Sony Playstation Vita Battery Life and Full Technical Specifications

Sony has unveiled a full spec sheet for the Vita, which is due out in Japan on 17th December.

What about Battery life? Good thing you asked as Sony PlayStation Vita’s battery will gives you between three and five hours of gameplay. Ouch. That extends to five hours of video playback or nine hours of music playback, if used in standby mode. It’ll take approximately two hours and 40 minutes to charge from empty. Not exactly enough for a roadtrip but at least it charges quite fast.
