Some thinkpads already come with two batteries. The program tlp knows how to handle charging and discharging two batteries very well. It just does them one at at time in a given order of priority.

Sure, but these modules are about half the size of a phone, even all four would be considerably less capacity than a full-size spare.

Yep I have a thinkpad T580 with two batteries and it works flawlessly on Fedora and has for the 3 or 4 years I've owned it.
