Had this battery replace my original Sony battery which lasted 3+ years (the original still works but starts running out of juice in half hour instead of 5 hours in a new battery). This batter is twice the capacity so I expect it to last 8-10 hours. The laptop (Sony PCG-V505) power management does show 9+ hours after a fresh charge (its really dependent on the power management settings - mine is at "Maximum Battery Life" most of the times). I don't expect it to really last 9 hours (same could be said for the original battery also) but I am sure it will be somewhere between 5-9 hours. Haven't had the chance to really try it out yet. Also note that as with most electronics these days this battery is manufactured in China. The packaging was a simple brown cardboard box and the battery was packed in foam inside. Nothing fancy like the retail blister packs that we are so used to seeing now. Had it not come from Amazon I might have suspected if it was indeed original Lenmar. I will try to update this post with any observations that might be useful.
