Hot-swapping battery configurations on a Pro rig
What the thread found
- A jumper block with a blank space can serve as a hot-swap mechanism for the camera position
- Two 12V battery positions can be wired in parallel using a jumper block to extend runtime and enable hot-swapping, provided diodes are installed on each line to prevent cross-charging between batteries
Depends on
- The discussion does not clarify the exact specifications of the diodes required
- Only one respondent confirmed the parallel wiring approach with diodes; alternative methods like male-to-male D-tap cables were mentioned but not validated
