as far as I know this is the normal behaviour.  If you want to see the
proc entry of the second battery you should _boot_ with ultrabay
containing it.   Then you can hotswap the battery or the DVD drive as
often as you want!  Eveytime you plug in the battery you will get the
second proc entry as you expect.

I think the battery probing is only done on startup, reloading the
battery module won't help :(

  Best regards from Chemnitz/Germany!
