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 [Details] and select Power and Battery.

2. Select Details in Battery.

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 maximum charging capacity.
