# IB388 Features

[Hot Swapping batteries](/inspired-documentation/products/aircraft/if800-tomcat/if800-batteries/best-practices/hot-swapping-batteries.md) allows for quick redeploy without powering down the aircraft.

[Smart BMS](/inspired-documentation/products/aircraft/if800-tomcat/if800-batteries/ib388-battery-overview/ib388-technical-specifications.md) add in many safety features to prevent the battery from being over discharger, overcharge, short circuit protection, and temperature monitoring. 

Built in [NFC tap ](/inspired-documentation/products/aircraft/if800-tomcat/if800-batteries/best-practices/obtaining-battery-statistics-via-nfc.md)to quickly view and manage battery statistics. 

The BMS internally balances the cell and no longer needs balance cable.

[Self-Discharge ](/inspired-documentation/products/aircraft/if800-tomcat/if800-batteries/best-practices/storage-and-transportation.md)for improving battery life.
