I strongly recommend you get a wall charger. You don't have to spend $30 for the official Sony charger. Any PSP compatible charger will work. You can find one locally, or on line for as little as $2. I use an old Dell Axim charger which is spec'd at 5.4 volts.
Caveat: Note that most eBay PSP chargers are only 5V as well, not 5.2V. Read the fine print and/or enlarge the image and read the voltage specs.
