I found the VGP-BPSC24 VAIO Extended Sheet Battery for SA Series Laptops gave me the battery life I needed for long flights and airport use. I would recommend it if you your needs are to run without AC power for an extended time.

Comments about Sony VGP-BPSC24 VAIO Extended Sheet Battery for SA Series Laptops:
I bought this sheet battery for my month-old Sony VPCSC laptop. I wanted it so that my computer would last just over a full day of classroom and programming work. Sony advertises this accessory as follows, "Get up to 15 hours total combined battery life* (double the standard battery life) with this extended sheet battery designed for use with VAIO SA, SB or SC Series laptops..." I have not seen anywhere near this number; even when using integrated graphics, medium screen brightness, and low processor load (Web browser, text editor, etc.). With only the integrated battery installed, Windows 7 reports approximately 7 hours remaining on a full battery charge. But with both batteries installed and fully charged, Windows never reports above 10 hours. I also observed these numbers after several discharge-charging cycles for both batteries, which is sometimes necessary with lithium-ion batteries to reach full capacity. Additionally, Windows automatically uses the the extended battery first (until about 10% remains) before switching to the internal battery. I've monitored the percentage (%) remaining which seems to decrease very rapidly while using the extended battery as compared to the integrated battery. Needless to say, I am very unimpressed with this accessory and would not recommend anyone spend $120+ and a lot of extra carrying weight on this product.
