Not necessarily. If you remove the plug casing it exposes a 2 pin plug adapter with my PSU.:smileywink:

Well if the battery is below 90 days old you contact VAIO Link
Otherwise you'd have to buy a new one.

Mmmh, only 73% here if I start the laptop via battery, after a day. But my VAIO two years old.
