[ltp] One battery or two?

[Christos Papadopoulos]

I am facing an interesting dilemma.

I have both the regular (8-cell) and extended batteries for my X40.
Which is better for maximizing battery life, leaving the extended
battery plugged in, or not plugging it in?

If I leave the extended battery out, I save it from recharge cycles,
but "strain" the regular battery more. If I plug it in, both batteries
may share the load and the recharge cycles (or does one discharge after
the other?).

(I typically have the laptop plugged in, with 1-2 hours of battery time
every day)

Christos.
