As my work need to travel to everywhere in London, so I need a battery replacement urgently. I can not find anything from sony.com except “No match documents was found for your search. Please try with different keyword(s).” I serched in Google.com and find many original VGP-BPS8 batteries, but I cannot belive them(my last original latitude d620 battery which buing from a online shop is just a second-hand battery). So I choose a website : http://www.discount-laptop-batteries.co.uk which sell the Sony VGP-BPS8 replacement.

After view the battery detail info and website shipping return policy, I decide to buy the external 7800mAh VGP-BPS8 battery. As it is 3000mAh more capacity than my 4800mAh. I think it can last longer but the 10400mAh one is too big and heavy. I ordered the battery in October 15 and received it in 25. It cost me 95.89 pounds and 10 pound shipping fee.

To my superise the package was sent with a CD, I do not know what it is. But When I installed the Sony VGP-BPS8 battery my laptop cannot recognize the battery. So I sent a email to the customer service about this, now they replied me in time (just after 10 minutes later). They said that I must update my Bios driver with the CD to help my machine run the battery. I did this and finally my laptop can work without the adapter.

One of the best reasons to get a new MacBook Pro battery, aside from the dazzling new screen on the 13-inch, and in spite of the SATA capping that’s apparently in place, is the extended battery life courtesy of the new built-in lithium polymer batteries. And by all accounts, even if you won’t necessarily reach Apple’s estimates, you will get more usage out of your notebook without having to connect to a power source. Or you’ll get more usage as long as you’re not running in Windows under Boot Camp, that is.

AnandTech’s Anand Shimpi has been running a MacBook Pro 13-inch battery through its paces over at his site, and while he was very impressed with the machine’s new battery overall, he noticed a considerable disparity between apparent power consumption under OS X, and under Vista. Nor was the difference marginal. Running OS X while only web browsing, Shimpi was able to coax a little over eight hours out of the notebook under OS X, and only six using Vista. That’s a two hour, or 25 percent difference.

Windows 7, which is supposed to make up for a lot of the mistakes Microsoft made with Vista, fared no better. The RC 1 version of the upcoming OS lasted only 5.48 hours using the same test conditions. Some of that can be ascribed to there not being final, optimized drivers for Windows 7 yet, but I doubt that accounts for the more than two-hour Latitude D620 Battery life  deficit it has compared with OS X running on the same hardware.

Windows supporters will no doubt chime in with claims that the Apple hardware is to blame, but Shimpi found some reason to believe that may not be the case. He spoke to a number of PC OEM manufacturers to see if they’d found a difference in Dell XPS M140 Battery life between OS X and Vista, and though none would officially go on record, some at least admitted to seeing a similar difference to the one Shimpi had found.

I owned my Sony VGN-FZ for about 1 years. Now its original battery is nearly dead (just work about 30 minutes). Though the new battery can last about 2-3 hours when fully charged. I asked Sony Customre service if they can replace or repaire the battery for me. They said they can do nothing as the battery out of its warranty (just advise me to calibrate it).
