Hi, I have a Thinkpad T480 with an internal and an external (swappable) battery. I'm running Debian Bookworm with a newer kernel.
The problem I have is that the internal battery is depleting first, and only then it discharges the external battery. This is supposed to work the other way around, so when your external battery is depleted, the internal still has some oomph and you can recharge the external battery in an external device and switch to a full battery for the external one. The problem is; i'm unsure who decides what battery to first load from, possibly this is not done by the OS but by some battery firmware. Does anyone have advise?
Here is output from upower?
