How long does VAIO Standard battery go?

[rraiszadeh]

I have bought a VAIO FS-115S recently. It's battery has a capacity of 4800 mAh and it goes for a max of 120 min. The sony site is advertising a standard battery VGP-BPS2 which has the same 4800 mAh capacity but the site says that it goes for a max of 4.5 hours. How is this possible??? Could some body guide me in this issue?

It can due to

1) A lot of power management
2) Better battery materials
3) Centrino technology

The 4.5 hours is measured in ideal conditions

- put the brighness of the LCD to the lowest
- disable the wireless internet
- disable background processes like firewall and virus scanner

Yep,

Sorry to go off topic (I know, I'm bad....) but I like your avatar mvanwambeke

I was hoping someone would notice my world record,
Tried to call Guiness but they did not answer

PS I am also sorry to go off topic

I can't see the figures LOL

[mvanwambeke]

just notice that the speed is unreadable,
but it has indeed a symbolic value to it

Yeah it's really hard, maybe you should make an avatar of just that window.

Apparently it is who is off-topic, LOL

But it was sony who announced the maximum battery life for the battery which came with the laptop to be 120 min, and then again it was sony who mentioned that the life of the standard battery which we can buy as a spare battery is 4 hours, I am sure that they measured them in identical conditions, but the part number of the two are the same???

still confused

As a rule Sony measure battery life with JEITA standards and MobileMark 2002 from BapCo.

It is a little misleading but under non-ideal situations this battery should last for about 3.5-2.9 hours on a modest LCD brightness setting with few plugged in components.
