My AR51SU does the same thing. When I reported it to Sony they referred me to an engineer who stated that a discharge is perfectly normal. I disagree but decided to remove the battery when the laptop is switched off. When the battery is left connected it can lose up to 14% charge overnight when it is switched off. With the battery removed it discharges only 1 or 2%.<BR />It has been mentioned that it may be caused by Sony's battery management program (ISBMGR.exe - or something similarly named).<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 11 Apr 2009 18:39:50 GMT https://community.sony.it/t5/pcs-accessories/battery-issues-sr19xn/m-p/115674#M54540 micdonal 2009-04-11T18:39:50Z
