Sony PCGA-BP71 battery September 23, 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.

Awfully Expensive & bad August 4, 2004

I purchased my Sony VAIO PCG-FX250 on September 2001, and let me tell you that I became dissapointed with it a long time ago. First thing that failed in my VAIO was the Diskette Drive before ending the first year, a few months later it was the CD-DVD/RW unit; I had to replace it, my power adaptor also had to be fixed about a year ago, and finally, my battery went belly up a couple of months ago. Now that I'm looking for a replacement I found that is awfully expensive which I don't justify, besides not being a reliable item, it doesn't even last more than a couple of hours when new.
To make a long story short, the VAIO computers and accesories have goood looks, but for a device that costed me a little more than two grand at that time, I expected a much more reliable device. My next laptop won't be a SONY VAIO.

No Choice! December 12, 2003

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?

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...

A very poor quality battery indeed. Battery life is very low indeed, about half an hour. And then from 1 day to the next, after about a year (for us) it just stops charging. And then you find this ridiculously high price to buy a new one. Shame on you, Sony! but it's not like we can do anything about it, since our Vaio only takes this one battery. Nevertheless, very disappointing. Be warned before you buy a VAIO that uses this battery.
