Sony :: CW2 Battery

May 21, 2010

Either I'm being really dense (possible) or the battery on my CW2 is jammed. I'veonly just got it so it's the first time i've tried to remove the battery.

It does come out the same way it went in doesn't it? I've unlocked the lock switch and whilst holding the 'release' switch im trying to lift the battery from the the recess next to the release and lock switch.

One side of the battery (on the release switch side) seems to lift slightly but the other side isn't coming out at all. It's almost as if lock is still in place.

Sony :: SZ Battery

May 20, 2009

I got my laptop around 3 years ago, it's a Sony Vaio VGN SZ1M/B.

The battery stopped working completely around 1 1/2 years ago, since then I just took it out and have been forced to use it at my desk.

I'm going on holiday in a few weeks and fancy getting a new battery so I can use the laptop on the trip.

I just called my local Sony Centre (UK), who said they could order a new one from Sony for £190!

I've had a look on the net, but all the online battery websites seem really dodgey, does anyone know where I can get a battery for a more reasonable price?

The battery that came with the laptop has a model number of VGP-BPS2C, but I'm not sure if there's a slightly newer, yet obsolete model out?

Is it ok to get a battery that's not made by Sony? and if so where. Or if not, where can I get a real Sony battery for a reasonable price?

Sony :: Battery On FW 490 CTO

Jul 22, 2009

I have purchased the FW 490 CTO about two weeks back, but the battery seems bo giving me some issues. Can somebeody please confirm if the problem that I am facing is an issue or it is quite normal.

I have configured my notebook for super battery care function in order to protect its life. So far it seems to be doing a good job that it keeps the battery charged for only 50%. But when I Shut down the notebook overnight and restart it in the morning the battery levels are down to 25%. I have no clue as to how 25% of the battery is getting depleted overnight even though I shutdown my laptop.

Sony :: Vaio CR Battery

Sep 6, 2009

I have a Vaio CR-190 and am having battery problems. Over the past couple months, my battery would show a full charge when plugged in, but when I would unplug the computer the battery would literally drop from 100% to 80% and began dropping futher. A few weeks ago, the battery would drop from 100% to 50% or so when unplugged and the battery would quickly drain. Recently, however the battery holds no charge at all and the computer will only run through the a/c. My battery management utility shows an X through the battery and says there is no battery detected even though the battery is properly installed. Everything else on the computer is running fine. I'm just looking for some advice on what's the best steps to take next. I've read that Sony has had some problems with batteries suddenly dieing and wondering if that's what it sounds like. The battery is from Sony and is the extended life larger one if that matters.

Sony :: Battery For PCG-8N1M

Apr 9, 2010

I've got an old Sony-Vaio, model PCG-8N1M and I need a new battery for it. My problem is that, so far, I couldn't find any seller for this model, nor I could make sure which type of battery it needs. In fact the one "included" (PCGA-BP2NX) doesn't seem to match the requirments: it supplies 14.8V, whereas the notebook seems to need 19.5V.

Sony :: FZ140E Battery

Jan 18, 2010

my FZ140E battery. I have it for 2 years and a half, and its battery is no longer useful. I have always used the laptop with the A/C adapter connected, and I just found out that this is exactly what causes the battery to die. Right now, the battery can't hold my laptop on for more than 30min, even if it's 100% charged before disconnecting the A/C adapter.

So, I'm looking for a new battery, but I must admit that I'm a rookie when it comes to computers and stuff. Since I'm gonna buy a new one, why not upgrade, right? So the intention is to get a 7200mhA+ battery.

I found this guy on eBay:

[url]

But, given the number of models out there in the market, I have some doubts:

1) Could you tell from the advertisement if this battery is Sony genuine? I wouldn't be surprised if it's not.

2) I'm totally confused with the PNs. He advertises a number of them in the auction( VGP-BPS8 VGP-BPS8A VGP-BPS8B VGP-BPL8 VGP-BPL8A ), and I don't really know which one to look for. Mine is a VGP-BPS8, 4800mhA. Does the PN refer to the Vaio/battery model or to the capacity of each one? I mean, should I look for a VGP-BPS8 but with a higher capacity?

3) Could anyone share a link to a reliable webstore where I can get a nice battery for a reasonable price? Note that I'm from Brazil, so I need the webstore to ship worldwide. Also, is there a battery with even higher capacity? I've found some 10000mHA batteris in the web, but I'm not sure if they are genuine( and reliable ).

Sony :: SZ Battery Not Charging

Nov 11, 2009

We purchased my wife's Sony SZ680NWC back in May 2008. Used it mostly tethered to the wall for 10 months. We then used it on and off with battery until early June 2009 and packed it away.

Yesterday, I turned it on with the battery in and tethered to the wall so I could back up some data.

The battery light was blinking and Windows XP shows that it was charging. It remained at 0% for hours. I turned it off and left it plugged in so the battery could charge. I woke up this morning and found that after 10 hours, the battery light was still blinking. Turning it on, I found it was still at 0%! There's no power to even run for 1 second unplugged!

I've unplugged the battery and power adapter. Held the power button and put the battery and power adapter back in. Still doesn't charge.

I'm stumped. It indicated that it's charging so I assume the charger and battery connectors are ok. Can't imagine how a battery can go south while in 6 months of storage.

The battery is the stock battery I got with the system, a VGP-BPL9 6 cell Sony extended battery.

Not sure if it's the same problem as adamcirillo (without a solution in the end) or this one from danS_GER (though his did not blink to indicate charging status, mine does).

Sony :: Vaio TZ350 N Battery

May 21, 2009

Being a long term TX user, I eventually made the switch to the TZ, didn't need blue ray and didn't much care for the chrome sidings on the TT.

It's a lovely little laptop, but I have noticed a few things - mainly the battery is nowhere near Sony's claim of 7 hours.

My TX would give me a good useable 4.5-5 hours, this one barely struggles past 3 hours, even with the power management on battery life, screen useably dimmed and the CD/DVD off

Sony :: Vaio Z Battery Life In XP

Dec 28, 2009

First time poster, long time viewer.

I was just wondering if anyone experienced a battery increase after down-grading their Vaio Z from Vista/Win7 to XP? If so, by how much?

I'm currently holding a Z710dd (canadian vaio) with a standard battery with windows 7 installed. I previously had a netbook that lost a good hour and half from Windows XP to Windows 7. Even after disabling a lot of the windows aero mumbo-jumbo and themes

Sony :: How Long The VGN Z Notebook Battery Can Last

Jan 10, 2010

I bought a Z in July and notice the battery time is short and short? in July it can last more than 2.5 hours even at 80% charge, now is 1 hour only, is battery care working? I think Sony is quite poor in battery management area, they should provide a application list thinkpad to test the current then tell you how long it can last.

Sony :: Z- Battery Not Holding Charge

Jun 1, 2009

i've had my Z for for a couple weeks now. previously i had a vaio FW which has been used for a good year or so. by now, the battery on my FW is pretty much useless because it cannot hold enough charge to keep the laptop running for 10 min without the charger being plugged in. however, i notice that my brand new Z isnt able to hold the charge 100% either. this was the case for my FW as well, and it progressively got worse to the point where, as mentioned, i couldnt run it without it plugged in. what's can i do about this? i'm trying to prevent this from happening to my Z since i will most definitely need it to run on battery life for a couple of hours during classes. when using my Z at home, i normally keep it plugged in (it have not let it reach 0% battery life yet). i've been keeping it plugged in even when it is off..that is the only way i see 100% battery life upon start up. if i leave it unplugged, when starting up, it will only display 96-98%. the longer i leave it unplugged, the lower the charge is when i start it up again (after about 8 hours unplugged and shut off, it'll show 92% at start up).

Sony :: Battery Care (FW11M)

I want to use the battery care function, so I installed the utility, but all the options are greyed out. I tried installing the Sony shared library and the utility dll, but still nothing.

Can anyone tell me how to get it working or if it's even possible, or if there is some other way I can stop the battery charging when it reaches a certain level.

Sony :: VGN-NR11S And Windows 7 Battery

Feb 14, 2010

Recently I installed Windows 7 on my Vaio (NR11S/S) and it's been working great. However there's a huge problem with battery life - now I get only 30 minutes! When I was using Vista it was something like 2 hours (or more)...

I don't mind that much, most of the time I'm on AC power, but it bothers me sometimes.

Does anyone have the same problem with battery life on Windows 7?

Sony :: SZ Battery Lasts 10 Minutes

Jul 24, 2009

My dad bought a Sony SZ18 when it originally came out three or four years ago and ever since has been very happy.

About 3-4 months ago he got a new replacement battery for the computer as its original battery (in the end) lasted about 10 minutes which wasn't very good. He then bought a new battery and has been using this since.

It was good up to about last week when the battery started having the same problem as the old battery.

He didn't want to have to buy another battery,he didn't want to buy a new computer because the new core i series architecture is coming out and wants to buy a computer with that.
