Sony made an effort for FX501 battery compared to FX401 ones: Battery power on FX401: 25.16Wh (14.8V 1700mAh) Battery power on FX501: 44.4Wh (14.8V 3000mAh)
I didn't made some testing but i think you should be able to use the VAIO more than one hour with the new battery pack.

This is a known problem on this series of VAIOs, such as FX301, 401, etc. In fact, all the battery consuming elements are controlled through the ACPI interface, thus, power management is not 100% functional yet. Plus, Sony put very low autonomy batteries by default on these models which provide, even when running an OS communicating through ACPI, about one hour of spare time. -- Thomas Seyrat. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
