Maestro battery and CHOPPY audio

I just swapped the battery while sitting outside with my Maestro for the past 4hrs and with a freshly charged battery the audio became very "choppy" after swapping. i did not restart Maestro but went to WIFI settings and restarted that way and it's ok again. I got about 4hrs out of the larger battery before it started to get low when I did the swap. Was I wrong by not shutting down ? Running latest ver of SSDR when this happened.
TNX in advance for any help or thoughts!

    The Maestro's internal battery is there for hot swapping. My experience, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Maybe our internal battery lacked a full charge and that explains it. Or maybe we interfered with the wifi signal while swapping batteries.

    Did you check to see that rate and FPS are still turned down in "display" ?

    Its almost brand new but after a month it got bricked while doing an upgrade so it got sent back to mommy about a month ago to get re imaged and one of the encoders got bent during shipment which mommy fixed, THANK YOU FLEX !!! Anyways, I keep it plugged in even when its not on to keep the internal batt charged. From what I understand the internal batt should last couple minutes? took me about 15 seconds to swap the batt and it from what I remember the Maestro was working  fine until it switched to the freshly charged external batt. and thats when the audio became "choppy"
