Has any one got issues with PCGA-BP2EA battery pack? I've got an A517B and when battery charge status hits 100% charge, for at least a few hours, I shutdown,switch off the mains and un-plug. Switch the computer on, about 24 hours later, and the battery has 'lost' about 15-25% of its charge? Now I know that batteries lose some juice over a period of time but in my experience, that is a little too fast! I'm curious to know if I'm alone on this one? Or whether my machine has some sort of short? (Notebook is 2 months old)<BR /><BR />In anticipation, Citizens.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 01 Jan 2006 22:38:45 GMT https://community.sony.ie/t5/pcs-accessories/short-or-battery/m-p/7066#M94851 Coalhole 2006-01-01T22:38:45Z Re: Short or battery? https://community.sony.ie/t5/pcs-accessories/short-or-battery/m-p/7067#M94852 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I have this battery in an 18 month old VGN-A115Z. In the last week, the battery charging icon has been replaced by an AC power cord symbol. The battery is not being detected by the machine. I have taken it out and reinstalled it, but to no effect.<BR />Before it 'disappeared', I did use the machine on battery power once or twice per week, but was never impressed by the length of time before the battery gave out. I hope this is just a case of needing a new battery, but it is pretty poor for an 18th month old computer that cost about £1200. I have an 8 year old Apple laptop (seldom used), which always displays the battery charging symbol whenever it is fired up.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 30 Apr 2006 14:02:46 GMT https://community.sony.ie/t5/pcs-accessories/short-or-battery/m-p/7067#M94852 wtp 2006-04-30T14:02:46Z Re: Short or battery? https://community.sony.ie/t5/pcs-accessories/short-or-battery/m-p/7068#M94853 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>That's fast, because I have a 3 year old battery and if I leave my GRX off for 24hrs it usually is at 96%<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 30 Apr 2006 16:21:08 GMT https://community.sony.ie/t5/pcs-accessories/short-or-battery/m-p/7068#M94853 kee-lo_ 2006-04-30T16:21:08Z Re: Short or battery? https://community.sony.ie/t5/pcs-accessories/short-or-battery/m-p/7069#M94854 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>The battery charging icon returned this morning.
