So I may think I'm extending my battery life but I'm not.</P><P>2. As I say, the Control Centre is very limited. I am unable to change power/battery life settings via Control Centre and was wondering if there is an upgrade to the control centre that I am missing?</P><P></P><P>I have attached some images so you can see what I have to work with.</P><P></P><P>This is frustrating as I have a brilliant laptop with the capability of lasting 7 hours about as thing stands I struggle to make it last two. Any help much appreicated.</P><P></P><P>Richard</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 01 May 2012 08:44:33 GMT ribatte 2012-05-01T08:44:33Z VAIO Z Series Battery Issues https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/pcs-accessories/vaio-z-series-battery-issues/m-p/320163#M24940 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I have a Z21C5E and I'm experiencing a couple of problems with it.</P><P></P><P>1.
