About change of batteries in a mission
If I have a mission created and I need to use two batteries, should I turn off the drone and also close the Dronelink application? Or can I leave it as is and just turn the drone back on and continue with the flight plan?
Is there some tutorials where it is explained how to do it?
Thanks!

When the battery gets low it will RTH and land. Shut off the drone “only” and insert next battery. Once started back up you will see it’s ready to go. Just click the start/ resume mission button and it will fly right back to the last location and continue the mission without any interruption to Video or anything else. Really amazing and works fantastic.
The mission preview in the Web App will indicate needing a battery every 15 minutes so you will know how many batteries you will need.
Good Luck and enjoy.

OK. Thank you very much!
I am covering a 2,000 acre field (3.5 km wide) for a continuous video that will require a battery change with a DJI Mavic Air 2S. Positioning in the center of the site renders the radio signal blocked at the boundaries of the site because of the low AGL of the mission. Therefore, due to the nature of the layout, I am having to follow the drone in order to 1) maintain line-of-site, 2) keep radio signal, and 3) abort the mission if problems occur. If I let the battery use until to set RTH threshold, the drone will go back to its starting point but I don't want it to RTH because I am not there. I want the drone to RTM (return to me, the controller location). Is the solution to interrupt the flight before it hits the low battery point and manually fly it back to me, replace the battery and fly it back to near the interruption point? Is there a better way to do this?
I have discovered that I can update the RTH as I am following the drone. Thanks.
