    Hey guys...about a year and a half ago I bought an SZ280P and my battery just crapped out. So i'm looking around for a new battery, and it seems like they're out of stock everywhere, including sonystyle. Has Sony shafted us and quit producing these batteries, or does anybody know where I can find a new one? (They have them on Amazon, but only in bright silver.) Thanks ahead of time!

    -Rob

    I see Sony is now producing the VGP-BPS9C, it looks the same, but I was unable to get confirmation that it works on the older SZ units.

    In the meantime Sony directed me here for the model you seek:

    The new batteries does not work with the older series, the voltage is different.

    Well, the website you listed doesn't even carry any Sony laptop batteries...guess I'll be keeping my eye on ebay.
