What is similar to that two types of batteries is when you remain without battery power, you get a new battery, a battery that is compatible with the whole system, with the car assembly ot with the motherboard, the processor and the battery bay why not. If you buy a battery that doesn’t have the same dimensions as the depleted battery, you get a new battery for nothing.
Think that the new battery won’t fit in the location that is destined for it. How do you think the battery will power the whole system when you don’t use another power source? You’re right, the battery can’t provide energy simply because it cannot fit into the battery location.
A Sony VAIO laptop battery is a Li-Ion battery or a Li-polymer battery. Long time ago, there were used the NiMh batteries, but thank God the Li-Ion chemistries were developed and they replaced the NiMh batteries. The NiMh battery used before had a lower energy and obviously provided a lower runtime for the computer.
A computer which doesn’t run a long time on batteries is reported as a bad computer or a less performant. In fact, not the battery is the component giving the computer’s performance. It is delivered by other components: the processor of the Sony VAIO laptop, the memory, the speed of those two, the front side bus speed, the amount of space that is available on the hard drive and that’s about it.
The batteries made for Sony computers are manufactured by Sony or by Sony Corporation in collaboration with other electronic fabricants. They provide from 2 hours to 9 hours of runtime, this only in the first year of functioning. As the time passes by, the battery will decrease little by little its capacity of providing energy. After three years or maybe four, you will be forced to change the battery, because the capacity of delivering energy will be too low and you will not be able to use the computer for demanding tasks anymore.
A demanding task would be watching a movie. You can’t say that for a processor is very stressful to run a movie. But when the battery is nearly depleted, you will experience this situation. This can happen if you run a movie that is stored in your hard drive.
If you are planning to watch a movie directly from a CD or DVD, the situation will get worse. You could see the images interrupted or you could see just 10 minutes of the movie and after that the computer shutting down. The first problem with the images that could get interrupted is usually corelated with a bad inverter.
