The OLED PS Vitas use a proprietary connector for their power cable. If you ever lose the original charger or break this port, you have the option to replace it with a USB-C port. A Slim PCH-2000 PS Vita can also have its old micro USB port swapped for USB-C for convience with modern chargers. This page was created mostly from this guide by /u/purekimwater.
