    So if I got a spare battery for the C90S, how would that work?

    Is it hot-swappable? Or do I have to turn the laptop off before I switch batteries?

    Especially if you're on battery power :D

    But I suggest hibernation instead of shutdown, it's faster.

    It might work if you switch them directly when you're on AC power, but I don't recommend it. You may get anything from blue screens to sparks :)

    Should be no reason why you couldn't swap batteries while on AC power.

    Best method is defitnely setting your laptop to hibernate when in reaches critical levels, then replace with fresh battery and wake up the system.

    ive never heard of issues about changing batteries while on ac power.
