Hi PATIBBY,

as far as I can tell the batteries for the VPC M12M1E are as folows _

VGP-BPS21 - Standard capacity

VGP-BPL21 - Large capacity

You may be able to purchase these from Sonystyle.com.

If not then you should be able to purchase a replacement battery from Vaio  support or possibly from one of Sony's authorised repair partners, to  find the contact number for Vaio support.

Open Vaio support, either by clicking Support at the top of this page or use the following link:Vaio support

Under Log-in option 1: Enter your vaio models serial number, which you should find on the bottom of your Vaio.

Then click Log-In

Once logged select Get In Touch

Then Click on the Out of Warranty tab, then Phone support.

To locate the nearest Sony service partner click on Out of Warranty Service tab

You  may find cheaper prices for a replacement battery via Google but be  aware than some retailers sell non Sony compatible batteries with the  same battery model number..

Hello Thalamus

Thank you for your reply on further reseach I found a reference http://www.sony.co.uk/product/vn-m-series/vpcm12m1e-w to the model number being VGP-BPS13B/Q and another reference listing the VGP-BPS21 and VGP-BPS13 as being the same.
