Re: [sony505] Re: Battery Replacement

I've been a VAIO user for 8 years, having a Z505 and currently using an
S360P, upgraded to 120GB 5400RPM HD and a gig of RAM. I was looking for a
good long life battery BPL2 replacement - and settled on the new Energizer
rechargables here:

http://www.energizerbatteries.com/productdetail.asp?device=LAPT&prodcode=31453

I found it brand new online for about $85 - includes 1 year free replacement
warranty.

The battery life is unreal - I have yet to drain it.

Actually, I was skeptical, but I figured I would give it a shot... I am not big on buying NON-OEM, but older Vaio are close to impossible to find OEM batteries...

Thanks for that info. For my Vaio 505HE it's a total of 58.00 for battery + shipping and tax (tax in CA is 8% !!) I'm gonna see how it works....

When I did a few years back I was happy with the service... I'd buy OEM Sony batteries, but good luck with that... No such thing with such an older model...

Sorry for the spam, folks. I'm having trouble with Yahoo Groups so this's just a rhetorical test. I'll see whether it gets through or not so no need to reply...
