Checking the Battery Charge Capacity

The battery pack is consumable. The capacity gradually declines through repeated cycles of recharging and discharging.

As a result, the battery life becomes short even if it is fully charged and eventually the battery pack reaches the end of its

life.

If the battery life has become short, replace the battery pack with a new one specified by Sony. Refer to the help file for

more information on battery charge status and capacity decrease.

1. Start

VAIO Control Center and select Power and Battery. (See

to start

VAIO Control

Center.)

2. Select

Details in Battery or Battery Care Function.

Detailed battery pack information, such as charging capacity, is displayed.

Hint

Enable the battery care function to maximize the battery lifespan. With this function, you can reduce battery

degradation by limiting the charging capacity or adjusting the charging time.
