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?

Just Google the part number and you'll find many suppliers. Pick one,
Amazon for example, that has a decent return policy and spend your money
there. At some point in the life cycle of a product that is considered
basically a throw-away after five years you are going to get to this
point and you have to live with it. I keep my ancient HP laptop (old
enough that it still has a DVD drive inside) going with generic
replacement batteries and drives and haven't suffered too much for it.

Thanks John,

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.
