E6400 Extended Battery
Is there a way to change the order that the batteries are depleted? I'd like for it to deplete the INTERNAL batteries first and save the external battery. This way when I remove the external and dock the laptop, the internal can be re-charged.
Since you can't charge the external while docked, I'd like to save that battery charge for later use.
Thanks,
Tim

There is only one operational battery, the "external". The internal battery is a small button cell that is used to power the NVRAM, and does not power the laptop.

I'm not talking about the button cell. My E6400 has a "6-Cell Lithium-Ion Primary Battery for Dell Latitude". In addition, I purchased the 84 WHr Extended Battery Slice for Dell Latitude E6400/6400.
The 6 cell fits inside the laptop case, the slice attaches to the bottom of the laptop. Since the 6 cell can be charged while docked, I'd like for that battery to deplete before the slice. Unfortunately, it works the other way.
Anyone?
Thanks,
