading requirements, and other factors.
