I had an idea and I just want to run it by everyone to see if I’m missing anything.
Drones have a mod that lets them add an armor upgrade. The armor upgrade “backup generator” lets you recharge an item by one charge for every 10 minutes of activity.
Is there anything preventing me from doing this to charge batteries with my hover drone flying in circles while we rest and giving it the command to replace the battery with a new one when the current one is charged? I figure with an 8 hour resting period that’s 48 charges that can be replenished.
So am I missing something with this? Is this something that lots of folks do and I’m just not aware?

That is totally 100% legit, so legit I have a player in my home game doing JUST this to save money, well except I don't make them fly the drone as the normal "following" movements the drone would make are more than enough to keep the generator working, similarly they're an Android and have another one equipped to their own personal Upgrade Slot.
The party hasn't bought or looted a single battery since.
That makes me feel better. I guess the only thing that may be a factor is the fact that later in levels as the usage rate of energy weapons goes up this may become less efficient.
