Buy this product from Amazon.com
My Sony SZ laptop worked well for the first 13 months of ownership and then the battery died. Not just poor battery life but outright died - most likely due to an internal short in the battery pack. Checking my warranty information I found that the battery is not covered by the extended warranty I bought, was beyond the one year Sony warranty and not subject to one of Sony's battery recalls. After some serious Googling I learned that the replacement batteries are expensive, generic batteries are about half the cost and some folks have reported bad experiences with generics. When I looked into the generics I did note that the power density was not the same as the Sony branded product - look at the mAh rating and the higher the better. Further Googling evidenced that Amazon was price competitive and I had the assurance of Amazon service. The new battery arrived quickly and is an exact copy of the original I had in my Sony laptop when I bought it. My only wish is that they were cheaper and longer lasting.
