Hint
  • The charging time varies depending on ambient temperature.
    Note that at a low ambient temperature, it takes longer time to charge the battery pack.

  • Open the desktop [Details] and select the battery icon, such as (on battery) or (plugged in), in the desktop notification area to check the built-in battery status of your VAIO computer.

  • On rare occasions, the battery icon indicates that the battery pack is completely discharged even though the battery pack still has battery power left. Wait for a while until the actual remaining battery capacity is displayed.
