I have a PCG-505TS with a Quad life battery that I bought in Japan. It is worth every penny I paid for it. I get about 10 hours of life or so from the battery, depending on what I'd doing. more than enough for the flight from Tokyo to US, but not vice versa. After about 200 charge cycles, I'm at 95% wear on the Windows monitor. : Some web sites seem to list this battery as working with the PCG-505 : range, but it's not listed in the original documentation. I know a few : other people on the list have the same machine, and I was wondering if : anyone had conclusive proof that the battery worked in the wild. I have the PCGA-BP54 on my VAIO PCG-505-TS. 6200mAh! The TR is the TS with the screen that I wanted in it all along (the 1024x768 vs 800x600), iirc, but is otherwise the same machine.
