Can PSP Batteries be recharged via USB

hardwarepsp

I've obtained a recharging cable for my PSP that has a USB plug at the end rather than an AC adapter.

I have a Lithium Ion Battery Pack which i use to charge up my iPhone when it's low on power and I have a bunch of those wall plugs you get with Apple devices that allow a USB cable to be plugged in.

I'm wondering if I can use this USB charge cable on my battery pack and the wall charger without any damage to the battery of the PSP system?

Note: The PSP I'm mainly talking about is my First Gen PSP but I also have a PSP 2000.

I don't think the first gen can do it but all others should be able to. There is a setting in the Settings menu for USB Charge, so first you need to make sure that's on. Not sure on the effects on battery life, but it should be the same as any other forms of charging.
