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.

The battery pack can be charged even while you are using your VAIO computer when the computer is connected to a power source. The charging time may vary depending on operating conditions.

When your VAIO computer is running on battery power, you can extend the battery life using the following methods.

The charge indicator light turns on or blinks differently according to conditions.

You can change the Intel Smart Connect Technology settings in VAIO Control Center.

You can change the Low Battery Hibernation settings in VAIO Control Center.

Sleep mode enables you to take a break and retain the computer’s state, including data you are working on.

Enable the battery care function to prolong the battery lifespan. With this function, you can reduce battery degradation by limiting the charging capacity or adjusting the charging time.
