    Why all these problems with SA's and sheet btrys?

    I am now charging with the adapter to see if that works.

    I also updated Vaio Control software and same thing.

    What's going on here?

    Had this issue, too. Never figured a way around it, but I'd guess try toggling the option while the battery is connected? I dunno :(

    Yes, the setting is recorded in the battery itself. So you need to make sure that both batteries are connected when you change the setting in Vaio Control Centre (I don't know whether VCC has a setting for each battery, I have a Z1).

    If Battery Care is already off, try connecting both batteries, turning Battery Care on, and then turning it back off again. It may then register on both batteries.
