Finding battery for a SONY VAIO laptop model PCG-71312L or VPCEB11FD
The battery model is VGP-BPS22. The laptop was bought in March 2010 so I
did not find any batteries on Sony website. The laptop cannot run without being connected to a power cord. The battery in it no longer works. I tried the suggestions at https://www.sony.ca/en/electronics/s...icles/00031889 but they did not help. I see some offered on ebay.com which claim to work, but I wanted to confirm which battery models would work with this laptop. 1. Where can I find a replacement battery which would work with this laptop? 2. When buying a battery from unknown seller on Walmart, ebay etc. how can I verify if that will work properly with this laptop? |

I've not bought any laptop batteries, so I couldn't tell you who to trust. (It probably wouldn't be that battery store at the mall :-) ) Paul |

If not this exact battery - re search their site or contact them. http://www.battdepot.com/ca/search/o...vgp-bps22.aspx I've dealt with these guys once - on a recommendation from a local re-seller - no problems.

Pick one, Amazon for example, that has a decent return policy and spend your money there. At some point in the life cycle of a product that is considered basically a throw-away after five years you are going to get to this point and you have to live with it. I keep my ancient HP laptop (old enough that it still has a DVD drive inside) going with generic replacement batteries and drives and haven't suffered too much for it. |

True. But the companies making these batteries go to a fair amount of trouble to create the plastics for the battery housing, and they'll be putting the same cell chemistry in the battery area as was there before. For more information on safety, see this article. The BatteryUniversity site is a great source of information on charging methods, as well as safety concerns. And it covers more chemistries than just laptop batteries. I used information from the site when charging my car battery :-) https://batteryuniversity.com/learn/...afety_concerns Paul |
