About the battery pack
The battery pack built in your VAIO computer is not removable.
For safety reasons, battery charging may be suspended at higher or lower temperatures.
The battery pack is not fully charged at the time of delivery.
While the battery pack is in use or being charged, heat builds up in the battery pack. This is
normal and is not cause for concern.
