power specifications. All of our laptop batteries come with a full one year warranty and meet various safety
certifications that including UL, CE, FCC and RoHS. Our aftermarket laptop batteries have the latest technology and

What different types of Sony laptop batteries are there?
There are many different laptop battery chemistry types available that include Li-Ion (Lithium Ion), Li-Poly (Lithium
Polymer), Ni-Cad (Nickel Cadmium) and NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride). Li-Ion batteries are the most popular laptop
battery chemistry. There are advantages and disadvantages between each laptop battery chemistry type, such as longer
life per charge, longer overall life cycle, weight, size, faster charge time, or stability. But, all four battery
chemistry types are universally accepted for creating high quality replacement Sony laptop batteries.
Why do Sony laptop batteries have different capacities?
Many laptop batteries have different capacities, but they are all measured in “mAh” (milliampere-hour). The reason for different laptop battery capacities is that each laptop model has different power consumption levels. Larger laptops consume more power and require laptop batteries with a bigger mAh rating. Laptop batteries with bigger mAh ratings also have battery cells with more electrolyte and electrode material. A Sony laptop battery with a higher mAh rating will always last longer than a laptop battery with a lower mAh rating.
How long will my Sony laptop battery last?
Replacement Sony laptop batteries should have a run time of several hours off of a full charge. Recharging the laptop
battery usually takes one to three hours, with 80% capacity being reached the first hour. Each aftermarket Sony
battery will last about three years and is capable of over 500 discharge / charge cycles.
How safe are Sony Laptop batteries, and batteries in general? How do I take care of my Sony battery?
DuracellDirect batteries are very safe and quality tested before being sold to our customers. All of our aftermarket
Sony laptop batteries, chargers and accessories meet various safety certifications that include RoHS, CE, UL, and FCC
certifications.
Proper care for your Sony laptop battery is important for a long lasting laptop battery with reliable power. Avoid
exposing your laptop battery to the elements such as high heat, direct sunlight, moisture, rain, freezing temperatures
and high impact environments. Laptop batteries may be very durable, but can be fragile at the same time and will break
under extreme conditions that are outside of normal use. If you laptop battery becomes defective, check to see if it
is under warranty before throwing it away. If it is out of warranty, be sure to recycle the laptop battery at your
nearest battery recycling center.
