Simple axiom - Power comes from fuel used.

You need more battery for all the computing and power regulation
capability. In the end you can chose between battery tecnologies to keep
weight down, but the joules have to be there.

The PDa battery is unlikely to help here.

Hello guys!
here is the problem:
I have a V7 powered by a battery. The V7 supplies power to the LX
COlibri logger and to the Wayteq 950 PDA running SeeYouMobile. The PDA
gets the GPS signal from the Colibri through the V7. It's a very nice
setup.
During my last flight the battery died after about 3 hours even if I've
charged it 2 days before that flight. The vario went silent, the Colibri
stopped logging and the PDA had no more GPS signal. Is there any
possibility for the PDA to swap to the internal GPS if the Colibri stops
without me having to go through settings and select a different COM
port?
Also do you think it is a good idea to use the main battery for the
vario also? So far that battery powered the radio only. I would like to
keep the weight to a minimum.
Regards,
Eurofighter
