According to PlayStation exec Shuhei Yoshida, the second-generation PS Vita will charge over Micro USB, such that you can use most any smartphone charger to fill up the handheld video game system’s battery. That’s particularly good news given that the Vita’s battery life is still rated at only six hours on a charge.

Doesn’t the Vita just use a Micro USB cable for charging? The slim 2000-Model uses a Micro USB. The old fat 10000-Model has a weird proprietary charger. If you bridge the usb data pins on vita side, it will charge from any usb source (as if it was proprietary charger).

Can You charge a PS Vita with a charger?
The one quip I have is that the charger is slightly difficult to fit into the vita charging port.

You can switch the wire with a Sony official wire if you are uncomfortable and it still works fine with this adapter.
