Insufficient battery power is an issue that many drone pilots are confronted with and this often leads them to question whether they can install a bigger battery in their drones. Of course, a bigger battery will allow you to fly longer but it is also going to add more weight to your drone. The more that the battery weighs, the less time your drone is going to remain in the air.
Now you may be wondering how you can overcome this issue. Because a bigger battery is going to reduce flight time, it is recommended that you swap the current battery instead and replace it with a new one mid-flight. This means that during the initial stages of the flight, your drone will function via a primary battery then as it begins to lose power, it will switch to the secondary battery which will become the main source of power. Although this is a concept that sounds fairly straightforward, the secondary battery needs to be carried by a smaller drone in which it will then dock alongside to transfer the batteries.
Hybrid drones are perhaps one of the most versatile types of drones available. A drone of this kind is designed with an electric motor and an internal combustion engine. As they operate they can transition between two power modes. As such, they are likely to last for a decent amount of time in the air.
