These three brands send us the machines people can’t bear to part with: a Satellite that runs the family accounts, a VAIO kept for its screen, a ThinkPad that has outlived three employers. The good news: their classic packs are cheap, stocked and easy to fit.

Toshiba Satellite packs
| Pack | Fits | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Toshiba PA3817U-1BRS | Satellite C640, C650, C655, L745, L750, L755 and friends | $34.79 |
| Toshiba PA5185U-1BRS | Satellite C50, C55, L50, L55 era models | $40.79 |
| Toshiba Satellite S40-B | Satellite S40-B / S40t-B series | $40.79 |
Most Satellite packs of this era are slide-out — two latches, no screwdriver. Match the PA-number printed on the old pack; the C-series and L-series share fitments widely, but the S40-B generation is a slim internal pack and different. The full swap process is in the DIY fitting guide.
Sony VAIO packs
| Pack | Fits | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Sony VGP-BPS26 | VAIO E Series, S Series and related 2011–2013 machines | $55.79 |
The VGP-BPS26 is the workhorse VAIO pack; check the VGP-number on your current battery because VAIO also used BPS26A variants on some SKUs — the product page spells out which machines take which. VAIO packs are slide-out on the E Series.
Lenovo ThinkPad packs
| Pack | Fits | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Lenovo ThinkPad X220i pack | ThinkPad X220, X220i, X220s | $54.79 |
ThinkPads of this generation are the easiest laptops anywhere to re-battery: unlatch, slide, done. If your X220 still writes smoothly and the screen suits you, a $54.79 pack is a bargain second life — the keyboard on those machines is the reason people keep them.
Older laptops: replace or retire?
The honest answer from the counter: replace when the machine does everything you need and the only complaint is runtime. Retire when storage, RAM or a failing screen are also nagging — stacking repairs on a tired machine rarely ends well. Prices here make the maths easy: three Satellites, one VAIO and one ThinkPad, all under $56, all listed on our laptop battery catalogue.
If your model isn’t in the tables, call 02 9681 7879 with the PA-, VGP- or FRU-number from the old pack and we’ll tell you straight whether we stock it.
