A flying vehicle with a battery pack associated with each propulsion module, not centrally located, that is plug and play, meaning it can be easily removed by hand and swapped with any other battery of same model and serial number and used within a propulsion module to power the propulsion system. The system includes battery management modules for monitoring battery pack voltage and evenly re-distributes power across all independent battery packs keeping each pack within relative voltage of each other. The packs within the vehicle are monitored for balancing so one pack cannot become too low in power as to not operate while the vehicle's other packs are still working.
