Is the rear battery, battery 1 or 2? It's my battery 2 that won't charge any more. But maybe I should just change them both. Do you sell both of them or just the one?
My laptop says Battery 1 is at 0% and does not hold a charge and Battery 2 is at 88% and I have 4h 22min of estimates time remaining. Which battery do I need to replace? Upper or lower?

You would think Lenovo would make this information readily available. Im in their manual right now. Not seeing anything. Extremely annoying. Will just use a trial and error method removing one and see if thats the defective one.

Looks like battery 1 is the larger battery.

If I remove battery 1 or 2 will there be any problem running my laptop?
