Sony has major issues with their batteries. Most don't last 6 months, some
don't even make it to the end of the 30 day warranty.

Best way to deal with it is to buy an aftermarket battery, Energizer makes a
good one, with a longer warranty and don't leave the battery in the computer
if you don't need it. The other way is to get one of those external
batteries that velcro to the bottom of the laptop and plug into the charger
socket. About the same cost as a Sony battery, but 3 times the capacity and
they use NiMH cells that are easy to find and much less fragile.
