There has been some debate about whether or not you can simply plug in a second battery and switch into a spare receiver port. My personal experience is that you can with no issues- and don't need any additional equipment so that the bad battery won't drain the good one. I have had personal experience with this when one battery went bad on a 35% Cap 232. I was not aware that one of the batteries was bad until I checked them before the next flight.

Dave!!!
I haven't read carefully your post, here you say that the setup survived well with a bad battery. What do you mean by bad? Was it shorted?
