Maybe there is a possibility of automatic checking if second battery slot is used at all? I have compaq nx6310, adding second battery is optional and most nx6310 users have only one battery. I don't consider buying another one, and as a result if I check "Show the state for each battery present" I will get one useless battery icon. If I don't check this option I have only one icon but state is marked as 50% which is technically correct but it is not correct from user perspective. 

In Bug #156597, someone stated that "I'd like two have a list where I can select which battery I want to see and include into the summary.". It is not the best way to fix this. I could live with this and configure it for me, but much better way of fixing this is to remove useless icon from applet instead of showing a battery at 0%. (as stated in comment #2)
