The life of this battery is pathetic. Typically runs for 30 minutes and not for 3-4 hours as claimed by Sony.

But hey, is there a choice if you have already bought the vaio?

2.0 out of 5 stars Sony PCGA-BP71 battery, September 22, 2002

I'm shopping for the battery -- what a rude awakening! The price seems pretty high. I'm disappointed with the battery that came with my Vaio. I usually keep the computer plugged in, using the battery as a back up. Now the battery will not take any kind of charge, even though it indicates only 29 charge cycles.

Have the same problems with the VAIO latop battery, it just stopped working (the battery with the original laptop purchase). Logged on to Amazon with the intent to buy a new one, but was a) outraged by the price ($200 is 1/5 of the way toward a new laptop), b) convinced by the other reviews in this page that I would buy a battery with, likely, the same problems and life.

Thanks, all, for putting in your prior reviews on the Sony Battery...
