Describe the new feature you would like

I've got one of those Thinkpads with two batteries. In the settings menu I can check the independent percentages of battery power left (screenshot added), but in the regular top bar it only displays an average percentage. With Vitals I cna at least choose which battery I'd like to see the percentage of, but I would really like it if it would be possible to view both percentages at the same time.

Reviving this issue. I also have a thinkpad, a T480. It has two batteries and one of them is hot swappable. Both of them are readable at /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 and /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT1 for internal and swappable battery, and Vitals can read both correctly, but because of how the ui is structured only one can be displayed at a time. It would be great to just have ALL the batteries appear under the battery drop down.

Here is a T480 too and indeed it would be very nice to have the possibility to display both batteries at the same time.

P.S. Thanks for this great extension
