Hi thinkpaddies. I have a T470 and it has two batteries, a built-in one and a removable one. Until recently when it was running on battery it would use the removable one first, and only when that went to 0% switch to the built-in one. Then recently the built-in one stopped working, so I bought a replacement and swapped it out. Now the the discharging order is reversed! It uses the built-in battery first and the removable one second. This is less than ideal because it will reduce the life of the built-in battery faster and that’s obviously more of a pain to replace, and also the built-in battery has less total power, so using it first witll put more stress on bother batteries. Anyone know if there's some way of changing the order in which batteries are used?
