Hey Folks
I know all of my posts have been battery related but this is due to the fact that I'm happy with everything else about the vaio. I mean I've already sent the unit back to Sony and they reputedly fitted another one. But the more I use this thing, the more I have my doubts. At the moment
I don't connect the remote
I don't use shuffle functions
I lock the unit to shut off the screen after I navigate to an album
Monday: used the controls of the unit once to navigate into the albums list and selected the linear album playing function. Played the unit for a total of 2 and a half hours
Tuesday: The same only played the unit for about 3 and a half hours
Wednesday: The same thing but again played the unit for 2 and a half hours. went completely dead Wednesday Night!!!!!!
8 and a half hours dead! Where are you getting 20 hours from SONY! Does the weather have to be a certain way. Air temperature maybe?? This was the main reason I bought the vaio and to be honest Sony have been totally dishonest in their marketing! Unless the next update solves this battery drain then the unit is going back whether they like it or not!!!!!!!!!!!
Here are a couple of links about battery charging en maintenance.

I thought they were a very interesting read.
Hope they help.
