Sony guides about using battery and AC Power

On Using the Battery Pack

    Do not leave Sony VGP-BPS2 battery packs in temperatures above 140°F (60°C), such as in a car parked in the sun or under direct sunlight.

  • Battery life is shorter in a cold environment. This is due to decreased battery efficiency at low temperatures.
  • Charge battery packs at temperatures between 50°F to 86°F (10°C to 30°C). Lower temperatures require longer charging times.
  • While the VGP-BPS2 battery pack is in use or being charged, heat builds up in the battery pack. This is normal and is not cause for concern.
  • VAIO computers are designed to operate only with genuine Sony batteries.
  • Keep the battery pack away from all sources of heat or humidity.
  • Keep the VGP-BPS2C battery pack dry.
  • Do not open or try to disassemble the battery pack.
  • Do not expose the battery pack to any mechanical shock.
  • If you are not using your computer for a long period of time, remove the VGP-BPS2A battery pack from the computer to prevent damage to the battery pack.
  • If, after fully charging the battery pack, the battery power is still low, the battery pack may be reaching the end of its life and should be replaced.
  • You do not need to discharge the battery pack before recharging.
  • If you have not used the battery pack for a considerable amount of time, recharge the VGP-BPL2 battery pack.
  • Do not handle damaged or leaking lithium ion batteries. If liquid from the battery gets into your eyes, cleanse with clean water and immediately contact a physician.
  • Danger of explosion if VGP-BPS2C battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • The VGP-BPL2C battery pack used in this device may present a fire or chemical burn hazard if mistreated.
  • Dispose of used battery promptly and in accordance with all applicable laws. Do not incinerate.
  • Keep the computer and all accessories away from children.
  • Do not transport or store the computer close to metal objects which may cause a short-circuit.
  • Do not use charging methods other than those specified

On Using the AC Power Source

    See the online Specifications to check the power operation of your model.

  • Do not share the AC outlet with other power-consuming equipment, such as a photocopier or paper shredder.
  • You can purchase a VGP-BPS2 power strip with a surge protector. This device prevents damage to your computer caused by sudden power surges, in an electrical storm, for example.
  • Do not pull or place heavy objects on the power cord. Do not use power cords between the VGP-BPS2C product and desks or walls or bend or damage it at any time. Damage to the power cord could cause fire or electrical shock.
  • To disconnect the power cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
  • Unplug your computer from the AC outlet if you are not planning to use the computer for a long period of time.
  • Make sure that the AC outlet is easily accessible to VGP-BPS2A.
  • When the AC adapter is not used, unplug it from the AC outlet.
  • Use the AC adapter supplied with your computer or genuine Sony VGP-BPS5 products. Do not use any other AC adapter as it may cause a fire or electrical shock.
