And they come from the factory with a 'matched' pair of batteries. When they replace them, they replace them both at the same time. The life of the batteries is shortened by using them in parallel, but if you can afford one of those beast machines, you don't care about it.....

Everyone has a comment, but how about answering the original posters questions instead of splitting hairs on details from someone who has offered an answer to the question?
