ORIGINAL: Charlie P.

You can get fancier than RCKen's diagram and use a battery combiner, like the one from Smart Fly, that draws from the stronger battery.

Kens design, while simple and reletively inexpensive, draws on both batteries during flight continuously. This fancy do-dad would alternate between battery packs always tapping the stronger pack. At first glance the fancy do-dad was what I was thinking would be the better way to go but upon further contemplation it may just be an extra link in the chain that could fail during flight making the simple way a safer choice.
