    Battery Care function program is not discriminating between different batteries I use. Sz650N/C

    There is a setting called "Setting for Battery Care Function on each battery" -- "when you use multiple batteries to power the compuyer, specify the setting mode for each battery)"

    The problem is, the %charge desired does not change when I swap different batteries (i.e. normal and high capacity battery)? It stays at whatever the last setting was.

    It comes on the TZ, not sure about other models. I'm not a big fan of the concept though, extends battery longevity by using less of the total capacity.
