Thought of that, but suspected it might confuse the heck out of the battery meter and screw up calibration. 2 batteries, or 3, and we're all set for a couple of days.

Hmm... good point about the battery meter, especially running 2 batteries with different capacities. If they were identical batteries and ran them down to the same point each time, that may work, but not all "identical" batteries are the same, nor do they degrade at the same rate, so over time the meter would get confused again.

Suppose it would be interesting if batteries and the meters were smart enough to recognize eachother and be linked by a code...
