I'd love to see an optional cover that would allow me to switch in a 3S LiPO like this one:

I would envision a replacement top plate with a battery door.The inside connector could be power pole, or deans or XT60.Leave enough room in the inside plastic/padded tray for the battery, cable and possibly a dongle to convert from one plug style to the other.That's also plenty of room for an 8AA cell holder too.
The toggle switch would switch between internal / external battery power. External power would NOT be used for charging.
This approach should be both lighter and have higher capacity than current SLAB option.
What do y'all think?
