Sony VGN-AR170 Battery
Your Sony VGN-AR170 battery makes your laptop portable so that you can use it anywhere you please. Getting a battery with a higher amp rating is OK, it just means the battery will go further on a single charge. What really is critical to a battery fitting your laptop is the connection type and physical size of the battery. More amps in a battery basically means the longer you will be able to use the laptop on a single charge. Not all batteries are the same, be sure to check the part number of the new battery and compare it to the old one.
