4 out of 5 stars Large battery holds own, so far   June 13, 2008
I've had this large capacity battery now for about a month and I am getting around 4.5-5.0 hours of charge on it regularly. So no problems and it is working as expected. My worry is that I also previously had a large capacity battery that I ordered with my Viao about 2 years ago. That battery routinely held a 3.0-3.5 hour charge, with no problems though daily use until one day it just up and died with no warning. So, yes I am glad that I have a new working battery with a long charge, but I am weary that it will just up and die at some point. Oh well, what can you do.


4 out of 5 stars Good item, way over priced though   May 5, 2008

On Vista this battery gives me about 4.5 hours. Over priced but if you need extra hours on the go you need it. The old regular battery dies in 20 mins after I have had it for almost 2 years.


1 out of 5 stars Not very good value for money   April 27, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I bought this extended life battery for my SZ-470N exactly one year ago. I used it less than half the time since the stock battery is fine for most situations. Now, it lasts about 20 minutes on a full charge which with Vista, is about enough time to boot up and pull email. Forget lasting through a domestic flight, much less an international one (and the SZ laptop sucks too much power for most in-seat power systems). Even when this battery was new, I only got about 3 to 3.5 hours on a charge with normal Office applications, viewing PDF docs, etc. which was 50% more than the stock SZ battery which got 2 hours when new (and about 1 to 1.5 hours today). The VGP-BPL2C battery is now no longer providing enough uptime for me to bother including in my carry-on bag. By the way, be careful when shopping online as there are numerous fake BPL2C batteries out there which only claim 6600mAh and no doubt are pieces of junk even worse than the miserable excuse for a battery that Sony sells. I understand that Li-ion batteries have a finite life, but there is no reason Sony has to charge hundreds of dollars for a component which cost them less than 10 dollars to make in Japan (or China). If the battery cost $50 then maybe I wouldn't mind it crapping out before its one year anniversary. But having a list price of $399 and discounted to merely $250 it's a complete ripoff.



2 out of 5 stars not so great   October 8, 2007
 5 out of 7 found this review helpful

Says 5 to 10 hours, I'm lucky if it lasts 3 1/2 hours of use.

Use it at school because there are no close outlets. With class lasting 4 + hours, I ended up bringing an extension cord.

Also, very expensive. Not worth the price.



1 out of 5 stars new battery went dead in less than a year   September 6, 2007

My new battery went dead in less than a year. The battery that came with the laptop- puchased new direct from sony- was totally dead in less than a year. Wont take a charge. Have to use the ac adapter always. Not ok.
