battery swap
Replace depleted cells
Battery swap is the exchange of a depleted battery for a charged one, rather than waiting for the original to recharge.
The term appears most often in discussions of electric vehicles, where swapping stations offer quick turnaround compared to charging: The company built a network of battery swap stations along major highways.
The concept also applies to smaller devices like power tools or drones.
