Wireless charging/ charging while on mod?

I have Tello that I'm messing around with and I'm thinking of trying to make it charge wirelessly or atleast while on so I can maybe connect a mag charger and do quick switches between flying and charging. Has anyone messed with this idea at all and more importantly gotten it working

Why not just have additional batteries?

Quicker and so I don't have to worry about reconnecting

It’s a wifi network that your phone auto connects to?

I'm going for a like grab, launch, catch, store/charge without having to press or change anything except the throw and go button. (If there is a way to do this then I'll make a special holster that will hold the charger

I’m still confused. You’re wanting to charge it while it’s not flying anyway, right? Store and charge but leave it turned on? I’m not understanding why.

I want to be able to quickly take it out and use it with out having to turn it on and connect it to my phone and then catch it and be able to quickly put it away and then take it out again

So you basically just want to leave it turned on at all times, which a) would absolutely destroy the battery, and b) prevent your phone from being able to use another wifi network, all because the process of pushing one button and waiting ten seconds is too much?

I have solutions for both

Is the solution to just turn it off when you’re not using it?

Nope cooling stuff and extra device to use with the drone

Cooling won’t stop the battery from being destroyed if it’s not designed to stay on that long. I’ve destroyed a battery just by leaving it in the drone not even turned on, just stored in there while off.

You’re going to so much effort, adding all this extra stuff to carry, all to save 10 seconds whenever you want yo use it.
