So Sony was feeding me a line when they told me that it was my fault that the LiIon in my notebook "died"? They said because I left it plugged in all the time (basically using the notebook as a desktop replacement and the battery as a "UPS") that caused the battery to go. The stinkin' things are like $250. I can't afford to be replacing them every 8 months or so. But I think they must be right or the battery design is crap, because I just "killed" a second one about a month ago. I'm just going to get a UPS and save some money.
