Sony Vaio SVE1713Z1EB replacement battery BSP26 or BSP26A?

jamesdeadman — Tue, 01 Nov 2016 00:33:56 GMT

We have a Sony Vaio SVE1713Z1EB and need a replacement battery. The original battery is a VGP-BSP26A, but it seems online and local shops are offering the VGP-BPS26 (rather than BPS26A).

Are they both compatible with our laptop please, and whats the difference?

I notice there is a slight difference in voltage and capacity. My local shop has ordered the VGP-BPSS6 for me but i'm concerned as its different from the original one.

Help please?

Hi,
very old question, during the configuration of the purchased online models there was the option to order the extended battery VGN-BPL26 (11.1 V), the supplied battery was the VGN-BPS26 (10.8 V).
This makes the VGN-BPS26A compatible. The three batteries are also present at the support page to the EET EUROPARTS spare parts for SVE1713Z1EB.

Hi Manolo,

Thanks for your reply.

When we purchsed the Sony Vaio it came with the VGP-BPS26A, but when searching for a new one it seems everywhere is selling really only the VGP-BSP26. I am worried as the voltage is different (11.1V instead of 10.8V).

Also, the website above does not say that the VGP-BPS26 is compatible with the Vaio SV1713Z1EB. Only the VGP-BPS26A is shown as compatible with this Vaio.

Thanks
James

In the past, for the E series, the supplied battery was also the BPS26.

However, if the spare parts support's site "EET EUROPART" considers all three batteries (BPS26/26A, BPL26) compatible with your model you will have no problems.

Thank you Manolo.

However the EET EUROPART does not list my Vaio in the list of compatible models for the BPS26, only the BPS26A. 😞 So i do not know if its okay to use either battery.

Hi Manolo,

My apologies but even though our Vaio product number is SVE1317Z1EB, the model number is SVE171E13M. It seems the BPS26 battery is not listed for this model..?

In this case, i think i might be unlucky :o|

Sony Battery VGP-BPS26(E)(Q)(S) is declared compatible and it is present in the list (see first link), not the Sony Battery VGP-BPS26(E)(W)(S), but maybe this is a mistake (?). The list of compatibility models is very long for (E)(W)(S) and we should know the differences (if there are) between the two versions to understand why "only" your VAIO isn't listed (just an error?). Find info on (E)(Q)(S) and (E)(W)(S) is not easy...

For both batteries the alternative is still the same:

MicroBattery 6 Cell Li-Ion 11.1V 4.4Ah 49wh MBI2276

Compatibility for you VAIO:

Ok, I don't know why the BPS26 in not in the list of compatible accessory of your SVE171E13M (even an error?) but the replacement alternative is the same for BPS26 and BPS26A, MicroBattery 6 Cell Li-Ion 11.1V 4.4Ah 49wh.

Hi Manolo,

Thanks for your help and time.

Yes it is strange, many compatible battery types list them as the same. I worry if BSP26 is not listed under my model number, it may be safer to just stay with BPS26A instead i think.

Thanks again,
James

@jamesdeadman,

under the display, on the right, what name is written? SVE171E13M is the chassis.

I read again the discussion, if your VAIO is came with the BPS26A and this battery is present in EET EUROPART, where is the problem?

In the first post (my mistake) you have written: "The original battery is a VGP-BSP26A", and after "When we purchsed the Sony Vaio it came with the VGP-BPS26A" so... You can buy this battery VGP-BPS26A in EET EUROPARTS for you VAIO.

If the VAIO is SVE1713Z1EB the VGP-BPS26A is available, the same battery for SVE171E13M is declared compatible but is unvailable, the answer is simple, buy the available battery...

Hi Manolo,

thanks again.

My local parts shop has already purchased the BPS26 battery for me (but I actually asked for the BPS26A) claiming it is the correct battery for my model. I wanted to confirm if it was officially compatible so that I could decide to accept it or to say no thanks. I needed to know for sure it's compatibility. (Aside, the battery on europarts website is very expensive compared to other places). I think it is sensible to request they exchange it for the BPS26A battery instead.

I appreciate all your help , thank you.

Regards,

James

At link: "10.8V and 11.1V are compatible, they are in common use."

Hi Manolo, and all,

Just to finish off this thread, i had a response from Sony support on this.

They confirm that there are only two compatible batteries for our Sony Vaio:

VGP-BPS26A

VGP-BPL26

And so the VGP-BPS26 is not seen as compatible or recommended by Sony support.

I accept the Sony support response but I still think that the BPS26 goes well, maybe they responded that way because of the problems encountered ...

Yes I have a feeling you are correct. I will remain with the BPS26A just in case

Thanks for all your help!
