I too would be very interested if someone can solve this one, it would
seem to make more sense to drain the primary battery first (that you're
more likely to have a spare of) or, ideally, be able to choose.

I ended up buying 2 ultrabay batteries for my T21 on eBay to get around
this, but I'd much rather be draining and recharging my primaries first
as they are *much* easier to replace!

I've done a little Googling, but can't find any way to change this- even
in WinBlow$! Anyone got any ideas?
