    When the slice battery is connected to the computer, it shows up fully charged on the battery indicator in Windows. Pressing the pysical button also confirms that the battery is fully charged.

    The problem
    When using the computer on battery power, the secondary battery is not discharging - it should be the first one to be depleted.

    When the primary battery is empty, the computer shuts down as if you unplugged the power cord without having any batteries installed.

    Hope anyone has experienced the same issue and maybe have a solution.

    Try taking out the main battery and running only the slice. If it doesn't run then there might be something wrong with the connection or the battery. Since it should at least boot assuming its a windows issue.
