I use a separate 2s (7.4v) 1000mAh battery on the Mephisto, I have not charged it yet...8 flights over 3 weeks, plus testing.
There are so many what if's using a shared supply. Almost certainly OK...but the effort is almost nothing and the loss of an airframe because something did shut down, not worth the risk imo.
