The battery model is VGP-BPS22. The laptop was bought in March 2010 so
I did not find any batteries on Sony website. The laptop cannot run
without being connected to a power cord. The battery in it no longer
works.

I tried the suggestions at
https://www.sony.ca/en/electronics/s...icles/00031889 but they
did not help. I see some offered on ebay.com which claim to work, but
I wanted to confirm which battery models would work with this laptop.

1. Where can I find a replacement battery which would work with this
laptop?

2. When buying a battery from unknown seller on Walmart, ebay etc. how
can I verify if that will work properly with this laptop?

IDK, I guess that suggests you'll be playing battery roulette.

I've not bought any laptop batteries, so I couldn't tell
you who to trust. (It probably wouldn't be that battery
store at the mall :-) )

Thanks Paul,

My neighbor was told by his IT friend in office was told that putting
wrong type of battery in a laptop can be a fire hazard.
