Current li chemistry does not allow as many charge/discharge cycles as you might expect, especially for high-discharge rate cells. The cells can start deteriorating after only 10-20 cycles in some instances. So the drones are going to be coming back to home base for battery replacement before long anyway.

If it even uses Li-Ion. I’d think chemical fuel more efficient.
