Sony Rechargeable Battery Pack VGP-BPS41

The Sony VGP-BPS41 is a lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack specifically designed for use in Sony VAIO laptops. This component reflects the transition period in Sony's electronics history, as it bears labeling from both Sony Electronics Co., Ltd. and Sony Corporation. The battery features a 3140mAh capacity and is rated at 36Wh, intended as an internal power source for slim-profile portable computers.

While Sony is a quintessentially Japanese global conglomerate, manufacturing for high-volume consumer electronic components and batteries is primarily centered in China to leverage specialized electronics manufacturing ecosystems. Sony's battery business underwent significant restructuring over the years, including the sale of its battery module business to Murata Manufacturing, though the Sony brand continues to appear on legacy components and specific authorized hardware.

Sony Group Corporation remains the ultimate owner of the Sony brand. Headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, Sony is one of the world's most recognizable brands in the technology and media sectors, maintaining a vast network of subsidiaries like Sony Electronics Inc. to handle regional operations, distribution, and product lifecycle management across the globe.
