Is that a bug?<\/summary>\n<p>No\u2014that\u2019s by design for Power Bridge. It ensures you can hot-swap the external anytime while the internal keeps the machine alive.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>I see two batteries in Windows. Which is which?<\/summary>\n<p>Usually Battery 1 = internal, Battery 2 = external, but labels can vary. Check which percentage changes when you unplug AC and work a bit.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Battery shows \u201cPlugged in, not charging.\u201d What now?<\/summary>\n<p>First, check whether thresholds are enabled (that\u2019s expected then). If not, reboot, try a different adapter, and run a Vantage battery diagnostic. Persistent issues often indicate a tired pack.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How often should I calibrate?<\/summary>\n<p>Only when the gauge is clearly off (jumps, stalls). Routine deep cycles aren\u2019t necessary and add wear.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can I run without the external battery installed?<\/summary>\n<p>Yes\u2014on the internal alone. But runtime will be limited, and you lose the ability to hot-swap until you add an external again.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Do I need to replace both packs at once?<\/summary>\n<p>No. Replace the external first (fast, easy). If hot-swap still fails or runtime is poor, replace the internal next.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What about swelling?<\/summary>\n<p>If you see case gaps, trackpad issues, or wobble, stop using the laptop, remove AC, and arrange replacement immediately. Swollen cells are a safety hazard.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/section>\n<footer class=\"foot\">\n<p><strong>Bottom line:<\/strong> The ThinkPad X270\u2019s dual-battery Power Bridge remains a gold-standard mobility design.
