A drone is described. The drone includes a propulsion system, a base station transceiver, a tether connector, and a power system. The power system has a battery and a chopper circuit. The chopper circuit bleeds excess charge from the battery. The power system is configured to power the propulsion system, and to power the base station transceiver through the chopper circuit. The power system is also configured to receive electrical power, through the tether connector, to charge the battery while the drone is in the air.
