Using the battery pack

Depending on your model, you can use one or two batteries as a source of power. Additional battery packs are available as a
separate option. The battery pack supplied with your computer is not fully charged at the time of purchase.
For VGN-A series only:
Certain rechargeable batteries do not meet Sony quality and safety standards. For safety reasons this notebook only functions with
genuine Sony batteries designed for this model. When inserting another kind of battery, the battery will not be charged and the
notebook will not function.
A tool is installed on your machine that checks if you use a genuine Sony battery designed for this model. When another kind of
battery is detected and your notebook:
1. is off or in Hibernate mode: your computer does not start and the battery does not charge. Replace the battery with a genuine
Sony battery.
2. is on: you receive the following pop-up message: This battery cannot be used with your computer. Please use only genuine
Sony batteries compatible with this computer. Click "OK" to put your computer into Hibernate mode. When your computer
hibernates, remove the battery, and insert a genuine Sony battery. Click OK. Your computer enters Hibernate mode. Replace
the battery with a genuine Sony battery.
