Bug Battery Bar Calculations Incorrect with dual batteries
I have a HP 2710p with a standard and travel (secondary) battery. When the secondary battery is used up, it goes to the standard battery. When this battery is used, it looks like the time calculation uses the formula
Time remaining = (Remaining Capacity-Capacity)/Discharge Rate

If I remove the secondary battery, the estimated time is correct again. Once popping it back in, it goes back to the incorrect time. I have attached my profile and two screenshots with dual batteries in.

RE: Battery Bar Calculations Incorrect with dual batteries
I looked at the two pictures and I'm not sure that I see much difference, other than the time remaining is lower in one than the other. To see exactly what's going on behind the scenes, you'll need to generate a debug log. The steps are here:

For step 3 (reproduce) make sure to follow the procedures you stated in your message, such as starting with two batteries, removing one, and replacing it. In the comments section, please reference this thread.
