Reviews:
The battery works perfectly The package has arrived in time, the UN we have packed it and we
installed endured and from then it is working perfectly. The old
battery has held the calculating over for 3 hours (once new) and with
this hard at least 5 hours. Great transaction.
Songy VGP-BPL2 Equivalent Main Battery This super capacity battery does not last as long as advertised. I probably get one additional hour when running the computer with full brightness on the LCD. Overall, I would probably not have purchased the battery.
Don't buy OEM
Don't waste your money I bought this battery based on the previous review expecting at least 3 hours out of it. I got almost the same time out of it (1.5 hours) that I get out of my original Sony battery that is over a year old and has been through many charge cycles!! Save your money and get the original Sony battery. It is about 170 bucks, but it is smaller and lasts longer than this battery. Also, the battery shipped airmail from Hong Kong, which took FOREVER!
Just as Good as OEM, Runs a long time, don't buy cheaper This Battery-Biz brand version is a little more than the Tech-Power, but a lot less than the original Sony version. This brand makes the rechargeable lithium ion camcorder batteries for Duracell, so I spent a little extra to get this brand.
Running with everything on and at full power, the battery goes a solid 5.25 hours in my experience. Turn the monitor down to a lower brightness and you'll get over 7 hours. If you make the moniter switch off when its idle, the computer can run all day in some cases.
I use this battery and computer around my college campus aggressively all day and it runs flawlessly after 2 months. It raising the computer up in the back a little, making it easier to type for some people. Doesn't stick out to much, since goes down and out. Combined with your original included battery, you couldn't possibly run out your batteries in a day.
The color and texture of the black bottom matches near flawlessly with the computer, if your into that sort of thing. The battery fits in perfectly and works and charges flawlessly.
If you are even lightly considering buying this battery, do it. My only regret about this purchase is that I was too short sighted not to buy it a year ago when I got this computer. Searching for plugs when you are running around all the time is a pain. Just buy it, its worth every penny, and you'll thank yourself later.
