I´ve made a extensive research about it, and besides Sony didn't recognize the issue, I found a lot of people that has differents Vaio series (like S, PCG, etc.) with the same issue.
I´ve also used a software to measure the battery charge rate, and I found that when the battery is low (under 80%)the charge rate is around 14500 mW and it reachs 85% the charge rate is reduced to 4000 mW (the battery light turns off) and when it reachs 100% the rate is 100 mW, and remains at this level forever.
If I do not remove the battery, do you think that this really can't reduce the battery life?
Thanks again you're being very helpfull.

Another question,
a lot of people say that a laptop battery has around 1000 cycles of charge and discharge. If you do not remove the battery, each time you plug the AC adapter do you lose one battery cycle? and if you let the AC adapter plugged?
Thanks again...

Many laptops locate the battery where it cops the heat from the processor and it heats up. 40C is enough to start reducing the life.
Where it is allowed for your brand of laptop, then there is a good case to remove the battery if using the computer as a desktop replacement. This will extend the life.
