SUMMARY
See attached for full system info, but to add some more info, I have both the standard 6-cell battery (about 57ish watthours new) and a 9-cell slice battery (about 94ish watthours new). They should be counted as batteries 1 and 2, but whenever I detach the slice battery, or put the system in sleep mode, both numbers will count up inexplicably. I'm now up to 6 and 7 just from testing that.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Acquire dual battery laptop
2. Remove battery
3. Reattach battery

OBSERVED RESULT
What used to be battery 1 and 2, have now become 2 and 3, respectively.

EXPECTED RESULT
They should remain as 1 and 2, like in Windows.
