    Has anyone been able to get a current read out of their Sony battery's cycle count? :confused:

    I have a Z12 series... It's getting very hard to find a genuine Sony extended batteries anywhere. (VGP-BPL20) Just need to find out how much life I have left on my 2 extended batteries purchased in 2010 when I bought the laptop.

    Sony website is sold out... Herman Electronics, an authorized reseller appears to have some but their site will not let me order one. Gotta wait till monday to call them up to verify inventory. Any suggestion on where to find one other than eBay would be greatly appreciated!

    You should be able to prise out at least a wear level using SIW or similar.
