Well I know nothing about this model so you are best off going to www.vaio-link.com and downloading your computers manual there, all the details you need will be within.

But just a warning in case you can't find a second battery slot, for most laptops a secondary battery just means a second battery you swap over when the first one goes dead.

Yea iv tried that but my laptop does not come up on that site

Your model is on Vaio Link. The direct link is http://www.vaio-link.com/specifications/specifications.asp?l=en&m=1463

You can install a second battery by removing the optical drive, inserting the second powerpack, and fitting the 'weight saver' which was supplied with your notebook. Be warned . . . . the battery isn't cheap.

this model does not have an optical drive, would this mean i would have to remove the dvd/rw drive, and insert the secondary battery

[robpaxton]

The DVD/RW drive is the optical drive.

I thought you could get external betteries which fit to the back and plug into the DC socket? I saw someone on a train with that sort of thing once, it wasnt a vaio though.
