[QUOTE="Dodge DeBoulet, post: 89766, member: 14925"] I don't know that it would save much time. The GPS lock will be almost instantaneous after a battery change anyway, so you're really only losing 15-30 seconds by turning the Spark off, swapping batteries, and turning it on again. A battery hot-swap would require some sort of built-in 'bridge' battery to keep the processor/RAM operational while the main battery is switched out, and that would add weight. I also think there's value in having the drone go through it's boot-up self-check with a fresh battery before the next takeoff. [/QUOTE]
