Depends on the use case and the way you organize things (can't speak for batteries though).

Disagree, that's because you don't believe in abstraction. You are not interested in knowing the difference between one version or the other. You are interested in having the same semantics in both versions and that semantics should be defined at the module API level. By #ifdefing you didn't take the time to actually think about what you really want.
Best,
Daniel
