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.
