Anyone try a S battery in a SZ?

I am just curious...because i read this:

http://www.sonystyle.ca/commerce/se...1&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&productId=1002520

particularly the part that states:

'Designed exclusively for use with the VAIO® SZ and FE Series Notebooks.
It is also backwards compatible with S, FJ and FS Series Notebooks.
Provides additional hours of mobile use.'

Just want to know if it is forwards compatible as well.

The part number for the two parts differ by a 1 letter suffix only:

VGPBPS2C

VGPBPS2


Any thoughts/experiences?

Thanks!

 

well according to the specs of the battery on Provantage VGPBPS2C works
with Compatibility Sony VAIO Series Notebooks:

* VGN-FE590
* VGN-FE590GC
* VGN-FE590PA
* VGN-FE590PB
* VGN-SZ140
* VGN-SZ140PC
* VGN-SZ140PD
* VGN-SZ160P/C
* S Series
* FJ Series
* FS Series

while the VGP-BPS2 is compatible for the S, FS and FJ notebooks so as long as you have a
* VGN-SZ140
* VGN-SZ140PC
* VGN-SZ140PD
* VGN-SZ160P/C
then the
VGPBPS2C should work for you

Thanks for the info! Quick response too!

So are you saying that a VGP-BPS2 will work in an SZ? I know the VGP-BPS2C is backwards compatible i just want to know if the VGP-BPS2 is forwards compatible?

Thx Again.

 

well according to buylaptopbattery and bhphotovideo the VGP-BPS2 is forward compatible but provantage says it isnt.

So if you could give us the exact model of sz you talking about it might help provide some more clarity.

I just picked up a VGP-BPL2 on clearance at Circuit City for $115. Seems to be working OK in my SZ370. It's charging up right now. I might go grab another...

 

****. My VGP-BPL2C just started going south and replaced it with the same thing.

Do all CCs carry that battery?

 

Only 1 out of 3 Circuit City's in my area had any. Good luck!
